Fancy Smileys adds smiles and flags to your email and SMS
First I hope
Hmm... loaded it up on App World on my 8520 and the reviews are not that great. Two and a half star average. Quite a few 0 and 1 star reviews. I'm skeptical.
Just trying it now, at least its free, you get some payed apps that only get 2-3 stars
I'm skeptical as well. I downloaded the app, and on the permissions screen it wants to access my personal information. Why would it need my personal information? I denied access to that portion. We'll see how it works.
Upon opening up the app in BBM, it seems to work OK, but I only have 5 tabs and not the 7 tabs as it shows in the screenshot. I'm missing the first two tabs. Anyone know how to show the other tabs?
EDIT: Seems as though the app is buggy. In order for me to get the color tabs, I have to do this: Open BBM contact, and open Smiley app to insert smiley. Close popup, and goto BBM buddy list, and open another buddy to chat. Open the app again and this time the color tabs are present. Go back to the original contact and do it again and you should have the color tabs. Really annoying.
I had this app installed on my 9800 Torch a while back. There were none that were in color (only B/W) and were really small (in options, I clicked on large icons).
Because of the above I unistalled.
Again, the advertising shows color in the smiley faces.
so I downloaded again.
Everything still B/W and very small.
Anyone with a 9800 getting color???
Read my post above yours.
I just tried this app on the new BBM version 6 from the beta zone to see if it would work.
It doesn't. When you click to open up the smiley in BBM, nothing happens.
I uninstalled it.

I'll go download it and try it out
