Ubooly is the world's first Smart Toy™ - a cuddly creature, powered by your iPhone or iPod touch.  It downloads interactive content every month over wifi, including games, stories, and adventures.  Our goal is to get kids excited to learn through engaging content.  

This crazy little toy has an animated face, and squishy filling to protect your iOS device from harm.  And while your Ubooly might look funny, it's got a great set of ears.  It doesn't matter how old you are, just talk to Ubooly and watch it react.  It's like Siri -- but cuter.

Check out some video footage of Ubooly at play:

Kid Approved

Here's a taste of what our beta testers are saying..

The kids got home with a friend and immediately grabbed my phone and stuffed it into Ubooly.  They are currently screaming at him and having a wonderful time.- Eric

Charley has been so hysterical with her Ubooly. She brought it with us on vacation this weekend and carried it around like her stuffed toy.- Ricki

My 8 year old (who loves gadgets) declared 'The Ubooly is pretty cool'. - Chris

Carly took 'Udi' her Ubooly to school today. She created a great deal of excitement and her new jokes are quickly making the rounds.- David

The Software

Want a pet?  Finally - there's an app for that.  Ubooly is a giant, furry iOS app. Customize its face, enter your child's preferences, and off you go into a magical world of adventure.  We are including over 4 hours of content in the initial download, after which we will update every month with hours of new games, jokes, and stories.  Content packs will be in the $1 - $3 range, available as an in-app purchases.

Ubooly also has access to an online laboratory, where your child can train Ubooly in new languages, play games, and make treats.  Our goal is to expand this experience over time to include a great deal of educational content that is fun and excites a passion around learning and exploring our world.

The Content

Most of the content we are producing for Ubooly centers around exploration and adventure.  We want kids to have active play and learn about animals, nature, and social interaction.  We of course also center around fun activities that incorporate imagination and critical thinking.

Since children of a wide age group will be playing with Ubooly, we have an array of content that caters to different attention spans, energy levels, and preferences.  Ubooly will learn more about your child over time and begin to deliver the content that is most appropriate and best received.

Your Support

With your support, we will be able to afford the cost of creating tooling needed to manufacture the squishy interior.  It will also help cover the minimum run required for production.
