Animated stickers app for iOS, anyone?

Posted on December 15, 2014 by

Stickers are old hat in Online social communication by now. There’s a new iOS app called Duckey whose developers seem to think otherwise.

new iOS app

 

The team at LittleBigFun say it realized that the Apple App store did not really have apps dedicated to stickers so decided to go ahead & build one themselves.

Rather than use plain ole’ text or emojis, the team behind this new app thought why not build an iOS keyboard featuring only the best animated characters, to make users’ chats “more expressive & fun”. This was born, Duckey.

Using this new iOS app, you can:

– Express yourself with animated stickers (yes, everything is animated)

– Send fun stickers straight from your keyboard, works with messages, e-mail & more

– A growing library

 

LittleBigFun is a kinda veteran of Online stickers & emojis, have previously made apps in this genre.
