Stickers and emojis are growing in popularity everyday, and people, especially teenagers are buying them by the truckload, apparently. The trend is specially popular in Asia, but also going global. But if you think Facebook’s standalone app for adding stickers to your photos is overkill, then the Line Stickers app for iOS and Android is most definitely not for you. Line, a company that makes more than $10 million per month from selling them and also lets regular people submit designs, has so many packs that it created a new app that specifically helps you find new ones.
The app serves up over a million stickers, letting Line users tag the ones they like with phrases. Tagged stickers show up in a feed of Line users from each country, allowing others to vote on them, leave comments and tag friends. The idea, apparently, is that you can peruse your feed for new sticker ideas, and head to the store if you find one you like.
There’s a catch though. The initial selection inside the app are paid-for and come from its thriving Creators Market. So cheapskating is out.
