iShrug: Kaomoji and ASCII Art

It's great when a cool, fun app works well and is elegantly integrated into the iPhone, and this is one of those apps! It's a simple to use extension of the iMessage app and lets you add unique emogis that remind me of the old asci text images back in the day. Great support too - got a very quick and super helpful and friendly email reply to help me with a download issue - after you download the app and do the necessary configuration in managing it through iMessage, you simply need to exit/close iMessage fully, and restart it, and whala, ishrug emogis are at your fingertips - you can even copy and paste them outside of the app (ᵔᴥᵔ).

Hilarious. I have a keyboard replacement called “kshurg” that’ll expand to ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and here this iShrug lol (I use “k” for “kaomoji” the Japanese name of this type of “emoji.” I downloaded this and got concerned about the low rating. Wow, first 5 most critical are saying it’s not showing or cannot delete. People, it’s a Message app... 🤦🏻‍♂️ you use it in “message” when you text lol you also delete it from there... don’t give 1 star because you don’t know how it works lol. It’s like getting a manual car and blame the car when you don’t know how to drive a stick. For the developer, I guess your best bet is to make it so clearly known that this is a Message App and include the removing instruction somewhere easily found lol Otherwise thanks for this and I’d recommend making it an actual keyboard perhaps so I can also shrug at other places, like Reddit and Facebook ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It is pretty neat to have. All those who wonder how to delete it. Tap iMessage, tap the app icon, tap the 4 dot menu at the bottom. When you see all of you iMessage apps, hold down on one and they wiggle and delete just like the apps on the home screen.

All those low ratings are from people who were too lazy to take the time to learn how to use the basic functions of IOS. Shame on them.

Great app. You get to it by pressing the application button while in message. Click on the 4 grey dots at the bottom left and you can select ishrug. Works like it says.
