I love using it, and it does conjure the old school vibes in any iPhone chat. There’s a single request I have that would elevate it to 5 stars, the ability to import chats. You can save ones you’ve done that you like, but if your friend sends a good one or you forget to click save before sending, there doesn’t seem to be a way to import the images into yours for modifying or saving. If you find a way to do that, it would be HUGE. ### 4/5 — really good lags a bit tho *2025-04-11, version 1.1* weh ### 5/5 — Text *2025-03-27* Absolutely love this My note though: if yall update this, can yall make it so that the chat window is smaller so it doesn’t take up the whole screen ? But still 10/10 ### 4/5 — Just one thing… *2025-03-25, version 1.1* I wish there was a Japan keyboard like the original PictoChat had. Other than that it’s an amazing app!!! ### 5/5 — . *2025-03-23, version 1.1* I love ittt but I wish it had the sounds ### 5/5 — Needs multiple size formats *2025-03-07, version 1.1* I absolutely love this app, but I’d like to request a way to make the keyboard larger. Maybe if we had the option to put ( send ) ( favorites ) and ( delete ) on top, and have all of the pallets be a pop-up menu activated with one button to create room for a bigger keyboard? I’d love to see this as an alternative option. Having pictochat on phones has been a dream of mine for years, so I’m over the moon to see this implemented in such a simple way. ### 5/5 — LOVE IT *2025-03-06, version 1.1* As a huge Nintendo fan I love this app so much I’m gonna share it with my friends ### 5/5 — Perfection *2025-03-04, version 1.1* This brings joy ### 5/5 — Super Cute!! *2025-03-04, version 1.1* I love this! What a cute way of modernizing an old classic. Some suggestions would be some sort of Dark Mode support and fixing the scaling on iPad (the favorites show at all times which covers the chat window). Outside of that, this is so so neat! ### 5/5 — Oh my lord *2025-03-04, version 1.1* I don’t know what I expected from this but it exceeds every expectation I had. I am now highly considering buying a stylus just for this ### 5/5 — YES! *2025-03-03, version 1.1* I’ve been waiting for someone to make this, it’s epik!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — How do I delete this??? *2026-06-13, version 1.1* It’s making everything super slow and I can’t figure out how to get rid of it ### 1/5 — I want to get rid of it *2025-09-17, version 1.1* How do you remove/delete it off on an iPhone 14 Pro ### 1/5 — Can’t uninstall it *2025-09-05, version 1.1* The app does not show up like other apps.
