LOS ANGELES, CA — (Marketwired) — 07/31/15 — (OTCQB: STOY)a leading provider of mobile-connected, wireless entertainment technology, has updated its CloudPets mobile app to version 2.0, as the CloudPets interactive plush toy, which interacts with the app, begins to sell at retail stores nationwide.
The voice and electronics of the CloudPets plush toy is powered by Spiral–s proprietary technology that wirelessly connects the toy to the interactive CloudPet mobile app, allowing parents, grandparents and friends to verbally communicate and interact with the child CloudPet owner via the app.
In addition to enhanced functionality throughout the app, CloudPets 2.0 gives mobile device users the new ability to make in-app purchases of interactive games, children–s music (including lullabies), and other future premium content. Audio content, like lullabies, can play through the voice box of the plush toy as the child drifts off to sleep.
“This update to our mobile app represents another major milestone for CloudPets, following our recent retail rollout,” said Spiral CEO, Mark Meyers. “Adding the ability to make in-app purchases allows us to deliver a more fun, engaging, and overall more valuable user experience for children and parents alike, while keeping basic CloudPet functionality easily accessible to all.”
Unlike other mobile app publishers, Spiral Toys generates revenue from the sale of physical products that incorporates its proprietary communications technology. Adopting the new –freemium– model for the CloudPet mobile app introduces a whole new revenue stream.
“Our unique business model solves two major problems in the digital content space,” noted Meyers, “We don–t depend 100% on mobile app revenue and we don–t need to spend extraordinary amounts in marketing dollars to attract new mobile app users. Our retail distribution partners finance the manufacturing of the physical product, which leads to new mobile app users with every sale.”
The updated CloudPet app is available for download at the and .
