Kaomoji -- Japanese Emoticons

I have only used this app for the past couple of days, and I can DEFINITELY say it is absolutely perfect so far. There are not that many ads, just when you first open the app and/or when you open a different menu. It also is very easy to navigate. You can scroll and find the emoticons you want, or you could look up a keyword, like “excited” and find one that way. There is also a VERY HELPFUL favorites menu, which can allow you to very easily access the ones you like and the ones you use the most without having to scroll or search for it. So far this is the best emoticon app I found that is actually functional. I definitely recommend using it rather than another app. ≧ω≦

This app serves a simple purpose and does a great job at fulfilling that job, especially on your phone. Even with the Japanese - Romaji keyboard installed on your phone, this app adds a lot of value if you prefer using Kaomoji over emojis. I even gifted this app to my ex-boyfriend years ago so he could also use Kaomoji easily. I’ve had this app for many, many years now and have definitely gotten my 99¢ worth, however now I’m questioning that with the addition of ads. If I’m opening this app, it’s because I’m in the middle of typing a message and want to quickly search for and add a Kaomoji. Now when I open it, there’s a timed ad waiting for me every time I open the app that I paid 99¢ for out of the sheer convenience of not having to use google or open a bookmarked webpage that has far more Kaomoji options than this app does. Unfortunately, this has bumped what would be an easy 5 stars for a very plain and simple app that one pays for out of convenience to 3 stars as this app is now extremely plain and simple PAID APP with ads. If it was free, I wholeheartedly understand the use of ads and would have absolutely no issue with it, even if it is a plain and simple app the developers still put time into it and deserve to be paid, however this app hasn’t changed in the YEARS that I’ve used it in any noticeable way other than the seemingly very recent addition of advertisements upon opening.

It seems that even though I got it five minutes ago I’m already in love with this, I’m so in love with this game that I even sent it to my best friend! I’ve been trying to make some cute faces but it’s hard with normal letters and numbers :( but now I’m able to make so many cute faces! ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ I’m sure that when I’m texting a boy that I can send these faces and he’s going to ask how I did it. I’m just gonna tell him magic ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) this is the best thing I’ve downloaded on my phone. Other than gacha club but that’s another time. ᕙ(˵◕ω◕˵✿)つ thanks for reading, bye!!!
