The Koo app is the Indian alternative app to the popular microblogging site Twitter.

Users can use the Koo app to express via audios, videos, images, and in text format. Presently, the Koo app supports various Indian languages like Hindi, Kannada, Bengali, Tamil, Malayalam, Gujarati, Marathi, Punjabi, Oriya, Telugu, and Assamese. The Koo app notes there are many celebrities, news channels, journalists, and others on the platform, updating users about some of the happenings around the world.

Once downloaded, the app requires a couple of basic information and asks for your permission to access the camera, and so on. The home page has the Feed tab, which shows all the posts of people you follow. There is also the People tab, which provides suggestions of people you can follow.

Just like Twitter, there is a small '+' button on the bottom part of the page, which allows you to create new Koo posts. You can upload photos, videos, or simply type your opinion, and post it on the platform.
