"Kimoji" costs $1.99 in the US and £1.49 in the UK. Users can copy and paste an emoji from the app into a conversation. Emoji include a depiction of her in a bathing suit, a donut, and a perfume bottle.
iPhone users went to download "Kimoji" in such high numbers that the service crashed. Some users complained that the App Store wouldn't load at all while others claimed that the app wouldn't download, according to The Daily Mail.
Fans used Twitter to complain about the outage.
I'm crying because you can't even search for the app and it costs money but Kim still managed to break the App Store ?? #KimsImpact #KIMOJI
