Funky Bots Named #1 Best New Kids App in US, Canada, China and Australia - Published on 09/16/14

FB LLC today announces that its innovative new kids app Funky Bots, was just chosen by Apple the #1 Best New Kids App in the US, Canada, China, Australia and Mexico! Funky Bots allows players to create their own space robot dances and set them to swipes and taps. Funky Bots creator Rosa Mei developed the app around the concept of open-ended play for kids. With this innovative new app, kids can explore the cool Funky Bots universe and play with dancing robots who know how to groove.

Antwerpen, Belgium - Funky Bots, an innovative new kids app that allows players to create their own space robot dances and set them to swipes and taps was just chosen by Apple the #1 Best New Kids App in the US, Canada, China, Australia and Mexico. Funky Bots creator Rosa Mei developed the app around the concept of open-ended play for kids. One year ago, Mei, a professional choreographer, had never even used an app, but was inspired to make apps for her toddler twins to help them "feel the beat and dance forever." The Funky Bots are part of an interactive animated music video featuring eight original tracks by Ethan Beatz and French beatboxer Teddy Guilbaud. Perfect for all ages, the app lets kids play with dancing bots and create their own cool robot dances.

With this innovative new app, kids can explore the cool Funky Bots universe and play with dancing robots who know how to groove. They create their own dance moves for Kamky, Tekzilla, Uncle G and other members of the Funky Bots crew and set them to swipes and taps. They choose the perfect soundtrack to match their dances, all the while keeping it fresh and funky.

After releasing the app late August, Mei was stunned to see her Funky Bots at the top of the iTunes store two weeks later as the #1 Best New Kids App in the United States. "I was shocked and ecstatic. I ran to the living room and my toddler son started stomping his feet and jumping up and down to imitate me." Mei's company (also called Funky Bots) is an indie development firm of one person.

"My office is a closet in our apartment in Prague that I converted into a tiny Dilbert cubicle. Maya, the programmer I work with, lives in Bulgaria. We've never even met in real life. We just send send each lots of files and Skype a lot, and now we've made the a top kids app."

In fact, the dynamic duo, already had success with their first collaboration BoomKLAKers, a toddler app that was chosen as Best New App in 108 countries. "We thought we beat the odds with BoomKLAKers and wanted to make something that was even better and gave kids more room to create and make their own dances. I'm always amazed at how kids have an innate ability to think out of the box. I think this is often because they don't even realize that the box exists, so there's no limit to the quirkiness of their creations."

Choreographer Rosa Mei created the app and based all the eight members of the Funky Bots crew (cartoon space robots) on her real life dance company and family. "All the FB characters really are family to me. The guys in my dance company - poppers, bboys, beatboxers and rappers - have performed with me all over the world for 10 years now. Those are the characters Uncle G, Kamky, Champion and Boom Chak. They are my crazy bros. Tycho and Tekzilla are my twins who are now almost 2. My husband was a competitive skateboarder as a kid so I named his bot Thrasher in honor of the epic skate magazine. And I am Mz. Erratik because I am nothing but..."

Mei wanted to create an app with open-ended play. "I really hope the kids who play with Funky Bots will make up wild, crazy dances for every swipe and tap. They can make robot heads orbit around the body. The bots can move tai chi slow or spaz out and freak the beat. There are endless possibilities for play, and the kids can get so much effect by just rotating an arm angle, changing the movement of the hips or varying the tempo of the movements. They can also play with the monitors on the spaceships and make rockets fly. I hope kids have a lot of fun with this app."

Funky Bots features eight original sound tracks by French beatboxer Teddy Guildbaud and Congolese sound producer Ethan Beatz. The music is not the typical stuff you find in kids apps. The first track "Galactic Funk" for example, is a funkstyle remix of the kids classic "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star." Says Mei, "Kids like being cool and hip. Hip and funny is key."

As the Funky Bots hop from planet to planet, players can watch Uncle G practice his moves on his spaceship then zoom in the monitor to see Mz. Erratik dancing at the shopping mall in outer space. Tapping and swiping the screen triggers new robots dances in a cool, intergalactic playground.

Features:
* Cool, funky robots dancing in outer space
* A dance editor that lets you create your own dances for all the Funky Bots and set them to swipes and taps
* 8 original soundtracks featuring cool funk style music, beatbox, flute and sax
* Perfect for kids of all ages: toddlers can play with dancing robots and older kids can create new dances, endless possibilities
* No third party ads or in-app purchases

Funky Bots is the second app by Rosa Mei, whose goal is to create a suite of apps that show kids how to "feel the beat and dance forever." Their first app BoomKLAKers, made for toddlers, was featured in the App Store as Best New App in 108 countries and also went to #1 in 23 countries.

More apps are on the way for additional self-help genres.

"The reason people love our hypnosis apps is that they are free to download and, more importantly, they work," says de Heer. "These apps are professionally produced by experts in the field, and that shows in the results listeners are raving about in the apps' reviews."
