> From the developers of more than twenty 4.5+/5-star apps

On the website I saw only two apps, one adblock and one chrome extension. The iTunes connect didn't really show many apps and the linkedin had almost nothing.

I am not doubting it, but if you put this claim on the site you should back it up.

Edit: Forgot about the actual product, looks nice.

Thank you. We mostly make apps for other companies, but a lot of our own apps are linked (directly or indirectly) from our homepage (http://rocketshipapps.com/):

Obligatory when is it coming to Android question.

My default keyboard offers emoji based on what I type. For example, I type "fire" and the fire emoji is one of three suggestions. I find that I use it a lot. If this image search was quick and snappy then I would definitely use it.

I think whether or not we do an Android port will depend on how this release fairs (since this post, we have gotten traction from Product Hunt: https://www.producthunt.com/tech/image-search-keyboard). We targeted iOS because we’re working on a framework for rapidly developing custom iOS keyboards (which we describe some more in our launch blog post: https://log.rocketshipapps.com/image-search-keyboard-5a6b37a...).

Our image results aren’t instant (you have to hit a search button first), but this is a good idea for a future iteration.
