Review summary

User reviews are mixed. Many praise the app for its extensive symbol library, free access, and usefulness for profile pics and self-expression without emojis, with easy copy-and-paste usage. However, a strong recurring complaint is that ads dominate the experience and appear frequently. Some users also report an incomplete symbol set and missing fonts or features (like ordinal suffixes) and friction using the app without a built-in keyboard. Overall, it delivers a broad symbol catalog at no cost but with notable usability drawbacks.

Pros

Extensive symbol library (Unicode, faces, and symbols).
Completely free to use with no payments required.
Useful for personal expression and profile pictures without relying on emojis.
Copy-and-paste workflow makes it easy to insert symbols into messages.

Cons

Ads dominate the experience (frequent full-screen ads and launch ads).
Requires copy-paste to use symbols and lacks a built-in keyboard integration, causing usability friction.
Symbol library is not complete (some users report missing symbols, fonts, and ordinal suffixes) and request more features.
