The only thing I don’t like is how big they are. (That’s what she said.) but other than that they’re... pretty cool. ### 3/5 — Nur in iMessage...! *2020-07-12* Das dieser Punkt vorher nicht eindeutig gekennzeichnet wird, grenzt an Veräppellung. Gutes Produkt nun nutzlos... In anderen Worten - wer benutzt schon iMessage zum Chatten...? **Developer response:** Sorry, it's an iOS limitation: stickers from the App Store only work in iMessage. If it doesn't suit you, you can request a refund from Apple. Also, you can download the animated GIFs from our site and use them in other apps: https://qotoqot.com/sad-animations/ ### 4/5 — Cute, but only iMessage :( *2020-07-09* Love the stickers, but it’s sad I can’t use them in the apps I usually use :( **Developer response:** Sorry, it's an iOS limitation: stickers from the App Store only work in iMessage (SMS app). If it doesn't suit you, you can request a refund from Apple. Also, you can download the animated GIFs from our site and use them in other apps: https://qotoqot.com/sad-animations/ ### 4/5 — small *2019-12-03* if it was smaller it would be prettier ### 2/5 — Стал снимать деньги каждый месяц *2019-11-15* 🤷🏼‍♀️ как отключить их теперь не понятно **Developer response:** Добрый день! Это какой-то другой продукт, Sad Stickers списывают оплату только один раз (стикеры в App Store не могут продаваться по подписке в принципе). ### 3/5 — No para whatsapp *2019-10-17* Es medio dólar Esta bien le pagaramos la terapia a esta mujer pero espero que por ese mismo medio dolar bos avise cuando se pueda usar en plataformas que la gente si usa “Create un videojuego para gente con depresión, solo en atari..... pfff” **Developer response:** Lo siento, los stickers solo funcionan en iMessage, es la limitación de iOS. :( Por favor, solicite a Apple un reembolso de una compra de App Store. También podría descargar los GIFs para otras aplicaciones desde nuestro sitio: https://qotoqot.com/sad-animations/ ### 4/5 — Why only three star? *2019-09-09, version 1.0* This app really deserves 5 stars but I rarely use messages and would want them for messagnir and WhatsApp. I understand you can get them as gifs from your website but I don’t know how to do that sorry. Change to four stars as someone helped me get the gifs from your site I would still love to see them as a keyboard though as they are so useful and express what I cannot say at the time ### 3/5 — Gut - viel Platz für besser *2019-01-21* Ich liebe diese Sticker. Leider habe ich keine Leute in meiner Messinger-Liste, denen ich gerade diese Sticker schicken möchte. Es wäre echt toll, wenn ich sie auch woanders nutzen könnte. Meine Freunde, die bei Depressionen mitfühlen, habe ich bei Telegram und Facebook **Developer response:** Sorry, it's an iOS limitation: stickers from the App Store only work in iMessage (SMS app).

También podría descargar los GIFs para otras aplicaciones desde nuestro sitio: https://qotoqot.com/sad-animations/ ### 2/5 — AL MENOS, AVISAR *2019-01-13* Cuando no se puede utilizar en WA, al menos debería estar claro en su publicidad. Que sea una limitación de IOS no exime al vendedor de su obligación de informar. **Developer response:** Lo siento, los stickers sólo funcionan en iMessage, es la limitación de iOS. No avisamos de esto porque hay un letrero "Sólo para iMessage" en cada perfil de todos los stickers en App Store. Por favor, solicite a Apple un reembolso de una compra de App Store.

Reading Irina’s story resonated so much with me. And I know there are so many people all over the world that can relate in some way to Irina’s story. And so many that have suffered at least one period of depression or anxiety. The sticker pack is simple. There are no bells and whistles, just plain old black and white illustrations. When someone is experiencing a certain feeling or mood, one doesn’t feel a yellow emoticon with a frowning face is enough, to get their message across. Each image packs so much emotion that no words are necessary. They’re perfect for opening a dialogue or a simple ‘Are you okay?’ Some reviewers are asking for more, but 19 little figures displaying a range of emotions is more than enough especially when responding to a text message. Who wants to scroll through millions of images anyway! Sad Animations Stickers is fun, yet they’re highly important stickers at that. They are effective when one cannot put into words how they’re feeling, let alone make sense of it themselves. I love the stickers so much I’ve purchased them for my wife. Great price too. Best wishes to you on your journey Irina. And thank you to you and Ivan for such amazing work. ### 5/5 — Отлично! *2019-01-12* Стикеры очень понравились👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 ### 2/5 — Meh *2019-01-12, version 1.0* I love the stickers but I wish you could just download them for depressing edits e.g. ### 5/5 — Unique *2019-01-11* Design simple, propre et bien réalisé. Expressions trop rarement retranscrites par d’autres emojis, smileys ... Cela permettra peut-être à certain(e)s de pouvoir transmettre leur mal-être de manière simple et sans ambiguïté. Beau travail de création. ### 5/5 — Relatable ヽ(；▽；)ノ *2019-01-11, version 1.0* I love these stickers! They are very well made and I can relate to them on a personal level, not at all overpriced either, would love more stickers like these! 💕💕💖 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Wenig Sticker *2025-02-02* Keine 20 Sticker und mit nervigen Bugs, weil die App seit Jahren nicht aktualisiert wurde.

Questi piccoli disegni sono meravigliosi. Riescono nell’intento a far passare (in maniera meravigliosa) un messaggio in modo che arrivi all altro senza risultare inappropriato. C’è una gamma tra le espressioni più importanti ed essenziali di sentimenti e stati d’animo in genere molto difficili da comunicare a parole senza sbagliare, specialmente per un introverso. Ti permettono di esprimere come a parole non riuscirei mai. Si vede che c’è stato un grande lavoro di studio e ricerca per raccogliere così bene questi sentimenti che a volte non sappiamo esternare. Ne vorrei altri ma non ne trovo di simili. Mi chiedo come mai lo sviluppatore non ne faccia altri 🙏 ### 5/5 — No me gusta *2022-02-03* No me gusto por que no tiene tantos emojis y no sé qué tengo que hacer para ya no tener esa aplicación, no sé cómo decís tálala ### 5/5 — Me encantan *2021-04-24* Las animaciones son muy buenas, bonitas y se adaptan a muchas situaciones. ### 5/5 — Funziona solo su iMessage (ma c’era scritto in descrizione) *2021-01-17* Animazioni molto belle, che NON funzionano su whatsapp, ma sono disponibili anche su qotoqot.com 5 stelle per il valore estetico, e anche per l’importanza data a dei problemi di salute mentale ancora poco rappresentati! ### 5/5 — MUCHAS GRACIAS *2020-10-01* Es excelente ### 5/5 — Super *2020-07-12* Eine wirklich gute Idee, sehr ansprechend umgesetzt. ### 5/5 — Great *2020-06-08, version 1.0* In Aus App Store, charged $0.99 Aud as stated. Nice pack 👍 ### 5/5 — All Relatable *2020-02-19, version 1.0* Just a simple, animated sticker pack. There are 20 as of time if writing. Every sticker is a mood. They are so relatable it’s funny. I like and recommend them. 😉 ### 5/5 — Стикеры *2020-01-21* Прикольные стикеры, списали ровно сколько указанно. ### 5/5 — My favorite stickers *2020-01-02, version 1.0* The best stickers for the sad times, which in our current world state is all the time. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
