Their phenomenal success has made Outfit7 the world’s leading creator of interactive digital toys for children, as they have dominated the App Store’s Top 10 Free and Paid Entertainment category this year.  

Below are the iPhone App Store rankings for Outfit7’s Talking Friends collection (as of December 20, 2010):

Each of the Talking Friends apps features a unique and lively, fully animated 3D character that can be poked, tickled, and played with on mobile touch-screen devices. The interactive character repeats everything a user says and unique videos of interactions with the characters can be shared via Facebook, YouTube or email. Outfit7’s Talking Friends collection has created a revolutionary new global trend in the children’s entertainment market, and the millions of views logged by Talking Friends-inspired YouTube videos is proof of the phenomenon.

“It’s a bit overwhelming to think about how many devices we’ve touched in the short time we’ve been around,” says Andrej Nabergoj, CEO of Outfit7. “With that said, we’re still fully committed to pushing the envelope and continuing to give users an experience they are happy to share with others.”

Outfit7’s most popular interactive talking friend, Talking Tom Cat, has generated 19 million downloads on iOS and 8 million downloads on Android. In addition, their most recent app, Talking Santa for iPhone, currently the No.1 Paid App in over 30 countries around the world, was recently featured on NBC's The Today Show. With the current momentum of installs, the company has projected 10 million downloads per month by the end of 2011 and plans to hit the 100 million mark by Q2, 2011.
