Tipitap Launches ‘Drawing Together’ App That Helps Families Bond With Kids Near And Far

PALO ALTO, Calif. - Jan. 10, 2014 - PRLog -- This innovative family app connects kids and adults while drawing and coloring together—in real time—even if they are miles apart. Users see everything drawn on each others’ screens during a live voice call.

Kids talk their way through this natural, second-nature activity and interact like never before. But it’s so much more than talk, it’s a shared activity that includes games, drawing, and yes…conversations. It’s a shared moment that allows strong bonds to flourish.

With this collaborative drawing app for iPhone and iPad, parents and grandparents, aunts and college best friends can bond and stay connected with children near and far over playful art-making activities.

“It’s the closest thing to being there!” explains Martin de Santos, Tipitap’s co-CEO. “In general, kids don’t enjoy talking on the phone. But with ‘Drawing Together,’ children are doing something fun, and begin telling you about their day, their latest adventures and favorite things.”

It’s simple. To connect, users share a PIN code or find other drawing buddies on Facebook.

It offers fun paper games like Tic-Tac-Toe and Hangman, as well as 50+ cute coloring pages and backgrounds from the app’s library. The app has a curated color palette, stickers, and a fun set of brushes including a rainbow-colored brushstroke.

‘Drawing Together’ takes advantage of iOS 7’s powerful new features that allow connections in the same room, or car, even without Wi-Fi.

Rod Benadon, Tipitap’s co-CEO, says “The experience brings families closer. It’s very gratifying to see kids communicating and sharing like this on mobile devices. Being on the same page just got a whole new meaning.”
