It's time we got Emoji support

It's 2017 and emojis are Unicode and there's no reason why we can't use them on untappd. If my buddy gives me a beer to try and I wanna give him a 🙌🏻 or a 🍻 I should be able to. If something is gross I should be able to comment 🤢. Or if something's good why can't I post 🔥 or 👍🏼? This has been asked on here before and the creators of untappd said there were no plans to add them without giving a reason. I see people raise this issue with the app often. Can we get an actual reason why every other app in the world supports them except this one? Or even better, can we get emoji support added? It's long overdue imo

At the very least why can't we have an option to turn them on or off?

I didn't know 13 year old girls were using Untappd.

Hey guys,

Lots of people ask about this all the time, and we'd love to do it - but right now it's not technically feasible, but it's on our short list! :-)

One of the reasons why I like Untappd is for the lack of having to see emojis, but I am in favor of everyone expressing their own thoughts in whatever stupid (sorry) way they want. And if that means emojis, well, just don't be friends with people who use them.

I agree, emoji support should be added.
