### 5/5 — So awesome!

*2026-01-19*

This app was exactly what I was looking for! I had been trying to find an app that would show up easily for use in apps like keynote. So worth 3$ I paid! I love it! I’ll just have to remember to save the sticker images in my files in case something happens as I cloud enabled but that doesn’t really bug me. GREAT JOB!

A suggestion would be having apples, sticker editing feature be compatible with the stickers. Or adding your own sparkly edits, like Apple has. And stuff like that.


The suggest features and the report bugs keeps saying device not configured to send emails.

Also a few bugs I noticed.

Sharing packs appears to be broken. It pulls up sharing to files but then when I hit save it never saves. The suggest features and the report bugs keeps saying device not configured to send emails.
And when saving the pack title never shows up on the file. Some ways I found to save files is to save to a different file app. For some reason saving to somthimg like Microsoft one drive works but when trying to save to the native iOS files app it never saves the file.

### 2/5 — Lost ALL my stickers with new phone

*2025-11-07, version 1.6.1*

This was a fun app to play with and at first I liked it and made probably 75-100 stickers. Unfortunately, it DOES NOT BACK UP TO ICLOUD! So, if you ever have a broken phone and have to restore everything, and/pr (like me) you need to rebuild your phone because garbage system settings build up in iOS, you will lose everything single sticker you have created. Bonkers. And unlike the native iOS sticker app, stickers you make on one device are NOT available on any other device! 

So, not backed up and stickers are ONLY available on the device you create them upon. This is a halfway thought through program- all developer had to do was implementing syncing with iCloud, the most basic feature you need to implement to make this more than a complete waste. Well, I paid for this and have lost ALL my stickers, guess it’s wasted money and a whole lot of time. DELETE.

### 4/5 — I use it all the time. Just one suggestion

*2025-10-06*

I would really love to be able to create animated stickers. It would be great if I could upload animated gifs into Sticker Drop, but I don't know if that is possible to do as a developer. If it is possible, I think it would give this application to corner on the market, because so far I have not found any easy way to do that, other than just using live photos, which is not what I am looking for.

### 5/5 — I love this so much!

*2025-06-15*

Please keep updating this! I have made so many stickers and they work beautifully. I just wish this was coordinated with my iPad / iPhone better. But the good thing is that it's easy to airdrop the folders to my devices. Thanks for being my favorite app.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for this feedback. It's comments and feedback like this that motivate me to do more. Thanks, Aaron

### 5/5 — Such a great app!!

*2025-05-23, version 1.6.1*

I’d rate this higher if I could. Higher recommend this app!! I love making selfie stickers!!!!!

### 5/5 — Fantastic! Will gladly buy! NO SUBSCRIPTION, perfect!

*2025-04-24*

So refreshing to find this fabulous app! Love that I can just BUY it, no nasty subscriptions. Would gladly pay the $.99 again for occasional major updates too. I hope the dev keeps making purchasable apps of all kinds!

Ps. I used Pixelmator app to do intensive editing like complex background removal and edge editing, saved PNG into Photos app, then loaded the image into Sticker Drop app to finalize the sticker and make packs that can be used and shared. Love it.

### 1/5 — App no longer appears in iMessage apps

*2024-12-05, version 1.6.1*

Will the app be updated to work with the new iMessage apps format? :(

### 1/5 — Doesn't remove background well

*2024-09-12*

Well. I was super disappointed there is no was to correct  when the app makes a mistake with background removal. Which it does a lot. Definitely a  miss. Don't buy. Wasted my money here
