## Description

**Simple Keyboard With Emojis** is a fast and lightweight keyboard designed for users who want quick typing without compromising on essential emoji support. Built as a modified version of the open-source Simple Keyboard, it adds valuable emoji functionality to popular social media apps that lack their own emoji input. 

With a tiny app size under 1.5MB, this keyboard launches swiftly and consumes minimal resources. It features a number row with long-press emoji access, adjustable keyboard height for improved screen space, swipe gestures for cursor movement and delete actions, and customizable theme colors. It is privacy-conscious with no network permissions and completely ad-free. Users can enable it under system languages and input settings. The current emoji set includes a wide range of popular expressions, with openness to add more upon user requests. Licensed under the Apache License, it is an excellent choice for those seeking simplicity, speed, and emoji convenience in a keyboard.

Users appreciate Simple Keyboard With Emojis for its lightweight, fast performance, minimal design, and inclusion of emojis without auto-correct. However, multiple reviews point out the inconvenience in accessing emojis, suggesting separate emoji keys for easier use. The app lacks several advanced features such as clipboard, swipe typing, and customizable settings, which some users desire. There are also concerns about privacy and incomplete emoji sets. Overall, it's favored as a low-RAM, fast alternative but could improve emoji accessibility and add more features.
