An iOS App to Find Every Emoji. Every Emoji, in One Place.

/ The engagement

A LAMP-Backed iOS App for Emoji Discovery.

A Silicon Valley software company, whose products see close to 5 million downloads a month, wanted one app that gathers every emoji in one place. Brainvire used the LAMP stack to build an iOS app that pulls emoji from many platforms into a single library, offers free and paid packs, rewards a free pack for each tweet, and generates automated reports.
