You are having fun with your friends texting back and forth. Inserting the right visual illustration representing your exact feeling is frustrating because the emojis you are using are bland, dull, and dated. Clicking on over into the Google Play app store, you start searching for emojis that can represent you with some class. You try a few of the freebie apps that are a joke. Some of them are embarrassingly bad. Some of them claim that they are free, but then they try to charge you multiple times for grabbing a few more desirable characters from their stash. You find AAeMojis in the store and download all 100 of the gang. Now you are really ready for a texting and social media jam. Below are just a few of the AAeMojis who squeezed into their launch party selfie on April 30, 2018. Tell your friends about them. Read more about the AAeMojis App so you can get yours.    Who is behind that mask?

In May of 2017, we created an emoji game that was a lot of fun to create and play. QuikMoji was released in June 2017 to the Google Play Store. We've held back on offering to you the individual emojis until now. There are over 10,000 Android devices so it is difficult to create an emoji app that works successfully across the board. If your device does not have a button to switch back and forth from the standard QWERTY (ABC) keyboard to the emoji keyboard then you'll probably be very unhappy. Many devices do not have this kind of button. We needed to come up with a solution that gets around this limitation so we took our time to work out the details. The new app is called AAeMojis (not the full name). It's completely finished and tested. Look for the Android version very soon!

With an interest in the subject material since high school, I pitched the theme to my adviser as a capstone project during graduate school. He said no to the idea, but I went ahead anyway to create and complete the digital reference you'll discover more about in the video below. We knew this project would have value. App research was done between 1993 - 1998. After 5 years, Empower Encyclopedia CD-ROM  was completed in the spring of 1998. A little bit more background about us. Quikthinking Software was registered as a trade name in 1989, a year after we graduated from college. We released our first non-history business app in 1993. The venue in the featured video: the America's Center, St. Louis for the 7th Annual Missouri Black Expo in August, 1998. I programmed Empower Encyclopedia for Windows using the Visual Basic language/software development kit. We pulled the CD-ROM off the market in 2005, as cell phone app excitement was really beginning to pick up speed in the market place. Today, a significant portion of Empower Encyclopedia lives online at BlackHistoryPeople.com and in some of our Android and IOS apps. In 2018, we celebrate 20 Years of African American History App publishing.

Tis the season. After 24 Android apps published in Google Play, Amazon, and other app stores...app 25 will be IOS. We've had an iPhone, iPad, and MacBook Pro for a couple of years. I'd say among all of our devices including the Android phones and tablets, the Kindle Fire HD is still our favorite go-to fun tech item primarily because of it's size. We use the Kindle for a lot except for email. A Motorola Droid Turbo phone comes in 2nd place. Our IOS app built by us from the ground up using the Swift programming language is completely finished. The app is one of our most popular Android winners now recreated for iPhone with additional improvements. Let's hope Apple accepts it when it is submitted soon.

Our app with one of the longest track records in the app stores sits at the top of our 10 most popular titles. Black History People 1 was originally created in 2011. Based on your feedback, we completely updated the app in 2017 as Black History People 2 with a complete redesign. In our experience apps transition from idea to completion in as little as one day to as long as nine months. We have a couple in the pipeline that have passed the one year mark in the development process. No problem! You'll like them better if they work properly. These are our 10 most popular apps ranked in order during the past 30 days: Black History People 2.4 Black History Quiz Black History Audiobook I Black History Inventors Quiz Black History Audiobook 2 Black History Museums Hip Hop Quiz Pizza Burger Crush Game QuikMoji Game Donald Crush  Game
