i may have to go download the keyboard

I just installed this and you can't use it like the pre downloaded emojis on your phone. A little disappointing.

None for my Windows phone...

This app doesn't even work. I get the message that no apps can perform this action when trying to select an emoji to put on a text or email.

It isn't a keyboard. They're pictures that add as attachments - at least on my phone, anyway. Can't even put an 8 and 9 together. It opens a new text message if you try to add more than one picture (they're calling them emojis - but they're pictures). Useless, unfortunately.

I love the Flacco fu manchu. I wonder what it would look like with a Natty Boh eye

Can't find the app on my iPhone. It isn't on my Ravens' app. Grrrr! Looks like it would be fun.

My favorite one is the Elam Whiff.

I agree.  I've already uninstalled it.

I love the 'Idea' of this app. I have a iPhone, and do a lot of texting.

I went into the App store and read the reviews. Some are pretty detailed and a lot are negative. Many people say that these are not Emojis but pictures - and that they can't be strung one after another in text (like if you wanted to do a player's 2 digit number, it has to be on separate lines of your text).

Other people said that to give the keyboard 'full access', which is apparently the only option to use it, you have to give the developers access to track what you type. One reviewer even stated this would be passwords and credit card info. If this is true, it does not seem worth it, for some fun emojis.

I knowing the quality of the raven's organization, and seeing the negative comments here, and on the apple app store, it would seem to me like if we wait a few weeks, that some of this stuff might be resolved. I would bet there are developers working toward full satisfaction right now.

As I said, I love the idea of this app. However, I think I will wait to download, until I see more satisfaction here and on the app store reviews.

for android those "emoji" are really images. I was really looking forward to use them...

Unable to view emojis even though I downloaded app - got new keyboard and tested by giving "full access" but it didn't work. I even shutdown iphone and rebooted. That didn't work. Any suggestions...
