Comoyo: The “Khati Bangali” Messenger
“Bhalo achhi bhalo theko, akasher thikanay chithi lekho”. When Rudro Mohammed Shadiullah wrote these words, they were merely his way of being romantic, but this statement has never been truer than it is now – in the age of the internet.
The internet opened up an abundance of communication channels. It started out with simple text-based emails. Now it has spread out over a plethora of communication platforms that allow you to express yourself in the most creative of ways. That, however, is old news.
We have already adopted these tools in their day-to-day lives. WhatsApp, Viber, Line, Snapchat and others – we use them all. But for many, there's still something missing in these messenger apps. These apps are mostly developed in the west, which means many of us are deprived of our favourite – uniquely Bengali – ways of expressing ourselves when we communicate digitally.
Enter Comoyo. The first messenger app made specifically with Bangladeshi youth in mind. Comoyo calls itself the “Khati Bangali Messenger”, and it lives up to that claim in every way possible – from design right down to execution. But the best part about Comoyo is not its interface, nor its group and voice messaging features and quirky Bangla vernacular; it is the huge range of culturally relevant and vibrant stickers that allow you to express yourself in the most Bengali way possible.
The stickers come in different sets tailored to fit the personalities and daily lives of a young Bangladeshi. There are stickers for the 'lover-boy' type (Cool Shoriful), the 'bubbly vibrant girl' type (Baby Doll), the 'bhabi' type, and many more. Comoyo also has an array of contextual stickers that cover a wide variety of Bangladeshi situations and elements like daily hangouts, winter time conversations, popular proverbs, local sayings and more.
In short, Comoyo is the perfect app for the regular Bangladeshi to express him/herself fully in the digital age. Nothing need be lost in spelling or translation ever again. Download it for free from Google Play to try it out. If you're a Bangladeshi, this might be the only messenger app you'll ever need.
