Caution
In order for your friends to even get the text you send, they have to have bought the app too. Don't buy unless everyone you know buys it too.

SMS Smileys
Loaded this on to my IPad 2 and can't get them to load onto my emails on google mail... Rip off? I see them on my outgoing message but the receiver does not see them? Help.
★★★★ @40rax 8/3/2011 v1.0
This is horrible.
Others whom don't have iPhones only see boxes, they cannot see the smiley. What's the point?

Smileys
I purchased this app and followed the instructions. All seems to be working well. In my emails I send I'm able to insert these smileys. The problem is - the people receiving the emails only see blank box shapes where the smileys are suppose to be.
★★★★ Kait3749$ 6/24/2011 v1.0
Waste!
Don't waste your money. It tells you to go to your international keyboards and add a new one that is titled emoji, well there is not one titled emoji so you cannot use the symbols :(
