Talking Angela
Talking Angela: The Original Parisian Interaction
Talking Angela is the debut app for the character Talking Angela, first released in December 2012 for iOS and January 2013 for Android. Distinct from the later virtual pet hit My Talking Angela, Talking Angela features an interactive companion set in a fashionable café in Paris.
Interactive Core Gameplay
Talking Angela focuses on real-time social interaction.
Parisian Activities: Players can interact with the environment by pressing the "Fortune Cookie" button for words of wisdom or the "Gift" button to open presents.
Signature Interaction: Like other Talking Friends, Talking Angela repeats spoken words in a unique voice and reacts to tactile gestures such as petting or poking.
Customization: Users can purchase chic accessories, makeup, and even drinks that result in special visual effects.
Privacy & Safety: Entertainment For All Ages
The game appeals to a broad audience and it is rooted in Outfit7’s philosophy of creating "meaningful experiences that look, play, and feel good".
For All Ages: The game is explicitly designed to provide "endless entertainment for players of all ages".
Safe Environment: The broader Talking Tom & Friends universe is described as a "safe place for the whole family to enjoy", and Talking Angela shares this DNA, focusing on a rewarding, relaxing, and positive experience.
Major Milestones and Recognition
Chart Success: The app reached the top 10 free iPhone apps in early 2015, becoming the 3rd most popular app overall during that period.
Franchise Catalyst: The success of this original interactive experience led directly to the creation of the virtual pet sequel, My Talking Angela, which reached #1 in 118 countries within weeks of its own 2014 launch.
Industry Recognition: As part of the broader Talking Tom & Friends franchise, the character helped secure Outfit7's position as a top-tier publisher, eventually contributing to the brand's milestone of over 25 billion downloads worldwide.
