Wow, very polished! The UX looks and feels great. The 3D sticker effect is really cool and fun. The first time hints are effective and it’s really easy and quick to start making real stickers. Kudos!
A few bits of feedback: - after zooming in photo mode, I naturally tried to pan to get my object in view, but that quickly created a path and then immediately went into the save screen, which was jarring. I know it tells you to try but panning and zooming is just second nature. Maybe show a message if the path drawing time is very short?
- tracing a photo is harder than the demo makes it look! The zoom view is very helpful here but it is still a very painstaking process, and if you mess up, you have to start over. I was hoping that it would use my path as a start and automatically refine it but nope.
- if the photo path starts in the upper left, the zoom is blocked. Perhaps you can move it automatically if needed.
- took me a moment to figure out how to copy a sticker for use in Signal. I expected to be able to long press on the sticker and get a context menu, but that doesn’t work. You have to go to “options” which is not immediately obvious. Also, having to pick a image size is not something most users want to think about, they just want to copy and paste like text.
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.
Only a 5.3MB download for the whole app? Bravo!
This is excellent! There used to be a similar app called "Sticky AI", but the company abandoned it after a while and the backend for the app shut down. This works great and has no external dependencies.
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!
Nicely done!
Feature request: folder or hidden compartment/sticker(s) option?
It seems as if my only artistic contribution to the world will be in the shape of poorly drawn phallic scribbles. (which I have a plan to leverage via iMessage with my wife and fantasy football group text thread) However, I would like to prevent the awkward conversation with my 6 year old if possible about the "cool drawing" daddy keeps making and texting. ;)
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!!
Looks very cool! I'm surprised Apple hasn't done this yet. I predict this will either be shut down or bought.
Your app feels really clean! I like the dropping buttons when you want to delete a sticker and the sticker effect when you view a sticker and you pull it up or down. iCloud Sync also works like a charm! Hope you manage to get Whatsapp support in the near future ;)
Looks super polished! Is there a mac app coming? I started a project similar to this for mac https://github.com/tmprk/Stickers-macOS
As great as the feature is (and I've always wanted to be able to easily create Stickers) the best thing about this is the obvious love and care that went into the app. 10/10.
Inspiring to see a "hobby" project at this level of polish. Thank you.
The press kit made me lol, specially the image you picked for yourself.
Great job on the app!
This is really fun to play with, and people love getting custom stickers.
You sir, have a HIT! $2 is a steal for this. One question, what is the app icon supposed to be? I think a kids smiley face or the cat example would make for a better impression.
TAKE MY $2.00!!!
This is great! If I create a sticker on one device, will it sync via iCloud to my other devices?
A great app! But why Telegram is not supported? It’s one of the most popular messages nowadays
I wish I thought of this. Then I could quit my job.
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 :)
