REVIEWS
"With over 100,000 apps in the app store, it's getting harder and harder to find something new; Balloons! is something I haven't seen before, and it's really very clever." www.tuaw.com
"Balloons reminds me of the message-in-a-bottle feeling of the early days of the Internet -- 'Hey, who else is out there?'" - http://downloadsquad.com/
"This is a great idea, and bound to go down very well with your kids." - http://www.cultofmac.com
"Balloons! is a fascinating concept that is executed well. It’s fun, easy to pick-up-and-play, and draws a bridge between the traditional idea of a physical balloon experiment and virtual social networking. 8/10" http://mac.appstorm.net

By putting your twitter name on your balloon tag people can tweet you when they catch your balloon!
Scan the sky and catch the balloons of others. Add your own message tag and release them back, high into the air, to travel to who knows where? Why not Tweet to say you've found them!
Balloons! Lite - the environmentally friendly alternative to a real helium balloon launch.
