SAN FRANCISCO/PRNewswire/ -- Lango today announced the launch of its new mobile application for iPhone and Android users. This app takes visual messaging to the next level by empowering users to text with daily content based on the latest and greatest news, celebrities gossip, entertainment, and social trends. Lango users can easily elaborate basic words and phrases with images that depict emotion, humor and self-expression, both for peer-to-peer texting and social media posting.

Lango is the first company to summarize daily happenings and social communications by transforming them into relevant textable images. The Lango app also supports 'meme' like social sharing, giving users the freedom to make social commentary on Facebook and Twitter. Its proprietary 'Essence Engine' continuously proposes customized images to personalize each message, eliminating the need for lengthy search within a large, unsorted collection of images. Images can be used to emphasize a feeling or expression, or summarize the idea of an entire text. With its frictionless user interface and innovative navigation, Lango turns message creation into unique, fun and visual art.

Types of Lango messages include: 

Spark :  Lango supports the sending and sharing of "banner-like" images that capture the essence of the text messaging. When a text is created with Lango, the app interprets the focus of the message, automatically inserting an image associated with the text. The user can change the emphasized word or flip through different images to find just the right one that expresses their true intent (Peer-to-peer texting).

Flair:   Lango offers word-over-picture, meme-like images that are easy to share on Facebook, and Twitter.  Choose a background or insert your own photo, write a slogan and add some 'flair' to show exactly what you mean.

"Standard texting is old school and boring," said Dr. Udi Graff, Lango's Chairman & CEO. "Even the ability to send free messages is standard these days, but Lango elevates it to the next level. Lango generates fresh daily content that turns what's happening right now into unique messageable images. Lango is a unique platform for its users' self-expression."

To supplement the release of its daily content, Lango offers special "Premium Packs" for purchase in its in-app virtual store. For simplicity, users can purchase Lango coins in the virtual store to create an endless library of images. Lango's virtual store offers a large variety of themed Premium Packs, including images depicting famed football players as part of the National Football League Player's Association(NFLPA) pack, Gangnam Style, SteamPunk, and many other event-driven exciting visuals and packs.
