Critics and supporters of Hillary Clinton can now share their opinions of her via an emoji app inspired by her political career.

Developers at Tanooki Labs have released a free ’Hillarymoji’ iOS app that shows her as a superhero, deleting emails from her Blackberry, dancing in a pantsuit, and giving voters a “thumbs up” sign. There is also a “woman card” emoji that can be played at a moment’s notice.

“With Hillarymoji, it’s easy to show your solidarity for Hillary, support the causes you believe in, and celebrate history in the making. And weekly emoji updates mean you won’t miss out on any of the highlights from the campaign trail,” the creators’ website says, although they are not affiliated with the former secretary of state’s campaign.

The technology website Cult of Mac reviewed the app on Friday, saying, “Hillarymoji is definitely better than the other emoji keyboards we’ve seen for Trump and Bernie Sanders.”

FBI agents are currently investigating Mrs. Clinton’s use of a secret email inside her Chappaqua, New York, home while serving as President Obama’s top diplomat. The agency’s findings may result in the indictment of the presumptive presidential nominee for violating a subsection of the Espionage Act related to “gross negligence” in handling government documents.

The State Department inspector general determined in late May that Mrs. Clinton was never given approval to use a private server for work-related emails.

“OIG found no evidence that the Secretary requested or obtained guidance or approval to conduct official business via a personal email account on her private server,” the report said, Reuters reported May 25.

Mrs. Clinton’s campaign insists she did nothing that would warrant criminal prosecution.
