Monkimun releases Monki Shake It - a fun language-learning app for kids - Published on 01/16/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Today Monkimun, the Google's 2014 award-winning startup that builds language learning games for children, continues its Monki line launching Monki Shake It for kids 2-6 years old. The app has four different lessons disguised as mini-games and one test to evaluate the skills acquired. As they are learning, kids receive awards they can keep in a fun tree-house. The app will be available for Android and Kindle soon. Monki Shake It is available in English, Spanish and Mandarin Chinese.

San Francisco, California - Monkimun, today is pleased to introduce its newest app, Monki Shake, a language-learning app for kids between 2 and 6 years old.

Children are exposed to different grammatical structures, questions, commands and new vocabulary according to the topic of each one of the lessons - numbers, musical instruments, animals, toys, means of transport and weather.

This app can be used to reinforce a child's mother tongue or to introduce the sounds and structure of a second language; a very important step in being able to speak it fluently.

Monkimun's VP of Product, Marieta Viedma, says, "Kids learn naturally everything they hear and see. Our goal is to take advantage of that fact teaching them how to communicate in different languages in a controlled, fun and highly educative environment."

Kinkle Helps People Connect, Chat and Meet New Friends - Published on 01/16/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Kinkle from Born of Success Pty Ltd. lets users connect with old and new friends nearby or anywhere in the world via text, photo or video. The fun new messaging app features both normal messages and disappearing "flash" messages, an interactive people wall to see multiple possible connections at once, landscape mode viewing, and more. Users can login through Facebook or a new kinkle account and will immediately start seeing people they know, or meet new faces by browsing the People section.

Cupertino, California - People who are bored with old-fashioned messaging apps and want something fun, new and exciting that really puts the "social" back in social networking, can head to the App Store and download Kinkle from Born of Success Pty Ltd.

Designed with a streamlined and stylish interface that looks fantastic on both small and large screens, Kinkle is refreshingly easy to use. It all basically works in 3 steps:

Step 1: After downloading and installing the app, users start by setting up their personal profile that includes their interests and, if they wish, an entertaining video. Users who choose to login via Facebook can also immediately connect with friends, family and fans by clicking on their profile picture.

Step 2: Users browse the "People" section to find someone they know - or someone they'd like to know. They can search by age, gender, distance or location. For distance-based searches, users can browse for users within 310 miles/500km. For location-based searchers, users can browse the globe by dropping a pin on the app's unique interactive map.

Step 3: Users swipe through people one-by-one, or they can scroll the app's interactive people wall - either in portrait or landscape mode - in order to see many people at once. After clicking and reading profiles, they can send an invitation to connect simply by swiping up.

While this is happening, users also receive a steady stream of invitations from old and new friends. They can respond via normal text, photo or video messages, or they can respond via Snapchat-like "flash" messages that disappear after a few seconds. Unlike disappearing messages in other apps the timer only counts down while the users is viewing the message, this provide users the luxury to ration viewing time if they wish. Users can also share photos from their device's camera roll.

"Kinkle goes against an industry which routinely separates making new connections with chatting to existing friends. With Kinkle you can expect to do both naturally as you would in real life," commented Karl Bealing of Born of Success Pty Ltd. "Users who add the app to their world will enjoy a whole new level of social networking fun, as they easily and instantly connect with old friends and new friends, close to home, and around the world!"

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* 17.9 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Kinkle 1.0, the fun new messaging app that helps people connect, chat and meet new friends, is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Lifestyle category.
