Ubooly was funded through Kickstarter, and is alumni of the TechStars’ 2012 class.

Our company’s mission is to create the most entertaining (and cuddly) automated learning experience for children.

You may be wondering right now, what exactly is Ubooly? Well, Ubooly is a stuffed animal that is super silky and soft, that comes to life when you insert your mobile device into it and start the app. It’s also a toy that encourages kids to use their imagination, creativity and natural play. Ubooly’s target age range is 4-9 yrs old.

Ubooly is also made of premium memory foam that protects against drops from as high as a 3-story building! No need to worry, your tablet is safe in Uoobly.

 

As soon as we received Ubooly, my kids wanted to play with it right away.

Setting up the app was very simple. Once you have downloaded the app and created an account, you can start to set up profiles for each child that will be using Ubooly.

Each profile is customizable and Ubooly will know your child’s name, age, favourite colour and interests.

Ubooly is not only about playing, it is also about learning. You can download extra learning add-ons like grammar, math, spelling and more. Your child can also learn a different language with Ubooly!

Ubooly will adapt to how your child plays. Ubooly will figure out which activities your child likes the most, and avoids the ones that they don’t.

My kids really enjoyed playing with Ubooly. They really enjoyed when it would prompted them to throw him in the air. There was lots of laughter from them once they heard Ubooly enjoying it also. There were definitely a few times where Ubooly was droped while this was going on, but my Ipad stayed safe and snug inside of Ubooly.

Ubooly will ask your child simple questions like “Do you want to sing a song?” and recognizes if your child says yes or no.  My 3 year old really loved answering Ubooly’s questions. I found that he played with it a lot longer than most of his other toys.
