User Reviews

Users praise Very Necessary Reactions! for its variety and usefulness, and for pairing with Very Necessary Emojis. However, persistent problems include weak iMessage integration, stickers disappearing after purchases or OS updates, and mismatched expectations about using stickers as direct reactions. Some reviewers also report readability problems and a sense that the app is no longer actively maintained.
Pros
  • Frequent, high-usage app with stickers users reach for often
  • Wide variety of reactions/options, covering many moods and phrases
  • Pairs well with the sister app Very Necessary Emojis, offering a broad set of expressions
  • Labeled as a 'must-have' or 'most necessary' iOS accessory for expressing oneself
Cons
  • No smooth iMessage integration; cannot use as reactions directly within chats and must open the sticker store/app
  • Stickers can disappear after purchase or following iOS updates, breaking access
  • Promised as a reaction feature but functions only as standalone stickers, not as tap-back reactions (perceived false advertising)
  • Small size/readability issues in recipient conversations
  • Perceived abandonment/maintenance gaps; questions about ongoing development

These are absolutely necessary. I use so many, so often. It’s much easier to Tapback a quick response than to type something, particularly when you have these to let you convey more.

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!!!!
