Such a great concept, but when I tried it, it sent to the wrong side - didn't work. I probably did something wrong, but it wasn't what I was hoping for :-(
@ramykhuffash Ramy, you're not the only one! Make sure you're using them like stickers, so actually "peeling" them off, and then dragging them to cover the entirety of the other personβs text. If you're just tapping and sending, it will send no the right side and not look right.
@maximumhq Man, tell me about it. I feel bad, but well over half of those reviews are people not able to wrap their heads around the simple fact that if you put one of the stickers over top of someone's gray text on YOUR phone, that doing that will make it show up over top of the blue text of the receiver on THEIR phone. I'm not sure there's anything I could do within the confines of a sticker pack to fix that fundamental misunderstanding of the joke.
@ahow@maximumhq I think this is the common conundrum of users using the app, vs developers making the app. It's about making sure they don't go down the wrong path in the first place.
@eddietomalin Hey Eddie, do you happen to have an iPhone SE or the Display View set to Zoomed? Unfortunately I can't control the size of the stickers on the SE, but setting your Display Zoom to Standard will fix the problem for iPhone 6 and above.
Hey guys...this is a pretty funny idea but I am confused with the sizing of the bubbles. They dont match realistic the size of natural text bubbles for 1 and 2 line messages.. You have several 2 line stickers that are half the width of a normal 2 line text message. it looks really awkward. Here is an example: https://cl.ly/0e351a2g3X2d Am I doing something wrong??
@callmethebear Hey Adam! I tweeted this the other day to try and help explain: https://twitter.com/ahow/status/.... Basically: stickers are square, iMessage chat bubbles are not. So Phoneys works best on short texts, so you can cover them up 100%.
There's also this new way of using them that I discovered today: https://twitter.com/ahow/status/....
Hope that helps!
Have been trying to purchase this the last few days. App is still showing in app store au but only today it advised this item is no longer available. :(
Damn must freaking pay more attention to producthunt. I can't believe Phoney's has been shut down and I didn't even get a chance to play with it. But well done @ahow. Just reading your time line was entertaining enough. I could totally feel your joy and your pain...
