Otherwise it’s a great array of fonts, languages, and symbols. ### 4/5 — Not that bad *2023-04-27, version 1.9.2* I like the app but I don’t know how to use the app. ### 5/5 — Useful App *2022-10-06, version 1.9.0* This App as is quite useful. If I might make a recommendation of an italicized alphabet for English; it would make this App perfect! I would be willing to pay for such an addition. JECIII ### 5/5 — Literally love it *2022-06-22, version 1.9.0* I love it & find it extremely funny that ALL photos say that full access is disabled. ### 4/5 — Awesome! but a little complicated.. *2022-06-16, version 1.9.0* I love this app! theres so many symbols and i love them all! the only thing I wish the add had was categories, like from letters to symbols. something like that because all the languages symbols intimidates me. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2022-03-11, version 1.9.0* This is the best app ever! I love it so much! ### 5/5 — The art of language *2022-03-05, version 1.9.0* The art of communication and the passing down of history is very nice. ### 2/5 — Can’t find the zodiac symbols *2022-02-27, version 1.9.0* Uh I like it but it’s so many and there no section that says zodiac signs or for astrology symbols to make it clear for people to find . I also still haven’t found those symbols ! ### 5/5 — ⥥ *2022-01-27, version 1.8.6* Love it ### 5/5 — Write A Symbol *2022-01-12, version 1.8.6* ABCSS ### 4/5 — Excellent selection, but why does iOS keep removing it from my settings? *2021-12-24, version 1.8.6* The selection of symbols with this app is excellent, by far the most comprehensive collection I have ever seen!! The only issue is, iOS keeps removing the ability to use this keyboard every 24 hours or so, forcing me to have to track through Apple’s unintuitive settings and re-enable Symbols keyboard. iOS needs to leave the logic flow alone and stop changing these hidden things in every update because it makes it seem like the app developers fault when it doesn’t work, when it’s actually Apple playing with people. Yikes! ### 5/5 — Where are the flowers? *2021-09-12, version 1.8.6* Does anyone know where the flowers are? ### 4/5 — Cool *2021-07-13, version 1.8.6* 👍🏿 ### 5/5 — great *2021-05-17, version 1.8.4* JEUEHEHEHHEUSJEHEUEJHURJE NSJSJSJDKKDJDJDJJDKDJDJDJDJDJJDJFJDJDJFJFJJFJFUEIJSJSOQLWKDJSOLSKDKDODODLSKJEIEKNDJEKDMHDUEUSJENEHEKKEJEHEJEJEHHEJEJEJEJKDJDJJEDJJDJDJDJDJEJEJKSKSKSNDNDJDJDJDKDKKDMDDJJDJDKKDJDJRJEIWOSPKXNDNNDNXSYHYSUEUYOU EHEUUEJEUEUJEIWKEUEUJEJEUEIEJEIKEJEIEIEJEUEIEK ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — SCAM! *2025-07-02, version 1.10.0* App now just takes you to ads ### 1/5 — Loads ads *2025-03-01, version 1.9.8* The point of this app is to show symbols. It is only showing an ad. ### 1/5 — Help *2024-04-27, version 1.9.2* Doesn’t work, i need help. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore *2022-07-18, version 1.9.0* Looks like it got taken over by adware… ### 1/5 — Don’t get this app! *2021-07-15, version 1.8.6* So when I first got on the app a pop up showed up on my screen and it said that I got free money, click here to claim it now, so I deleted it as fast as I could ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2021-02-06, version 1.7.4* It leaked my data! I had to change my passwords and everything important !!! Don’t download this dumb stupid app ### 1/5 — Beware *2020-10-21, version 1.6.4* Opened up the app and turns out it shows me some game. Malware? Who knows. But avoid this. ### 1/5 — ƁĄD ĄⲣⲢ *2020-05-14, version 1.5.6* It’s quite bad we have to type the whole thing out copy anddddddd then send ƁĄD ĄⲣⲢ ### 1/5 — reliable and useful *2020-01-31, version 1.5.6* The Symbol app seems reliable and useful. Each time the app is launched it displays an ad, which must be acknowledged before the app allows you to continue. This time the app required me to respond to a request for a review before allowing me to continue. Therefore 1 star. ### 1/5 — Opens FaceBook Ad!!! *2020-01-30, version 1.5.6* This app opens a full page clickable ad that connects you and it to your Facebook account. Absolutely a security risk. ¡¡BEWARE - SCAM!! Whoever runs the store here is responsible for your security since it is a closed system, so they are aware and responsible for this hijacker’s hacking app. Wish I’d known before my information was stolen. I can’t mitigate that now, but you’ve been warned.... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome - jam packed and organized with more symbols than any other apo FREE *2026-04-01, version 1.10.0* NO ADS! TOTALLY FREE!! This app is amazing ....esp if you love creating your own kaomojis and banners etc out of symbols there are sooooo many i love looking through them all and creating cool text banners. it is really refreshing to get this all for free too. i love it. all the other symbols keyboards are bloated and take up so much space are buggy and filled with ads and all if the best stuff is hidden behind a paywall. this app is simple and clean and free. the only teeny thing was that it wasnt entirely apparent at first that there are delete, space and new line buttons also on the keyboard!! yasss! at first i kept switching back to the native keyboard to do so until i realized i didnt have to. A++++ couldnt be happier ⸝⸝> ̫ <⸝⸝ ### 5/5 — Great *2025-05-03, version 1.10.0* Amazing source for uncommon fonts and common ones. It always works. ### 5/5 — Good *2025-04-22, version 1.9.8* This app is pretty good tbh don’t really like all the work when you need to copy and paste things but other than that I like it ### 5/5 — ↻◇÷ʶʶ7 *2024-10-30, version 1.9.2* 73◇ʶ−◇ʶ ### 5/5 — 10/19 *2024-05-17, version 1.9.2* I was looking for an app with the exact features that Symbol has and more. I cannot be more satisfied with this app, especially being free to use, people ask me all the time how I get these unique characters and I’ve shared it with so many friends and family also really enjoy it! I hope that the app continues to grow and expand and maybe get some new additions in the future but for the time being great totally recommend it to everyone!!! ### 5/5 — I love this game 💖 *2024-03-30, version 1.9.2* Hi I love the game it’s so fun but I can’t send the stuff but it’s so fun ### 5/5 — Love it *2023-11-23, version 1.9.2* It’s cool simple to set up (to me) so yea good overall ### 5/5 — Bella aplicación *2023-05-30, version 1.9.2* Me encanta 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 ### 5/5 — Good *2023-04-21, version 1.9.2* Nice ### 5/5 — Completa *2022-11-03, version 1.9.0* Mucho para escoger 😅 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
