Drawp, New Children's iPad App, Brings Families Closer Together Through a Single-Swipe
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Drawp® (drawp.it), an iPad app that lets children create and share with the people they love, launched today and is available for free in the iTunes App Store. Leveraging Drawp's SimpleShare(TM) Technology, children can now safely share drawings with those in their parent-approved network over email or in the app - all through a single swipe.

According to a recent Nielsen report, 48 percent of children aged 6-12 in the US asked for an iPad last holiday season. With children's rampant usage of tablets and parents' demanding schedules, it is important for apps to be more than just e-babysitters and meet parents' and children's broader educational needs. Drawp was created to address the need for parents, family, and friends to remain involved and responsive in all aspects of a child's life.
Interacting with caring adults significantly benefits children's emotional and intellectual wellbeing, but with families living further apart than previous generations, children have fewer opportunities to communicate with the people who most care. According to an AARP report, 50 percent of grandparents live more than 200 miles away from their grandchildren; not surprisingly, 46 percent of these grandparents wish they could live closer and engage more. Drawp aims to connect children with family and friends through the simple acts of drawing and sharing, both integral aspects of a child's development and self-expression.
Drawp does this through:
-- Single-swipe sharing: Sharing is as simple and intuitive as a
single-swipe to anyone in the parent-approved network. Kids can connect
with grandparents or parents at work by swiping a drawing to their
profile pictures.
-- Collaboration: Drawp is designed with engagement in mind. Positively
reinforce and collaborate with the child by adding color or audio to the
drawing you've received and swipe it back to the child. Don't have an
iPad? Simply respond through email and it will appear as a Post-It note
on the child's drawing.
-- Parent-approved network: Parents can rest assured their children are
only sharing creations with those in the secure network curated and
approved by parents.
-- Dynamic and unique paints: iPads aren't limited by the physics of paper
and paints, so drawing apps should reflect that. Children can draw and
paint with clouds, cotton candy, or messy monsters, without leaving a
mess.
-- Multiple child profiles: Each member of the family has their own
personal profile to create and share.
-- Offline accessibility: Drawp is designed for families at home or on the
go with online and offline accessibility.
-- Better than a refrigerator magnet: Drawp is an exciting new way to
showcase a child's boundless creativity to friends and family over
email, social networks, or in the app.
