Completely broken for a year!!!!

Update 2: One year of not updating team news feeds. Been waiting for you to fix your sorry excuse of an app and blaming Twitter for changing things. Get real!! You quit on the app, your customers, and its loyal users. I’m gone for good and everyone else should be to.
Update 1: It’s been useless for 43 days now!! Keep telling your lies and blame Twitter all you want. Oh, Twitter made changes to their api process? You must be incompetent to navigate it then. I don’t know of anyone else having issues like you are having. Maybe you’re going through a rebuild of the app? Trying to monetize it? Whatever it is…you can’t blame Twitter anymore after a month and a half. Original review: Forget this app. Developer says Twitter changed their API and developer is working on a fix. It’s been 10 days with no fix or updates. I find it hard to believe developer didn’t know there would be a change to the API. Maybe the developer can’t fix it or something more is going on behind the scenes here. You know everyone else who uses the API hasn’t been broken for 10 days. Either way, I’ll just go back to using Twitter.

Thank you for your feedback. We understand the frustration. There are various aspects of the API, and each company who utilizes it uses it differently. Our desire is to get our feeds back up and running as quickly as possible, once we are provided the proper steps to do so.

Love this app then it just stopped working.

I’ve had this app for years and it’s amazing! The thing is it stopped updating 18 days ago and I can’t get it to work now at all. I e deleted it and redownloaded and nothing. I even sent something to tech and didn’t get a reply. I’d love to know of this is just me or if the app just doesn’t work anymore.

Thank you for your feedback. We understand. Unfortunately, Twitter has recently changed their API, from which we curate our news feeds. We are currently navigating through the new Twitter process to get back in the game as soon as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Emoji and news without the rhetoric

NFL, World Cup emojis and more make this keyboard unlike any other. Getting me team news without Twitter rhetoric is a win too!

Player Emojis and Personalized Highlights!

Every time I share an animated player emoji in a group chat everyone loves them. SportsManias adds emojis every week, which means there are always new emojis to share.

Their personalized fantasy and team feeds also give me all of the tweets, articles, and videos I need on my teams. No need to search across social media. The videos are like having your own personal RedZone Channel.

This app is a must have for fans.

Sportsmanias does not work

This does not work. I have both my keyboard serttings on my iphone set to allow access for this app. And the emojis do not show up in my keyboard. Maybe it’s because i have my ios set to german and/or because i use both an english and german keyboard on my iphone?! But that shouldn’t affect whether this app works or not...frustrating

Keyboard Full Access (update)

App is a blast but... Can’t use without allowing full access to keystroke data. Developers reply to my concern claims clearly that they don’t want and won’t use your personal info.

My recommendation is that they include that remark within the disclaimer. It would put a lot of privacy concerns at ease.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. The access message you refer to is an Apple-generated message that ALL keyboards, including SportsManias, must have in order to appear in the App Store. Any keyboard with an "alpha-numeric" in it, like SportsManias and other well-known keyboards out there, Apple prompts the Allow Access message. We do not want and will never use your personal information.

Beware

I give this is a one rating because anything you type or anything you’ve ever typed in the past this software developer has access to and can see including your credit card information and passwords everything so beware when I read the fine print I deleted Dess

Great app!

The emoji thing doesn't do much for me but being able to get news about my favorite team and players including from social media is indispensable.

Waste of time

This app is a complete waste of time… So for wasting my time I went and head and took the time to make this bad review about your app. Why do we constantly approve of apps going on Apple that do not work? If you are looking into this app, I’m just trying to help you, don’t waste your time. The app does not work at all… Whenever I go to text someone it doesn’t even show up… The idea of the app is fantastic… Unfortunately an idea without action is just an idea not an app.

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear you're disappointed in the app. We can help you find the keyboard on your device -- hint, it's in the same area where the standard Apple emojis are located. It's a simple "switching" keyboards action. If you . have already deleted the app, we understand. But, if you change your mind, simply email us at info@sportsmanias.com.

Looks like it isn’t there when you install the app, but it’s there...somewhere

Thought this app was a joke when I first got it. I did everything the instructions said to do, but I couldn’t find it. A week later, I happen to fat finger a button while texting and the animations showed up. Pretty cool after all, but I need more, cooler animations.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback. Glad you...and your fingers...were able to find the emojis. If you ever have an emoji idea or need assistance with the app/keyboard, feel free to use the SEND FEEDBACK button inside the app or email us at info@sportsmanias.com.

Full access

Why would you need to know previously written information such as credit card numbers and other sensitive information?

Update, working now :No Bitmoji

Just took a bit, mixed in w user error

Loaded and reloaded, allowed full keyboard access, have been waiting and no bits showing up. App is not listed as even being an option within keyboard.
I’ll wait it out a bit more and then delete

Keyboard?

So I have an iPhone 6 and I downloaded this because I’m a big sports guy. But unfortunately this is advertised as a emoji product and there are none. I’d advise either taking the ap down until it is repaired or advertise as being able to select your teams and get only updates about them through messenger. It’s a good idea! But I have to delete it because it’s not what you say it is. What else is not what you say it is? Privacy settings maybe... access to my personal information... you’ll lose peoples interest you should have fixed this problem

Thanks for your feedback. We're sorry to hear you are disappointed in the emoji keyboard. We can assist you in finding the keyboard in your device - it's in the same location as the standard Apple emojis - but the review system is not set up to do so. Please use the SEND FEEDBACK button inside the app or send an email to us at info@sportsmanias.com with the request and we'll help you out. NOTE: The access message you refer to is generated by Apple. All third-party keyboards, with the alpha-numeric, must have this message in order to appear in the App Store. We do not want and will never use your personal information.

It doesn’t work

I loaded it and deleted and loaded it again it doesn’t work for my IPhone X

Full access? (Updated)

Why do I need to give full access to Sportsmanias in order to use their emoji keyboard? Hard pass

Update:
Was told by developer that they do not want or use our data and that it is a boiler plate message auto generated by Apple. I don’t ever recall seeing that before, but it’s been a while since I’ve downloaded a third party keyboard. There ya go

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback. “Allow Full Access” is a standard warning message from Apple that ALL third-party keyboards, including SportsManias, must have. It is an Apple-generated message. We do not want and will NEVER use your personal information.

Not working

I got the app today and was excited to use it but when I got on the app, it told me to enable the keyboard and allow full access and so I did. But now it still tells me to follow those steps when I already did, I have tried closing the app countless times to see if it will work but it hasn’t, what do I do?

Working properly

It does not work properly it does not let you see the little thing and send them

Love the texting but the App itself isn’t 100%

I got this app for both the texting and the App usage. But when I click on certain links they don’t even show up. Also the adds that pop up from the bottom when I’m trying to read freeze the app when I try to click out of it. Please fix this if you guys can. Thank you.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear you’re having difficulties with the emoji keyboard. That is something we can definitely help you out with, but the review system isn’t set up for the troubleshooting process. Please email us these specific details and any others you can think of that could assist us, to info@sportsmanias.com.

Not All Players Not All Teams!

This is misleading so you can download the app! It does. Not have all the teams nor countries it claims it’s a waste of space and just click bait! They have Iran and Egypt but none of the other countries ... seriously ... yes it tricked me into downloading and deleted! I can make a more inclusive app then this! Don’t claim on instagram to have all World Cup countries and have half!
