Response from developer

Hey there KTheOneTrueKing! Thank you for your post. I’ve identified the issue and an update has been uploaded this evening. You should see your fix in version 3.2.1, I would love to hear if things got fixed for ya and maybe you could revisit the rating! (◎ヮ◎)

Keyboard disappears

Same issue as others have said, keyboard randomly goes away and never reappears unless reinstalled. Would give 5 stars but I can't even use the keyboard...

UPDATE: Keyboard disappearing issue has been long gone. This is a fantastic app! Not updated very often but it’s already got a large inventory of emotes already

Great app with a great dev

I promised I’d give this 5 stars if the devs fix the bugs 1 year ago; and they’re completely fixed! Amazing app. (Sorry if I haven’t updates the review earlier)
