Otherwise WAS an excellent app. ### 4/5 — Good but needs to be updated to IOS 15 *2021-10-17, version 2* Please update to IOS 15 I love the app but recently my phone updated and your app is no longer functional on my phone🥺 ### 3/5 — Improvements needed *2020-10-01, version 2* When you click on a symbol to find out it’s name, a pop up flawed up and disappears before you can read it. I was gonna pay for the full version but this stopped me, if I can’t read what the Sybil is called then it’s pointless paying ### 3/5 — Great idea really poor execution *2019-11-30, version 2* Character popup with code point number and hex code is too quick to read and no setting to change it. I can buy the ad free version as the link does not work in my region. ### 5/5 — Great *2015-09-17, version 2* 👌😘 ### 5/5 — AWESOME. *2015-08-03, version 2* This app is the best thing that ever happened to me. It'l help you find that one particular character that no one uses and that you have never seen, but imagined. It contains all the characters from every language and writing system EVER. Even the shawian alphabet. You know why? BECAUSE IT'S THE E N T I R E U N I C O D E. ### 3/5 — OK *2015-04-27, version 2* Not bad but the number of usable items for what I'd presume is your primary audience is severely limited by your desire to reach however many you are targeting. I'd like to see more applicable to the industrialized nations of North America and Europe. Thanks. ### 4/5 — Works, but prepare to search *2015-01-06, version 2* Needed symbol for micro gram and found it. You click what you want and a notice appears (and disappears within a second) saying it was copied. Return to your document and paste where desired... done. There are many symbols all arraigned in the Windows Character Map format, but prepare to do some serious manual searching. Unlike The windows PC version I also didn't see a way to string characters together before copying. If I figure this out, it is added with a future update, or the search becomes easier, I will update my review. Borderline 3 stars (met expectations), but I bumped it to a 4 (slightly exceeds expectations) due to it working quickly and without being bogged down by ads. ### 2/5 — C. Mathews *2014-10-03, version 2* I downloaded this app to copy sub- and superscript numbers, but the superscript values are only 0, and 4-9. 1-3 need to be options. ### 5/5 — Perfect. Nice and simple. *2014-09-14, version 2* Brilliant app, just what I was looking for! ### 5/5 — Great app *2014-08-30, version 2* Helps you edit your insta bio very easily. 👌 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bruh *2024-03-07, version 2* Seems that its not functioning. ### 1/5 — Used to be great! *2022-05-20, version 2* No longer functional in iOS. Developer seems to have abandoned it. ### 1/5 — Great, but.. *2021-11-01, version 2* Brilliant app, I’ve used it for years but it hasn’t been updated for ages and is no longer compatible with my version of iOS (iOS 14.8). I’m sad about it because the app no longer works at all. Won’t even open. ### 1/5 — UPDATE!! *2021-06-10, version 2* Please update, I cannot use this app, and I use it quite frequently. ### 1/5 — Needs update *2021-05-15, version 2* Useless until updated to works with latest ios. ### 1/5 — No Settings Visible & App Wants to Be on Top of Everything. *2018-02-25, version 2* I need the Latin letters but this app is practically worthless ### 1/5 — Horrible *2015-07-19, version 2* Every 3-5 seconds the app freezes and there is constant lagging. I do NOT recommend buying! ### 1/5 — 🚽 💩 It's crap *2015-03-24, version 2* Waist of time Although it does have the character map, the App redirects every 20 seconds by first opening the developer's web site in Safari, after which it immediately opens the App Store page of its pay version of this app. Closing the App Store and Safari doesn't help, as it just reopens them, switching screens and taking you along for the ride. ### 1/5 — This app is pure crApp! *2014-10-19, version 2* If you just love constant lagging and freezing, then this crApp is for you. I'm flushing it right now! ### 1/5 — Dont get *2014-08-08, version 2* Terreble ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — IPadOS *2022-12-19, version 2* Update to an IPadOS please ### 5/5 — A 5 ⭐ sendoff before Apple castration *2021-05-14, version 2* iOS 14.4.2 says "This app won't work in future versions of iOS". Beware 14.5 ### 5/5 — Please update I beg of you *2021-04-15, version 2* . ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-02-22, version 2* This is so useful but appears not to be updated any longer, I am getting a notification that it can't be used with further versions of ios unless it is updated :( ### 5/5 — BETTER TYAN ALL I HAVE TRIED *2020-02-25, version 2* I’m so glad that this works in roblox I love it there’s no ads actually and it actually copies for u omg ### 5/5 — Just works™ *2018-08-22* A great replacement for the unicode keyboard support which is inexplicably missing on iPhone. My only issue with the app is that the paid version is not available in the NZ app store, so I'm unable to buy it. ### 5/5 — Good but... *2018-08-09, version 2* you need to fix the constant app freezing while browsing characters in iOS 11.4 ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2016-12-22, version 2* Simple and easy to use, just what I was looking for. :) ### 5/5 — Mr *2016-12-04, version 2* Everybody who creates free application where one can chose character by typing Unicode code point number deserves five stars. ### 5/5 — AMAZING!!! *2016-10-14, version 2* It's free, no ads, no need to get an ad free version, best of all EVERY character from the known universe is listed! I've got this app that blocks all emojis but if I copy and paste from this app, I can sneak them in...way cool! (as a bonus...it has a really small file size without hurting usability) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
