### 5/5 — Great free, better with a one-time fee

*2026-07-03*

I use this app every single day. Love, love, love. And I love the ability to choose favorite & most used emoticons.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind words! I’m thrilled Emoticon has become part of your daily routine. I’m glad the favorites feature is useful, and I really appreciate your support!

### 5/5 — App is awesome BUT….

*2025-11-28*

All I am gonna say is you should 100% make a font keyboard app. All the ones available are weekly/yearly payment and so confusing. Thank you so much.

**Developer response:** Thank you! A font keyboard is a great idea, and I appreciate the suggestion. I’ll keep it in mind as I continue improving Emoticon.

### 5/5 — Backspace button

*2024-08-07*

I love how theres a backspace button in this keyboard to delete an emoticon you placed, instead of switching to the apple keyboard to delete then back to the emoticon keyboard. This is the only emoticon keyboard with this feature

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! I’m especially happy the built-in backspace makes the keyboard easier to use. I designed it to save you from constantly switching keyboards.
