It's really good. Rocket makes it so easy to get the emoji you want where you want it.

I can't live without this app, period. It lacks some crucial features like fuzzy search (i.e "food" or "transport") but it's still very much one of my essential piece of free software I use everyday.

No more hunting around for the emoji keyboard—or the right emoji. Rocket makes it so easy to get the emoji you want where you want it.

This is such an easy app for using GIFs and emoji anywhere. I have it set to launch at start-up and it's hidden in my menubar unless I need to add a cool new GIF. Once I figured out the best process for saving GIFs locally to then enter them into the app, I was settled on using Rocket for my everyday GIF sharing and emoji entry tool.
