Thank you!

Absolutely loving the stickers and their customisation! Perfectly designed to drive action, inspiration and engagement. Fantastic trendy designs too! So, so cool!

Counting the days to see a speech caption feature appearing. That will be such a time saver plus will support the consumption of content without sound.

The new features are great, but please, please, improve the tags, because it has no sense that we can’t use the tags that actually are going to work for us. Also tags in different languages. Please, that’s almost the only thing that the app needs now. Oh, also to make it functional in the IPad. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing the new Idea Pin features!  Question - do you know if they are working on making advancements on the analytics of idea pins?  It would be great to see what page people bounce on or what tags they've clicked. 

Thanks!

Having a blast experimenting with the latest features!

I find the following very helpful when it comes to personal branding: 

  • hex code picker/recent color
  • images as backgrounds
  • logos as stickers

Thanks! @BestFunGifts
