Hi HN, I hope you will enjoy this app. I was inspired to make it because my daughter likes to make little doodles on my iPad, and I thought it would be fun to add a "sticker" effect so they stand out better against a solid background... then I thought it would be fun to turn it into a Messages sticker app; next thing you know Sticker Doodle was born.

I launched the app with translations in English, Spanish, German, Italian, Arabic, Japanese, and Chinese. Everything is stored and sync'd with iCloud, and there is full support for dynamic text sizes and light/dark mode. I took great care to make it an app everyone around the world could use and enjoy.

I'm happy to answer questions or take feedback! Lots of features and updates already added to the todo list :)

Are stickers the new Emojis? Every app seem to have a slightly different implementation and they don't really interoperate well.

Can this tool be used for WhatsApp stickers? And how different are Slack and Discord Stickers?

I wonder if we'll see some standardization in the future akin to the addition of emojis to Unicode.

stickers are the half-way point between images and emoji, as in, bigger emoji, usually sent without a message.

Some platforms upgrade emoji to stickers when used solo (telegram for example)

there isn't anything majorly special about them on any platform AFAIK

As a user since your beta on Airport: Congratulations for making it on App Store! Just to let you know that Telegram has client-side API (and SDK) for creating sticker packs - hope you can support it!

Er forgot the link to doc: https://core.telegram.org/import-stickers

Great, thank you! I will look at the Telegram API/SDK.

I would love to be able to make stickers on my iPad and use them on my iPhone. But even without the pencil my first sticker looks terrific! Great job on this!!

This should certainly work already if your iPad and iPhone are logged in to the same iCloud account. The stickers should sync automatically when you launch the app on the other device. Please let me know if it's not working for you!

Now we just have to wait until people leave walled gardens like Slack and Discord and start using the Internet standard for IM.
