Here in sunny California, our city goes to great lengths to build an ice skating rink from scratch so we can enjoy a little winter wonderland, even if it’s just for a few weeks.

Not ones to miss a chance at fun and a little danger, Pinger employees strapped on our ice skates for a cruise around the rink. Well…some of us cruised. Some spun around and did cartwheels, and some of us just sort of…persisted. Nobody broke anything, though, so we consider the outing a “win”.

You’ll be happy to know the quality of our apps far eclipses the caliber of our skating (and video making).

This week we got an email that really touched our hearts. Carie wrote in that her family uses Textfree to stay in touch with her husband while he is stationed overseas.

Here’s part of her sweet email:

“Hello to the Pinger Family!!
I just wanted to tell you how grateful my husband and I are to you for creating such an amazing application for our iPhones! The newest version with voicemail is excellent!!! The calls are clear, we can text back and forth while he uses his iPhone as an iPod in wifi areas. WE are grateful to you, I can call my husband and it’s as if he’s sitting next to me talking, even though he’s so far away! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! You have made a Military Family very happy!!!”

Thank you, Carie! We hope you and your husband enjoy the free minutes we sent your way 🙂

It’s Biggest Fan Friday!

We’ve been getting so much great feedback, and usually it’s very difficult to pick a winner. Recently, we’ve been getting TONS of wonderful emails, Facebook posts, and blog comments.

Well, Pingsters, prepare yourselves for the awesomeness that is Addie! She wrote a persuasive essay for her class on Textfree!

Here’s part of her essay:

“As you know, a letter only has three body paragraphs so I picked three out of a million great things Textfree does to make your life easier. They didn’t make this app for them, they made it for you. When you use Textfree, you really feel like a queen. Almost Everything you need is there for you. I’m a Textfree user, and I have been completely satisfied with this app. All the things I wrote about, really stood out to me. I hope this letter really got to you, and now you’re going to go install Textfree, pick your number, and start using it right away.”

Hope you got an A++++, Addie! Thanks for sending this to us.
