Please fix! *2026-04-28, version 2.18* Hi! This is a great app and i use it all the time! I also have VNE and they are my most used sticker pack. But there’s one thing that’s frustrating. for some reason they don’t appear in the sticker bar, so when i hold a message to react with a sticker, i can only use the ones that are in my recents. I also have some ideas for this app though that i would use all the time such as a Cry, Boohoo, Sorry?, Oi!, and Excuse Me reactions. All of these would be so funny and i would use them a lot, definetly the Sorry? and Oi! ones. Adding these would be amazing and thank you for all your hard work!!!! ### 2/5 — Stickers do not stick *2026-02-10, version 2.18* Why don’t they stick to message they disappear. I’m not happy ### 2/5 — They are just stickers. *2026-01-05, version 2.18* These “reactions” are just stickers. They are nothing like the Apple reactions, and I know, you aren’t Apple. But at least put in the caption that they are stickers. They cover up the messages I put. Anyways, I’m still going to use it, because I already paid for this. ### 2/5 — Can’t find the app *2025-08-22, version 2.18* This is so cool but I can’t access it from my imessage. I have to go to the sticker store and open it from there, too time consuming. Such a bummer, I wish there were a work around. ### 2/5 — Great but *2025-07-25, version 2.18* It’s great but I can’t add it as a sticker reply to a message so I have to send it as a regular message which looks awkward other than that it’s great. Edit: it seems as if it's abandonware ### 2/5 — Not a reaction *2025-05-06, version 2.18* I purchased it under the impression I could use this as a reaction but can’t only as a text response useless not what’s advertised ### 2/5 — DON’T GET *2025-05-02, version 2.18* OK I NEVER USE THIS, IT DOESN’T WORK. ALSO, NOW YOU CAN USE EMOJIS FOR REACTIONS. YOU NEVER GET A NEW REACTION ETHEIR. THIS APP IS A BUMMER. ### 4/5 — Needs to be stickers now *2025-04-10, version 2.18* Your emojis function as stickers. If the tap backs were, it would be easier to access and apply with newest changes to stickers. Sup with that? ### 4/5 — 4 *2025-03-30, version 2.18* Would do a 5 of you didn't have tonswype up to use them ### 4/5 — Doesn’t Work *2025-03-29, version 2.18* Doesn’t let you actually add them to text reactions. Just a separate text/its own sticker. Wouldn’t have spent my money on this if it wasn’t for the false advertising. ### 3/5 — Change size *2025-03-22, version 2.18* Good fun but very small for recipients to read unless only one at a time is sent..any chances of a size increase? ### 3/5 — Great but *2025-02-15, version 2.18* It’s great but I can’t add it as a sticker reply to a message so I have to send it as a regular message which looks awkward other than that it’s great. ### 4/5 — PLEASE UPDATE!! No longer works ☹️ *2025-01-27, version 2.18* These were my favorite stickers to use but they no longer work with the new iOS update 😢. Developer - please make these work again! 🙏 ### 3/5 — can't add it to stickers *2025-01-17, version 2.18* i was hoping it would be the same as the very unnecessary emoji set ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Where’d it go?? *2026-01-21, version 2.18* Disappeared after purchase. Can’t find it anywhere. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with iOS 18 *2025-10-28, version 2.18* Not buying sticker packs anymore. They update iOS and they disappear or stop working ### 1/5 — Does not work on iOS 26 *2025-10-26, version 2.18* Does not work on ios 26 ### 1/5 — Misleading; don’t waste your money *2025-05-30, version 2.18* Does not work as marketed, does not work as a reaction. ### 1/5 — Not working on iMessage *2025-02-17, version 2.18* Hey how come Very Necessary Reactions doesn’t work intuitively integrated with iMessage anymore? Is there any tweaks you need to make? Love your apps man I’ve had hundreds of friends buy your Very Necessary Emojis package. You’re the best for giving us the gift of expressing ourselves effortlessly 🥲🫶🏻 ### 1/5 — Can’t use this app *2024-12-13, version 2.18* Don’t spend the money. Not sure what the bots are saying, but this app does not open directly into iMessage like the VNE emoji app does. Only way I can access the app is by going to VNE, selecting the developer, then select VNR, and then click “open”. Without the convenience it kind of eliminates the whole point. ### 1/5 — Unusable *2024-12-09, version 2.18* Downloaded it but I’m only able to open on the App Store ### 1/5 — does not show up in my App menu *2024-11-12, version 2.18* I love the app, but I have to open it from the App Store as the app icon does not show up anywhere on my phone or in my settings. I restarted my phone three times. ### 1/5 — Why did you take VNR out of the stickers category? *2024-10-26, version 2.18* Having very necessary reactions in the stickers category made it super convenient to hold your finger on any iMessage and tap “add sticker”. Now you can’t do that because it’s outside of the sticker category? Why? Not a fan of this change. These are bubbles that are supposed to be reactions yet you can’t select them as reactions. ### 1/5 — Disappeared, unable to use what I purchased *2024-08-13, version 2.18* Has been missing from my stickers app, cannot use for whatever reason ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Request to add “Yo!” & “hey” *2025-12-18, version 2.18* Request to add “Yo!” & “hey” ### 5/5 — Great! I have a suggestion though *2025-09-24, version 2.18* Add a sybau one ### 5/5 — Love this! *2025-09-03, version 2.18* I love the options! They literally have something for everything! But can you add “Period!” To the line up?! Thanks!! ### 5/5 — request: SYBAU reaction 😂 *2025-08-31, version 2.18* love this app. is it done being developed and added to? i would love to request a SYBAU reaction ### 5/5 — Can we get a SYBAU REACTION *2025-07-03, version 2.18* Pleaseeeeee ### 5/5 — Takes iMessage up a notch! *2025-04-26, version 2.18* Love using these and the sister app “Very Necessary Emojis”! Would love to see “IJBOL” to be able to start using that one ironically. ### 5/5 — Necessary *2025-03-18, version 2.18* This is a most necessary app to be installed on any iOS device. It would be even better with an international circle game hand gesture (upside down OK hand). This could be used, for example, to signal to my friend that I will punch them in the arm next time I see them for their dumb message. Or that my previous comment was to lure them into hilarity, which they are now experiencing. ### 5/5 — New reactions *2025-03-16, version 2.18* WE HAVENT HAS ONE IN A WHILE WE NEED WOMP WOMP AND DID I ASK ### 5/5 — Awesome! Request *2024-12-22, version 2.18* Love these. Can you make one that says “lap”? ### 5/5 — Suggestion *2024-11-23, version 2.18* Can you make one that says “Jail” Thank you 10/10 app love --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
