### 2/5 — Broken and riddled with bugs

*2024-03-09*

At first I couldn’t even save a profile picture, I had it for a while and the Trending, Explore and Discover screens do not work and nothing is loaded.
The idea behind Koo is great, it has potential of becoming something big but the execution is failing big time. Wish I could give it more. Work on rolling more frequent updates.

**Developer response:** We appreciate your feedback and apologize for the inconvenience you've faced. We're constantly working to improve the app's performance and features. Please ensure you have the latest version of Koo installed, as updates often include bug fixes and improvements. If you continue to experience issues with saving profile pictures or accessing certain screens, please reach out to our support team at redressal@kooapp.com for further assistance. Thank you for your patience and continued support.

### 2/5 — Annoying

*2023-04-08*

Would be a useful app if tapping on a notification took the user to the specific story instead of the page for the source. Without that feature, the app is a waste of time as you have to scroll to find each story. 

In sum, notifications are pointless.

**Developer response:** Dear user, Thank you for your review and feedback on our app. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the current functionality of the notifications. We appreciate your suggestion and would like to inform you that we will work to implement it in our future updates. Your feedback helps us improve our app and provide a better user experience.

We kindly request you update your review after the implementation of the new feature and let us know if you have any other suggestions or concerns. Your opinion matters to us, and we strive to make our app the best it can be. Thank you for using our app.
For any concerns, mail us at redressal@kooapp.com.

### 5/5 — Wonderful Job

*2022-12-17, version v0.0.90*

This is the kind if app i was looking, very we’ll build app.

Please adjust the color Tone of the app and logo so that it can catch more attention from people.

I will spread the word as much as i can. Thanks.

**Developer response:** Dear User, it is delightful to hear such positive words and it’s always a pleasure to give the best to our users. Please spread the word amongst your friends & family. If you have any suggestions or questions, please feel free to contact us at redressal@kooapp.com, we would love to hear from you. Regards, Team Koo.

### 5/5 — New social media

*2022-11-24, version v0.0.83*

I heard about this app because my friends were talking about it, it looks nice and the design good make sure to add updates and change things about this app, you devs dont have to but just a tip :)

**Developer response:** Hello , Thanks for reviewing. With each new version of the app, we are introducing new features and improving existing ones. Keep supporting us and feel free to write us your valuable comments and suggestions at redressal@kooapp.com. Sincerely, Koo

### 4/5 — Koo in Brazil: fun! (For now)

*2022-11-19, version v0.0.81*

I hope the team working on the app can help prevent misinformation and hate speech on this platform. We Brazilians are having so much fun (for now) because digital militias are not on Koo, so it feels like a healthy and safe space to connect. But they will be on the app at some point.

Since 2018 we’ve been tracking these groups who are spreading hate and low-quality content to influence elections. Profiles that represent “news” websites, as well bots and fake profiles spreading hate by using a limited vocabulary. Silicon Valley companies did close to nothing to prevent them from spreading lies, which created a lot of harm to the Brazilian people since 2013. Please keep it safe! You will thrive and gain our respect.

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for rating Koo. We are a platform that gives voice to users without discrimination of party, group or section. Requesting you to share any concerning posts to redressal@kooapp.com. If you are satisfied, please rate us with 5 stars

### 1/5 — Not working in English

*2022-11-18, version v0.0.81*

Selected English. App won’t let me app my photo to profile. Have to skip/continue after failed message trying to add profile photo.
Then I’m given the Home Screen which is all in another language other then English. 
The Home Screen just flickers with a loading icon in the middle. 
No tapping if any link or button changes the view. Nothing happens but flickering. 

Not sure how this is the replacement for twitter when it doesn’t work.

### 4/5 — iPad version

*2022-11-05, version v0.0.77*

It would be great if the developers could make an app that is compatible with an iPad. In the current iPad version, the mobile app is being replicated on the iPad. A native iPad app would be really nice and cater to a wider audience.

**Developer response:** Hey Badrinath, 

Certainly that is a valid point for us to work upon. Once we complete getting our iOS app experience better by a few notches, we shall think upon native iPad development too.

To know more, feel free to reach us at redressal@kooapp.com & encourage us with 5 stars rating, while we work on making it happen.
~Regards, Team Koo.

### 3/5 — Need improvement

*2022-06-03, version v0.0.68*

Please add thumb down icon. Lots of posts needs thumb down.

The new version is not working on iPhone with Hindi language. It used to work prior. 
It does not convert and it print mixed letters Hindi and English.

### 3/5 — Very good app*

*2021-12-20, version 0.0.54*

Its a very good aap and feels amazing. Good to see such apps coming from india. 
The issues i see are, i am not able to find my location “Florida” in app and also the Help and feedback section is not working either. Beside that its a good app. 👍

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2021-09-27, version 0.0.51*
