### 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.

### 3/5 — Needs sync/backup, otherwise pretty cool

*2024-01-25*

This is a neat little app, worth supporting. But one glaring problem is that all the stickers you create are locked to the device you build them on. In other words, I created a bunch of stickers on my iPhone, but there is no sync option so that I can access them on my iPad. This greatly limits the function, having to find my phone if I ever want to reply to a message with a sticker when I’m busy with my iPad.

The interface is “okay” but it defaults to a specific category, and it’s a lot of work to label and identify the stickers, that could be streamlined. It has the feel of needing better memory management. 

Its fun as it is, but has so much more potential for usability.

**Developer response:** Thank you for this amazing feedback. I'd love to troubleshoot why your app is crashing. Can you reach out to me, support@bronron.com

The other feedback about UX is amazing I'll look into making it easier to use.

### 4/5 — Potential to Inprove

*2023-09-29*

It’s a good app. Me and my wife loved using it all the time. Unfortunately (or not) Apple introduced some sticker-making capabilities in the most recent update which could potentially kill this app. I hope it doesn’t happen. I hope the developer sees this as an opportunity to keep updating it and add more features. It already offers some customization than the apple function is capable of. I particularly LOVE the ability to snap a photo right there in a message and send as a sticker—I think this functionality would make me choose this over Apple already, but the caveat is the terrible quality of the photo if you decide to remove the background. SO… there’s room for improvement. Developer did a great little app and I just hope he doesn’t leave this abandoned but sees it as an opportunity to make it better.

### 5/5 — Unglaublich gut und hilfreich

*2023-09-18*

So geil

### 5/5 — I love this so much!

*2023-06-29*

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 — Delightful app

*2023-06-29*

Being able to turn photos of my son into stickers by just dragging him out of photos and into the app is so simple. They all just pop and are amusing to drop into chats with my wife. I have recommended this this app to so many people because it’s just so darn fun!

### 5/5 — Everyone I know I put on to this

*2023-06-23, version 1.6.0*

Literally have convinced dozens of people to download this app, lol!

Love it!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2023-06-23, version 1.6.0*

I enjoy making stickers from my photos. Developer is very responsive and continues to make the ad better.

### 5/5 — Best $1 I’ve ever spent

*2023-06-09, version 1.5.0*

That’s all i’ve got to say.

### 4/5 — Is it possible to add sticker packs on FaceTime calls?

*2023-06-09*

I love this app, it has a great ease of use for sticker making. I would really love to see my sticker pack in my sticker collection on FaceTime; is there a way to add kit working the app or could you add this feature to this app? This is an awesome app, well worth the purchase!

### 3/5 — Export to Telegram not working

*2023-05-29*

Unfortunately the Export to Telegram button does not do anything for me. The app also seems to crash randomly.

### 5/5 — Exactly what it says it does, no ads, no dumb subscriptions

*2023-05-13*

This is quite easily the best app I’ve ever purchased. It does exactly what it says it does, it works intuitively, and it doesn’t make you subscribe in order to continue using it. 

I have made untold numbers of stickers of my dog, and I love that I can send the sticker packs to other people. This is really the coolest thing since sliced bread.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for your feedback, it's comments like these that help motivate me to make the app better :)

### 4/5 — Great, needs iCloud sync and easier labeling

*2023-05-08*

This is a fun app, and well priced. I have made a bunch of stickers to play with and they can be interesting. 

I’d like to see iCloud backup and sync, to be able to share with my iPad and be sure that my hard work isn’t lost. 

I’d also like to see the huge ⚠️ emoji reduced or eliminated from the ones without a description. In earlier versions of the program they were just annoying, but in the recent build they became nearly as large as the sticker! I can’t always see if I’m sending the right one. Perhaps developer can give a “list” view so I can scroll down and assign names to each one. Names are not that important to me, so it’s frustrating to see nothing but a large ⚠️ instead of the sticker.

**Developer response:** Thank you for this amazing feedback. I'd love to troubleshoot why your app is crashing. Can you reach out to me, support@bronron.com

The other feedback about UX is amazing I'll look into making it easier to use.

### 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

### 1/5 — Keeps closing

*2023-06-07, version 1.5.0*

I was able to make 1 sticker then the program kept closing every time I tried to put a description on the sticker. I sent an email and no one has gotten beach with me yet. Disappointing!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with WhatsApp

*2022-09-30, version 1.0.1*

Doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Limited

*2022-09-18, version 1.0.1*

Don’t work with WhatsApp, works only with iMessage

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with WhatsApp

*2022-09-16*

Doesn’t work with WhatsApp or any other message app. Only iMessages.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for this feedback. WhatsApp support was added back in version 1.1 of Sticker Drop, here are the steps to use it.

1. Open Sticker Drop.
2. Select your Sticker Pack.
3. Tap the 3 dots next to the Sticker Pack name.
4. Tap "Add to WhatsApp" from the menu shown.

If you get stuck, send me an email support@bronron.com and I can troubleshoot it with you.

Thanks,
Aaron

### 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.

### 2/5 — Easy to lose stickers! Needs sync/backup, otherwise pretty cool

*2024-06-11*

Just noticed when iOS is set to “automatically offload apps” when needed for storage, you lose ALL YOUR STICKERS! Definitely need a way to backup and sync. Original review: This is a neat little app, worth supporting. But one glaring problem is that all the stickers you create are locked to the device you build them on. In other words, I created a bunch of stickers on my iPhone, but there is no sync option so that I can access them on my iPad. This greatly limits the function, having to find my phone if I ever want to reply to a message with a sticker when I’m busy with my iPad.

### 2/5 — Great app but

*2023-09-25, version 1.6.1*

When I first bought and downloading this app, it was great and I couldn't stop using it. The border and remove background features were great and it was everything I wanted. But, now with the new iOS update anyone can do this without spending a dollar with this app. Don't download this app now because apple ruined it

### 2/5 — Not working, right

*2023-05-12, version 1.5.0*

Can you tell me if I actually bought this app because I do believe I did but it’s not working every one of my pictures has a green checkmark on it I don’t know what that means

### 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.

### 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.

### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

*2024-08-20*

Great app . Other then the one on the iPhone itself that is built in .

### 5/5 — StickerDrop

*2024-05-23*

Great app w a lot of choices . Would be nice to see the suggestions I made come to fruition ;-) . One of the best sticker apps I’ve come across other then the one apple has built in that works w I message . But this one is def second to that .

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2024-04-14, version 1.6.1*

Just wish they would sync across devices.

### 5/5 — Delightful app

*2023-09-21*

Being able to turn photos of my son into stickers by just dragging him out of photos and into the app is so simple. They all just pop and are amusing to drop into chats with my wife. I have recommended this this app to so many people because it’s just so darn fun!

Update: iOS 17 just dropped with native sticker support but my first impressions are that Sticker Drop is still the best way to make stickers. Minus the effects Apple added (which I’m not sure I’ll use much), Sticker Drop provides better customization and the ability to share sticker packs! I mentioned it in my initial review, but it brings me so much joy when I snap a photo of my kids and immediately think ‘this will make an awesome sticker!’ and I immediately drag them into Sticker Drop. Love it! Even with iOS 17 I plan to continue to use it over the built in stuff.
