Emoji++ : The Fast Emoji Keyboard for iOS 8

I love using emojis and was regretting updating to iOS 8.4 due to the updated emoji keyboard that I found to be inelegant and tedious to use. The new stock emojis are too small and close together and awkward to navigate. This brings back the size and spacing of the old keyboard and then improves it! Best is the customizable favorites section that makes things much faster. The other great benefit it the ability to chose what new skin tones, if any, you want and disable the rest. Personally I still prefer the original cartoony "Simpsons yellow" Thanks so much for making this app! Update: I'm getting occasional crashes and odd behavior. Sometimes if I scroll through the emoji too fast, it will crash. Also if I left the emoji keyboard on after using an app and then bring up the keyboard with spotlight, it will sometimes go blank. These issues are pretty rare, but hopefully will get fixed in an update. Still a 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ app!

I hope racial emoji support is coming soon!

I had been using this all the time until the most recent iOS update. Please update app to work with the new emojis!!

iOS 8.3 has a built in emoji keyboard that is pretty decent. I tried this one and didn’t like it.

Overall the design is great. The favorites section allows me to learn muscle memory for the emoji I use all the time, since they don't shuffle around based on usage. This to me is the best feature of the keyboard. My one complaint is that I frequently use multiple of the same emoji back to back, and for whatever reason it seems that the keyboard is slow to respond if I tap an emoji repeatedly. It's not a huge deal but now that I've noticed it annoys me a bit.
