So you have to allow full access in your settings then once you select the emoji you have to paste it into your field. Super cute though! I love it. Makes me realize how general emojis are not inclusive at all, some cultures don’t use those and use completely different ways of talking. As these are gifs they probably take up a lot of space so there’s that. But I love it! ### 4/5 — It’s all good but... *2020-03-10* I love the app but I notice there’s no happy ones: no good mornings, happy faces or just hugs n kisses. Makes me wonder😂PLEASE ADD US ITALIANS BEING HAPPY! PER FAVORE!!! ### 3/5 — Can be better. Not enough creativity. *2019-08-11* Really not enough verity. Definitions of some of the emojis would be helpful. Enough with grandpa and grandma! ### 2/5 — Meh *2018-09-17, version 1.8* I like the “emojis” but with the copy and paste thing I might as well use images from the internet. This needs to be fixed in the next update ASAP! ### 2/5 — Paula *2018-09-06* Like others, I’m concerned about the full access business. I tried to look at the privacy policy and got a “content not available” message, so now I’m even more concerned. I am learning Italian and would love it if a definition would pop up when I hover over an icon. ### 4/5 — Che cazzo dice?? *2018-02-26, version 1.7* Works fine for me. Pretty funny stuff. ### 2/5 — Fun but annoying *2017-12-01* When using the app my ability to get back to my keyboard is often disabled. I must then exit from the App to rewrite a message. ### 2/5 — Ok but *2017-07-30, version 1.7* Seems ok but not really happy with Needs to copy and paste. And requires full access to keyboard:( ### 1/5 — Privacy *2017-07-28, version 1.7* This app wants to have full access to your data to use it, with full access the developer can have infos about ALL you typed including bank accounts details your personal informations etc, do you really think that someone is so silly to do it ????!!!!!! ### 2/5 — Waste of $$ *2017-07-23* The hand emoji that is the logo is not even one of their emojis and the way it works it really inconvenient wish i could get my $$ back **Developer response:** Hi LRocktheParty The hand emoji, like the icon, you will find in the app. All emojis that we advertise you will find in the app. Please make sure you are using the app properly by scrolling/swiping across and up/down all pages to view the full list. Please follow the instructions on how to use this very user friendly app. ### 1/5 — Waste Of Money - Do Not Buy *2017-07-02* This app requires full access -- which means to everything you TYPE with your keyboard and everything you HAVE TYPED PREVIOUSLY with your keyboard. This includes credit card info and God knows whatever else you've typed thinking it's a personal text convo or note to self. Partial access only allows about 5 emojis and they are the stupid ones -- like people standing, not even the flag, grapes, or cannolis. ABSOLUTE WASTE OF $2 for an app deleted 5 minutes after purchase. Too bad this place doesn't allow refunds. **Developer response:** Hi Nova1929282 Full access is standard when you install a third party keyboard, otherwise they won't work in your iMessage. You would still be able to use the emojis but only through the app itself, rather than straight through your keyboard if you didn't want to allow access. We clearly state on the description on the App Store that we DO NOT collect any of your personal identifying information or transmit anything you type. Please read our privacy policy in the app settings to clarify that we do not see or use your info before allowing full access. There is no 'partial' access. Once you have downloaded the app you have full access to all emojis and gifs with or without installing as a third party keyboard. Please follow the instructions on how to use this very user friendly app. ### 3/5 — Mensa mens *2017-06-02* The idea is great but these aren't emojis they're gifs. It's very clunky the way you have to switch keyboards and then you have to copy and paste a large picture not insert an inline emoji. ### 3/5 — Italian Emoji *2017-06-02* I do not like that the developer has free access to my content. I can't really use it unless I turn it on and off. The emojis are five star otherwise. Allow for better privacy for your buyers. **Developer response:** Hi Boscha Full access is standard when you install a third party keyboard, otherwise they won't work in your iMessage. You would still be able to use the emojis but only through the app itself, rather than straight through your keyboard if you didn't want to allow access. We clearly state on the description on the App Store that we DO NOT collect any of your personal identifying information or transmit anything you type. Please read our privacy policy in the app settings to clarify that we do not see or use your info before allowing full access. ### 1/5 — Not worth it, and wrong! *2017-05-13, version 1.7* Don't waste your money on this, the emojis are not that good.As an Italian I can say this, 1. some of the gestures are wrong 2. the translation in English is wrong, more importantly the Italian description of them is all wrong! 