Bitmoji is the wildly popular app that allows users to create customized Emoji that are based on their own looks and expressions. It can allow for a huge degree of creativity and self-expression that simply cannot be captured in words.

The Bitmoji website bills itself as giving you the ability to create "your personal emoji." Indeed, using a robust selection of character traits, you can create an emoji that looks remarkably similar to you, customizing a wide array of features to give you the Bitmoji of your dreams. You can then put these Bitmoji into hundreds of different situations, allowing them to express hundreds of emotions or activities. 

Bitmoji allows for easy integration with texting and social networking. As such, you can use your character in a variety of different circumstances. Furthermore, the app is updated on a regular basis, with recent changes unveiled that incorporate more actions, emotions, and the ability to upload the app into certain games. 

Bitmoji was largely designed for use with Snapchat. If you have a Snapchat account, you can easily log in and integrate your Bitmoji with your account. Having a Snapchat account gives you added features and backgrounds. Unfortunately, you cannot access many of these features without Snapchat. You can still upload pictures of your Bitmoji to other social networks, like Facebook & Twitter - it is just a little less convenient and doesn't come with as many features as the Snapchat integration. 

Thankfully for many users, the App is not just an App. Recent extensions have been added that allow for Bitmoji's to be integrated into Chrome, Gboard, and iMessaging. 

While the preloaded templates and customization options are great, more creative users may find these features somewhat limiting, as the App does not come with the ability to create your own Bitmoji features or clothing. As such, your creativity is limited by what the preloaded options allow you to create. 

Pros:

  • The customizability options on the emoji are numerous and mind-boggling. Indeed, it's hard to not be able to create a character that doesn't look like you.
  • You can then use your Bitmoji in any number of situations, including texting, gaming, and social networking.
  • The app easily integrates into your phone and texts, allowing Bitmoji to be easily shared in the course of common conversation.
  • The app is extremely easy to use and popular with many kids. Indeed, one of the problems may be that your kids will want to play with this app on a regular basis!
  • Customizability options don't stop at you - you can also add your friends into Bitmojis with you. 

Cons:

  • Requires you sign-in via Email or Snapchat, which can be inconvenient for people who don't want to give an Email address or don't have Snapchat. Without signing in, you can't use the app. 
  • Users have noted that there are some reliability issues with the app, causing it to periodically crash. 
  • Many features are only available if you have a Snapchat account. 
  • You cannot create your own features and must use the options that come with the App.
