Everloop Goobit  presents a variety of features that offer the ultimate mobile solution to what both kids and parents are looking for today.  Safety features, including required parental verification and moderated communication (preventing bad language and cyber bullying), are combined with entertainment-oriented capabilities that reflect major mobile and digital trends today. 

"Our goal for Goobit was to combine the key social features kids are looking for on a mobile device into one easy app," says Hilary DeCesare, CEO and Co-Founder of Everloop. "Now, kids can stay in touch no matter where they are using a safer, secure and fun resource that's truly the first-of-its-kind."

Everloop Goobit gives users the ability to post, comment, share and "like" things on their own loops and or loops of their choosing. Unlike the popular photo-sharing app, Instagram, which makes all posts accessible to every one of the users' followers, Goobit allows kids to decide which loops they want to post to. This new development enables kids to share posts and photos with as few or as many friends as they choose.

The new app also includes Everloop's signature "Goobs" feature, the extremely popular practical joke system exclusive to Everloop users.  Kids can now "Goob" each other, splattering virtual bugs or pulling the ultimate virtual "toilet papering" prank on each other's mobile screens.

"Kids are increasingly accessing digital technology through mobile devices, and current estimates place mobile phone access among kids under 13 already around 60%," says Sandy Barger, Chief Marketing Officer.  "Goobit embraces this social movement by providing kids and tweens the most captivating aspects of social networking capabilities in a fun, easy app that contains the advanced safety features of Everloop."

Goobit is releasing just in time for Halloween so kids can take part in the Goobit Halloween Decorations Contest.  Through Nov. 1^st, kids can upload pictures of the craziest, spookiest and wackiest Halloween decorations that they see for a chance to win EverCredits.  EverCredits are used to buy premium virtual goods on Everloop. 10 winners will be selected.
