I'm one of the developers. Would love to hear people's feedback. We're trying to create an automatic but fun way to stay connected, and building some interesting contextual awareness along the way, e.g. https://steventheapp.com/e/Q1fJnL/subway

Why emoji and not arbitrary icons?

If they were using their own icon set I'd probably be asking the same question in reverse.

Emojis are becoming a very well known icon set among loads of different people, and I think it's smart when people capitalise on that to enable new things.

People love emoji! Also - we can send emoji in push notifications.

As a guy named Steven that used to be working on a context-aware life logger and now has an emoji app side project, this post made my day.

I hate being 'that' guy, but any chance of an android version?

We would love to be on Android. We focused on iOS first because we've been exploring the space over the past two years with new products every few months to find something that sticks. This is the first app we've launched, and you can bet that we will bring it to Android as soon as we have the resources!

That's a reasonable response. I've got another vote for android, but I'll hold onto it and be jealous of my iphone friends. They seem to be enjoying it.

we're a small team so we started on ios, but it would be fun to implement this on android since it has a lot more access to sensors and control over what happens in the background. we'll likely iterate a bit more before starting on the port though.
