You can either create your custom stix from the app, or from within Messages. Either method will add custom stix to your library.

How to Add Ready-Made Stix

For lazy folks, I’ve created over 30 “ready-made” stix that you can use without requiring any creativity on your part whatsoever. Just tap on your favorite ready-made stix and they’ll get added to your library
 Pretty cool, I guess


From the app, tap on the “Add Ready-Made Stix” tab:

Hope you like my creations, which are filled with all of my low-self-esteem love.

How to Use Stix in Messages

The simplest way (maybe???) to use stix is with the sticker pack from the Messages app:

Use stix in messages

NOTE: The stix you create with the app and the stix you create with the sticker pack are part of the same library and you can use them from either place.

How to Share Stix

You can share the stix in many different ways (beyond just from within Messages). For instance, you can post your creations on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and in an email. Start by tapping the stix from the “My Stix” tab inside the Neurotic Stix Pro app:

Use stix in app

You have a few choices for how you can share the stix.

Share stix in app

You can use it in Messages, share it as an animated GIF, or share it as a higher-quality-but-not-animated PNG. (Keep in mind when sharing a GIF that some social media sites don’t animate GIFs when you upload them. They’ll still show the image—they just won’t animate.)

If you share the sticker as a PNG or a GIF, the “share sheet” appears.

Share sheet

This screen looks different depending on what apps you have installed, but in general, the first section (1) is the “quick-share panel” and has some quick ways to share the sticker based on your recent activity.

The second section (2) contains other apps you can send this sticker to.

Share sheet section 2

This is where you’ll see your social media apps, email, and a bunch of other things. This is a great way to create a post in Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or to create a new email.

Paste stix

This row (2) is configurable so if you don’t see what you want, scroll all the way to the right and configure it manually.

NOTE: The stuff in the second row typically only allows you to create a new thing (like a new comment or post or email), and doesn’t let you reply to a thing. If you want to reply to an existing comment or email, continue reading (about Copy and Save Image)


The bottom section (3) contains a bunch of other useful actions.

Share sheet section 3

For instance, you can select Copy to copy the stix to the clipboard or use Save Image to get the stix into your photo library.

Copy

Use Copy in order to Paste the sticker as a reply to an existing comment thread on Facebook or Instagram. Tap inside a text field (that accepts images) and a popup menu with Paste appears


Paste stix

Save Image

Use Save Image to save the image to your photo library. Now you can get to the stix just liked how you’d access any of your other photos.

Photo stix

How to Edit Stix

If you want to edit any of your existing stix, go to the “My Stix” tab and tap the “Edit” button.

Edit stix step 1

From here you can edit your stix library.

Privacy

This app is created by Neurotic Tornado, LLC. We don’t collect any data from you. We don’t want your data, we wouldn’t know what to do with your data, keep your data to yourself! In fact, the only communication that can even occur from the app is (1) with Apple regarding the one optional in-app purchase, and (2) when you explicitly share your stickers with someone else. If we ever change our privacy policy, we will post those changes here. But don’t expect many changes. The developer is pretty lazy

If you actually want to contact the neurotic developer, use this half-baked form.
