## Description

Talking Carl is a humorous, kid-friendly talking character app. Children can talk to Carl, hear him repeat words in a goofy voice, feed him bones, tickle him, poke his eyes, pinch him for a growl, and unleash fun actions with simple swipes (up to fly, down for thunder, left/right for turns). Baby mode hides all buttons for younger kids.

This family-friendly extension provides endless playful interactions, safe for kids and enjoyable for parents. Carl has topped worldwide charts and has been featured across the globe.
