🥳 What people are saying:
“Such a delightful tool to send a little love to people from afar. More personal and sweet than a plain venmo. Like a modern-day candygram for the digital age.” -A

"Such a cool and unique concept. I absolutely love the fact that you can send fun gifts to show you are thinking of your special someone without being physically in person." - Couple Travel The World
💖 We would love your feedback!
We are just getting started and have several things in the works! Please feel free to share your thoughts and feedback. We look forward to hearing from you! 😻
@nikkielizdemere@courtneyruth This is really and interesting idea! Is like turn something ordinary into something extraordinary. Congrats on the launch!
KOYA makes it possible to show up for the people I care about with an encouraging message, funny cat video, or song they might enjoy. With everything going on in the world, it’s nice to see tech that aims to make the world a better place.
Love the concept really! Can someone who has not downloaded KOYA receive something from someone who did? How does the sending and receiving process work?
Best of luck for what's to come!
@rubenwolff Yes. You can use the web version of KOYA to send to anyone and they can receive it without downloading an app. The mobile app version currently requires the receiver to have the app downloaded as well to receive a location triggered KOYA. We will hunt this version of KOYA at a later date. Stay tuned.
@abeykoshyitty WOW! Thank you so much for your really kind review, Abey. 💜 It means the world that you took the time to give it a whirl already!! I hope your friend feels delighted getting your KOYA!!! I
It's great that someone has actually thought about it. I'm such a procrastinator when it comes to wishing someone a happy birthday 😇 I see how this app will make my life way easier!
@eve_rad Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! Sometimes I procrastinate or downright forget about birthdays too. KOYA has saved me a few times already! I hope it really does make your life easier + helps you 'show up' for people you care about.
Hey @courtneyruth
Congrats on your launch
May I suggest adding a QRcode here
https://getkoya.com/the-app
Story:
As a lazy visitor of your website
I can scan a QR code with my phone from my laptop screen
So that I don't need to type the name of your app on the store
3 seconds saved,
It sparks joy ✨
@flexbox This is a brilliant idea! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I agree, adding a QRcode is wicket smart! I'm grateful to be connected to you and look forward to learning more from you (a true gift)! 💖
Great work Koya team! Such a useful product in these times where folks are working remotely from various locations. Love the idea of spreading joy while you are away from loved ones.
KOYA is just what we need, now and always. I've received a KOYA and it is a delightful and special moment. For all those times you're thinking of someone...now it's easy to to show it. I think I need to share this with my BF (hint, hint)
@amy_giddon1 Amy!!! Thank you so much for this thoughtful comment! I'm so happy to hear that your experience with KOYA so far has been such a delight! 🥰 Sounds like your BF needs to send you a KOYA soon 😜
@philipg Thanks, Philip! Great q! No, the recipient does not need to sign up to receive their micro-gift. In the KOYA web version it simply pops up through Venmo. We decided to go a P2P route in order to scale faster than working with each individual POS. Let me know if you have any other Qs! We appreciate your support!!!!
So happy to see you on Product Hunt @courtneyruth ! Cnograts and yay for KOYA! My favorite thing about it is being able to schedule KOYAs to show up later on a special day. 📅💞🥰
@courtneyruth@katvellos YAYYYYY!!!!! I love the scheduling feature too. It helps me plan ahead AND be able to put all my love into a thoughtful message when I have the energy and creativity for it!! 💛🥰 Thank you so much for your constant support and encouragement!!!
I love that it is a channel of goodness, it is a good reminder to send kind, encouraging, comforting messages to those you care about. It's a really nice simple start and I can see a lot of potential. I tried it and things that popped in my mind are; access to your contacts, a place to add important dates that can remind you if you haven't sent a koya yet, visibility on the koyas I've sent (btw only used web), easier way to share with friends, link to gift sites with an option to buy and send through koya (rev opportunity)..hope that is anyway helpful. Wish you all the best in spreading kindness.
@shelley_beeston Shelley!! THANK you so much!!! I so appreciate the time, thought and effort you put into trying web KOYA!! Your feedback is so wonderful and definitely appreciated. 🥰 The app version addresses *most* of the ideas that came to your mind!! YOU ARE SO BRILLIANT!! So grateful for you and your support! 🙏
@shilohjohnson Thank you so much, Shiloh!!! I used to travel 80% of the year for work and it was so hard to remember special events, let alone actually be in a place where I could do something about it... KOYA would have saved me so many times if I had it back them!! Let me know what you think once you give it a whirl!!! I really appreciate your support!!!
@jeffdyck Hey Jeff, thanks for taking the time to check out the web version. We are hopeful that folks will find value in creating meaningful messages to those they care about.
