Ratings and Reviews
New Version Not Good
New version doesn't insert the emoji into the running application when you click on it from the XEmoji application, it will only copy it to the clipboard. When pasted in, it insert it at the large size 18 font. Awesome that the new emoji's are included, but not being able to click on the icon and have it automatically insert is bad.
Fix the bugs please!
I tried this on OS X 10.8.0 and 10.8.1. The out of box experience is buggy. It always seems to have problems launching the tray on first click after launch. On my very first launch ever, the tray eventually popped out about 5 pixels and would toggle this "empty line" tray. I quit the application from Activity Monitor and launched again and got it to work correctly.
The next defect is that I wanted it to run on startup. Using the settings to change this option doesn't work. I rebooted to find it was gone. Further testing shows that if you set it, quit the application (properly within its menus), launch it again, it doesn't have the run on startup checked and it doesn't run on startup. I know I could add it to my login items, but at this rate it looks like its a waste of my money. I like the option of copying several different emoji at a time or it pasting into in real time to my last focused application. This only forces one at a time into your clipboard.
And for those that don't understand emoji--think of them as single characters in a foreign language keyboard. This app does make the emoji show up larger, however, its still a "single key stroke" to the other side. So if the destination can receive that foreign language key, it will still look to the receiving device like it does if you had sent the emoji from iOS. You can't change the font size of emoji that remove devices see (a single keyboard key is a single keyboard key--its treated "like" a font in OS X so thats why it can appear larger). You can even uses Mountain Lion iMessages to send these larger emoji to yourself and you'll receive your own emoji at the same size one looks if it was sent from an iOS device. Its actually a bonus that the emoji are larger in this application because they are hard to distinguish when pasted at the proper default size in OS X.
Doesn
A primary usage, is surely facebook. So should not be sold without that warning.
