## What is talking is hard?

If you're like me and sometimes have that thing where you know what you want to say but you don't know how to say it or you're just incredibly earnest and a little bit embarrassed because its corny but you're not not gonna tell someone you love that you love them… these animated stickers are for you. 

Includes classic greetings such as HEY HI HELLO when someone is taking too long to reply and I'M TOO TIRED for when you are too tired. You can even layer stickers on top of other stickers to cover even the most difficult situations, such as when you love someone but also want them to leave you alone.

Other responses include:
• OK BUT WHY
• NO
• GUESS WHAT!?
• CALL ME IN 5 MINUTES PRETEND IT'S AN EMERGENCY
• I LOVE YOU
• WHERE ARE YOU??
• HAHA HAHA HA
• SORRY I CAN'T MAKE IT BUT I FEEL UGLY TODAY
• DELETE THIS

OMG thanks for reading I'M SO SORRY but PLEASE enjoy. :)

### 1/5 — Where is it

*2026-05-14, version 3*

I bought this and can’t find it anywhere on my phone

### 2/5 — Can I write the text in that style?

*2025-08-11, version 3*

My title says it all. $1.99 is a lot of money

### 4/5 — Are you okay

*2024-06-28, version 3*

How about “Are You Okay”? sticker.

### 4/5 — Love BUt..

*2024-03-04*

i love these BUT ... there needs to be more. Not just to include current slang (like Bruh according to my son) but also basic stuff like "welcome" "miss ya" "need coffee" or one everyone relates to "need a hug" i honestly expected way more for a paid app. i'm all about supporting small businesses and artists but a little more effort would go a long way!

### 4/5 — Great but it needs a touch more

*2024-02-24*

I know it’s old school and it’s not the popular/politically correct thing to say maybe anymore, but for those of us who still do, could you please add a “You’re welcome”????  Maybe a “no problem”, “my pleasure”, and/or “of course”??? Common replies to thank you would be awesome I guess is what I’m asking for! Haha. Thanks so much!

### 5/5 — Love this!

*2024-02-15*

I saw a bunch of reviews and I saw one that said it was animated and talking is pretty hard when you have a child so I downloaded this for my child. She uses it all the time and I love this because she mostly says everything that’s on there the words that are on there, she doesn’t want to use she could just type it and also it helps her read because I let her read them and they help her with spelling so she knows what word is which and it’s a good thing to buy because it does have no ads which I give that five and it’s the best, but if I could create one thing on there, it would be you designing your own because on one of the images, it looks like someone write some words on there and it would be more fun if you could create your own words thank you.

### 2/5 — Mediocre

*2024-02-03*

Not enough stickers

### 4/5 — Simply great

*2023-10-18*

I am really liking these stickers. But I would like to suggest being able to add to the list. I wanted to say “what are you talking about “….That’s not on the list… it would be nice to add it and some others.

### 1/5 — neglected?

*2023-09-04*

There isn’t enough stickers for the price. Apple is doing something huge with stickers in the new software update coming this month, actually. I would’ve waited had I known how few stickers come with this pack. I hope I can get a refund. 

I wouldn’t mind it as much if the pack was continuously updated with more stickers but there hasn’t been an update in over a year.

### 1/5 — I don’t like it it needs money

*2023-06-22, version 3*

I need money