3. We don't eat ( or have) spaghetti with meatballs in Italy! That is American! Clearly who ever made this is not from Italy. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2023-12-29* I gave it access, clicked and accepted, apples pop-up window, and when I go to use it, it's not there. It's like it doesn't exist. ### 1/5 — Forget about it. *2021-05-05* It’s nothing like the presentation ad and when you click on the store link in the app it goes to a critical virus threat warning. ### 1/5 — False advertisement *2020-05-01, version 1.8* The emojis they show aren’t even the ones that you get. ### 1/5 — Not working *2020-02-22, version 1.8* Nice clips but will not paste from Italian keyboard to Facebook or text. Gonna have to delete it. ### 1/5 — Good idea but why are they so large? *2020-01-31, version 1.8* Honestly it would be better to have emojis that are the same size as the stock emojis. Kinda regret buying because I won’t use them... ### 1/5 — Deceiving Advertising. *2018-10-03, version 1.8* The preview shows a lot more emojis than what you actually receive. Save your 2.79 for something else more legitimate. Terrible! ### 1/5 — Waste of money!! Stereotypical and wrong!! *2018-09-20* Don’t buy this app! It is a waste of money and stereotypes the wonderful Italian people and culture in a negative American perspective. Please remove from Apple Apps! ### 1/5 — Waste of Money *2018-02-19, version 1.7* Bought this literally just for small hand gesture emojis, but they’re not even emojis, they’re just stickers. Doesn’t work with Instagram as a result. Useless. ### 1/5 — DONT BUY *2018-01-14, version 1.7* I downloaded this app intending to use it for an Instagram post. Doesn’t work. Can only use for text. ### 1/5 — Full Access??? *2017-08-12* I don't understand why the app needs full access! Allowing the developer to have access to everything I type? Not good, invasion of privacy! And the excuse that it's needed for it to work does not cut it, there has to be something you (developer) can do.... the emojis are awesome but it's a big NO to full access. **Developer response:** HI Mohpusa, Full access is standard when you install a third party keyboard, otherwise they won't work in your iMessage. You would still be able to use the emojis but only through the app itself, rather than straight through your keyboard if you didn't want to allow access. We created the app with these 2 options, so please do not leave us a bad review for something that is out of our control and also giving you the option to use straight through the app. We clearly state on the description on the App Store that we DO NOT collect any of your personal identifying information or transmit anything you type. Please read our privacy policy in the app settings to clarify that we do not see or use your info before allowing full access. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it *2024-01-15* This app is great. I love being able to send those Italian emojis to my friends and family instead of a plain old emoji. The crossed arms, biting hand, chin flick are Italian classics that will never go out of style! ### 5/5 — Great App! *2023-12-02* I enjoy it with family and friends!! Thank you!! Ciao! ### 5/5 — Facebook *2020-07-04* I Would Like Toto suggest Having Italian Emoji Work on Facebook not Just Message. App ### 5/5 — Che cullo! *2020-04-08, version 1.8* Che cullo! To have found these! May I ask on the next update to have the index finger on the cheek? The sign for buonissimo? And I wouldn’t mind a forehead slap either! Grazie! ### 5/5 — Great images! *2019-11-30* Easy interface whether through the keyboard or app in iOS. So cute and fun. More images please! ### 5/5 — It's like having my Grandparents online. *2017-07-29* This app cracks me up! I love the animation. And since my Grandparents made every one of these gestures I know where/when to use them. As for people complaining about access by the developer, you're online. Privacy is an illusion. ### 5/5 — The Best! *2017-05-08* Reminds me of my grandparents! Exact gestures. Great! I hope they keep adding more to the list!!! ### 5/5 — Real Italian Gestures! *2017-04-04, version 1.6* I can't stop laughing and using this app. It reminds me so much of my family & friends. ### 5/5 — Funny App *2017-04-04, version 1.6* Use it through the app if you don't wanna give full access. Overall great app, hilarious to use when texting with my parents. ### 5/5 — So funny *2017-04-03, version 1.6* these make my text messages to my friends much more interesting. Five stars. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
