                        Really slow to render when not using concise
This is a great component, but on an iPhone 7, rendering this with concise={false} takes 5+ seconds.  On most Android devices it's even longer (10 seconds).  I assume this is because there is a bunch of processing going on with 1100+ emojis, but this lag basically makes this unusable for me.
Yes, same for me. Rendering is really really slow. I had to remove the plugin. @ryanvanderpol Did you find any solution for this?
Sorry late for this. if you still on and have have time on this, try the latest version(@1.0.7) and add a props to the components. The props is asyncRender, and set it true on android. Let me knew that if this solution is valid. Thanks a lot
<Emoticons
 onEmoticonPress={this._onEmoticonPress.bind(this)}
 onBackspacePress={this._onBackspacePress.bind(this)}
 show={this.state.showEmoticons}
concise={true}
 showHistoryBar={true}
showPlusBar={true}
asyncRender={true}
/>
@xiewang Thanks for the update! But i ended up using https://github.com/brendan-rius/react-native-emoji-keyboard/. It turned out to be super fast. But its only for iOS. I will use your library for android later this month and let you know.
In the meanwhile please see to this, that setting concise to true does not render all the emojis and basically turns out to be not useful at all.
