This is a great app which I've used for years. However, there have been some bugs and UI problems introduced recently. It seems that there's a bug which hides single letters (eg i a M) which come after a delimiter (eg full stop). For example the text "hey. Y are" would not display the "Y". I'm also not sure that the swipe to view the next message in a chain improves things much - a swipe suggests moving through pages of content, while the message is only cycled through one way. I don't know what was wron

This app has a bug. It does not show less than 3 emojis in portrait and less than 4 emojis in landscape mode for emoji only text. It would be better if you could sort it out.

My last review was 3/27/15. Now is almost 2018, 4 devices later this app never let me down. Whoever is the dev, you rock man.

Amazing and essential

O70%
by O####:

Wanted something like Nick fury used in the winter soldier, but this is close enough and more useful with the auto sizing of the text. More for using in places too loud to talk, not because i think the room is bugged.

This app is begging for emoji support!

Back devs... You were missed very much

Y70%

Perfectly simple and effective. Useful in tough-to-communicate situations (closing tab at a bar, for instance).

Been using the free version since forever! Never gets old, always useful. EDIT AFTER UPDATE: what I said still applies, really useful app, use it all the time, but the white back ground... Cmon.. plz fix xD.. seriously tho, make the theme black and I'll be back to 5 stars, and you rock. Considering buying it for the amount of use I got out of it, I don't need the extra features! Ggwp

The recent update changed too much. I would have been fine with additional options, but changing the screen where you type from black to white and no longer switching text on tap (swipe now) both suck. I loved it before, but... Yeesh.

The simple, subtle black background was great on the previous version. Downgraded to painful white text input screen.

I wasn't expecting an update after so many days.. but since you are working on it.. could you please add an orientation option with 3 choices : Auto, Potrait and Landscape. thank you

Been using embiggen to communicate with my grandma for a while now. Works really smooth, and the last update only helps it. Greeeat

It needs the option to use a delimiter that isn't displayed.

Great redesign. Prompt dev.

D70%

One of my favourite apps. So great for bars and for working in quiet environments. Not such of a fan of the white background as you type in the new update, please add a dark option, I prefer to be discrete!

Who needs Facegram or Instabook when you can just EMBIGGEN what you want people to read?

K70%
by K####:

This app is amazing at crowded bars. Just stand behind everyone and hold up your phone with a drink order. Next thing you know a drink will come to you even if you're three people back. Its awesome!! Saves a ton of time at bars and the bartenders love it because they don't have to try to hear you yell or guess what you just said. Simple and easy to use.

Love it on my phone, but just get a blank screen in my nexus 7 :( if it doesn't support tablets, don't make it available for them

Years past since my first android, but one thing that hadn't changed is this nifty little thing. The sheer simplicity and convenience of flashing words to your co-worker across the room is utterly priceless.

by C####:

my favorite use so far is telling people their car lights are off at night. there's no universal hand signal for lights and you can't flash yours at people behind you. also most people are apparently terrible lip readers.

This app was fantastic about a year ago, but now none of the text displays when I try to post it....not sure what happened...Sony Xperia Z tablet.

I like the app but would like to save more than 3 phrases. Does the paid version allow you to do that?

Pointless software ;)

Can you make it so that embiggened words center in the screen lengthwise when they've expanded all they could width wise? Right now it's just at the top of the screen. 5 stars if fixed
