From siliconrepublic.ie, 11th Oct 2013
The Dublin-based interactive games and book publisher's latest app Goodnight Mo has gone to No 1 in the Books category of the US App Store charts.
Goodnight Mo is the company's first app based on a completely new and original character and story, and was conceived and developed in-house in Dublin.
Originally known as Ideal Binary, StoryToys was founded by brothers Aidan and Kevin Doolan and in 2011 games industry veteran Barry O'Neill came on board as CEO.
Employing 25 people, the company has raised investment from a number of investors, including Leaf Investments, Enterprise Ireland and AIB Seed Capital Fund, co-managed by Enterprise Equity Venture Capital.
O'Neill told Silicon Republic: "We are delighted and proud that Goodnight Mo has proven such a hit with parents and children around the world," and "Its success demonstrates that the StoryToys team can produce original content to compete with the biggest names in children's entertainment."
