Share your feelings without words
“This fun and innovative app is going to change the way the world reviews anything, and change the way market research is collected and shared.”
Matt Marshall, Executive Producer, DEMO.com
The Smurks® app lets you send messages to friends or tag the places you love (or don’t) with exactly what you feel.
Give us just one minute and we’ll show you how.
Our team previewed the Smurks mood data system at DEMO Spring 2012. Watch the presentation and picture the possibilities — play the DEMO presentation (5:30 min).
The app
The original iPhone, iPad and iPod touch app has been retired from the App Store. A cross-platform rebuild is in the works.
