Each player secretly draws parts of an imagined creature, one turn at a time, until all four sections are complete: the hat, face, torso, and legs+feet. The player gets to see what the other player has drawn only after the whole monster is completed. The newly created StickyMonster is then revealed to both players, and turned into an iMessage Sticker to laugh at and share with friends! In the home screen app, you can see all the wacky stickers you and your friends have made, AND view the funniest/strangest StickyMonsters from around the world in the Gallery tab. • Draw crazy looking creatures with your friends • Get creative with color • Be rewarded with your very own sticker…that YOU made! • Place your stickers in your conversations and laugh • Share it to all your favorite social networks • Submit to the Gallery and possibly be promoted to the Gallery tab in the app *** Over 150,000 StickyMonsters made and shared! ## Key features - Collaborative creature drawing - Turn-based gameplay - Create custom iMessage Stickers - Share creations with friends - Global Gallery of monsters - Creative drawing tools ## What do users think of StickyMonster?

I have it enabled but the app doesn’t recognize it. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but that didint work. I think there is a bug in the app when I checks if I have iCloud or something ### 3/5 — Fix Bug Please *2025-01-15, version 1.4.2* It's so fun but when the I'm not able to send it--which is more often than not, it makes me want to give up using it at all. So much work is put into it for no result. Will you please fix this bug? ### 5/5 — Great fun game. *2022-10-18, version 1.4.2* Love this! ### 1/5 — Suddenly broken *2022-08-18, version 1.4.2* I have to update my 5 star review to 1 star for the current version. After spending days sending back and forth a very detailed sticky monster, it will not send the final drawing no matter what. I’ve restarted iMessage, restarted the power, used a different device, it simply won’t send. The disappointment is palpable. Please remedy this. PLEASE! ### 4/5 — Still lovin it but hate when it freezes *2022-08-03, version 1.4.2* Hey Sticky Monsters out there! My friend and I still love using this app, but it gets super frustrating when it freezes up in a way that does not let you submit your drawing. If you decide to put out an update or make a similar app, please consider debugging that “can’t submit” bug. Much love and stickiness, -Stick Toons ### 3/5 — H e l p *2022-05-11, version 1.4.2* It seems like a fun game. But after I get done drawing it won’t load. Or send. At all. Whatsoever. And my internet is fine, and my data is also just fine. I’ve also I downloaded and redownloaded numerous times and waited hours and minutes. It’s annoying :/ ### 1/5 — Cannot connect to IMessage *2021-12-30, version 1.4.2* Not sure how I’m supposed to play when the app doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work *2021-11-06, version 1.4.2* This used to work great, but now whenever I try to send it just loads forever. Also, whenever I try to delete any of the stickers it doesn’t let me. I will give this app 5 stars when these problems are fixed. It has no been over 6 months since I first wrote this review. Nothing has changed at all, I even tried deleting and reinstalling and nothing worked. Please fix this. ### 5/5 — my favorite *2020-10-13, version 1.4.2* my favorite imessage app! it’s a shame it doesn’t usually show on the front page on imessage page and can be a bit hard to find because it really is one of the best imessage games imo ### 4/5 — can u update *2020-10-01, version 1.4.2* App not working. It keeps asking for me to turn on icloud drive, when i already have it turned on. ## Frequently asked questions about StickyMonster ### How does StickyMonster gameplay work?
