Creators of Pictoword, Pocket Family, Word Beach with over 250 million downloads across different platforms. Kooapps is an indie gaming studio, focused on mobile game design and development. We trace our beginnings to the 2008 release of Apple’s Software Development Kit (SDK). This led to a developer’s vision of building the first SAT flashcard application for the iPhone. This developer along with two other colleagues, all Stanford University alumnae, pioneered the team which later became Kooapps. Kooapps came from “Cool Apps” - which is the premise of bringing cool, entertaining and trend-setting apps. We are driven by the passion for our craft. We want to make the best games in the world while doing the best work of our life. We make games we want to show our friends. https://www.kooapps.com/ https://www.facebook.com/Kooapps/
