A little bit about us…
We’re a small family business founded in 2011, driven to create fun educational apps for all ages. Our apps were inspired by our very own children so we understand the needs of kids and parents.
Our goal is to promote and sustain the Greek language and culture for all Greek language enthusiasts and their kids living abroad.
The incredible feedback from our users gives us the drive to create new apps. We have so many ideas and we need your support.

foo solutions
foosol is an Information Technology company and stands for “foo” “solutions“. The word “foo” is an arbitrary name in computer programming, introduced on first day in Computer Science class.
The word “foo” emerged during the early 1930s, first being used by cartoonist, Bill Holman. He said that he used the word after seeing it on bottom of a jade Chinese figurine in Chinatown, San Francisco. It means “good luck”. Bill Holman infused his Smokey Stover fireman cartoon strips with “foo” signs and puns.
Smokey Stover’s catch phrase was “where there’s foo, there’s fire“. Ours is “where there’s foo, there’s fun!“
