Offering a library of more than 500 interactive cards, personalized videos and customized messages, Pinnatta is the only app that uses the latest smartphone and operating system capabilities where recipients can touch, rub, shake, swipe, pinch, or blow on their phones in order to experience the message instead of just reading it.

'This new round of funding will help us bring Pinnatta to more regions and more devices like the iPad in the in the coming year, in addition to hiring new talent so we can continue to find the best way for you to communicate with your loved ones!'
