Today the world has become a global village. We live in an era when most of the countries are democratic in nature. And one of the most important pillars of a nation is its MEDIA. The media is responsible for showing the true face and the conditions of a nation.
Sagoon – A Social Commerce Platform
As we talk about the faces in which media has emerged over the recent years, Social Media turns out to be the newest born baby with a lot of potential in it. Yes, social media has taken the world by storm. People can now do a two-way communication which was missing during the era of TVs, Newspapers, and transistors. Social Media is one of the most powerful gifts that the internet has provided us with.
Social media has made it possible that the power lies in the hands of the people and thus, they can together raise their voice if they find something unusual around them. Moreover, people of different opinions have the chance to put forward their views in a rightful manner.
Welcome to the Revolution. Some commentators have claimed that social media overtook pornography as the top activity on the web; that claim comes from informal estimates and could not be traced to a verifiable study. A new era of Social Media has begun.
Sagoon is one such app that aims at taking the social networking field to another level. Sagoon is free to download (its Google Play listing notes that it contains ads) and is built around the company’s stated path: Connect. Share. Earn. Sagoon launched its first mobile app on Android in January 2018 and released it on iOS in 2019, according to the company’s filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). As of September 2026, the Android app is listed on Google Play, while a search of Apple’s App Store in the US, India and Nepal returned no Sagoon listing.
When this article was first written, Sagoon offered a suite of features – MyDay, Story Sharing and MoodTalk – each presented as a separate tool for strengthening personal connections. Sagoon’s own SEC filings say the company shut down its story-sharing, communication and chatting tools in 2022 while it rebuilt the platform, so the sections below describe the earlier version of the app.
Below are the main features of the original Sagoon app, as they were described at the time:
1) Sagoon’s My Day
MyDay was described as a smart organizer that showed how a user’s day looked alongside family and friends, to simplify daily life at home and at work. MyDay is not mentioned in Sagoon’s current Google Play description (September 2026).
2) Sagoon’s Story Sharing
The story sharing is an information, experience, confession or incidence which you’ve never disclosed publicly in words. But, if disclosed, it can make people learn something significant. This feature is designed with the idea of building a transparent society and improving the quality of a personal life. Sharing a story might become a bonding agent and a gift to others.
As originally described, a story could contain up to 220 characters and up to three images. As a user, you can post your story (photos and video) under the “Open” category, allowing all of your contacts to view, like, dislike or comment on it. While posting you can choose to hide your identity. You can also send one-on-one story messages which will vanish after they are read.
The most interesting and unique aspect of sharing a story is “tracking,” which means you can see the number and the names of locations your story has traveled to.
3) Sagoon’s MoodTalk
MoodTalk was a simple chatting tool that let a user’s mood do the talking; Sagoon’s 2023 SEC filings say the app’s chatting tools were shut down in 2022 during a platform rebuild. You simply switch your mood happy, sad, sick, etc to express what you feel. As in real life where we do not record all things we say, in MoodTalk your chats also vanish automatically after 24 hours.
One of the unique features of sagoon is that it saves time, unlike other chat applications that are based on the p-2-p network. The advantage of sagoon over the other networks is that it helps you know what mood the person on the received end has, thus, making it easier for you to text relevantly and at times, save you from some of the major disasters which might happen due to these mood swings.
4) Sagoon’s Web
Sagoon also offered a web version for desktop and mobile browsers, built with the Angular framework. When checked in September 2026, neither sagoon.com nor the gifting site gifts.sagoon.com (named in the company’s 2023 SEC filing) loaded, so the Android app is the main way to reach the service.
Conclusion: The final verdict
In short, Sagoon started as a social networking app built around “Connect. Share. Earn.” and has since turned into a social gifting app. Readers who want to try it can find the Android version on Google Play. The app was rated 4.8 out of 5 when this review was first published; as of September 2026, its Google Play listing shows 3.9 out of 5 from 3.65K reviews.

What Is Sagoon Today?
Sagoon today is a social gifting app. In its semiannual report for the period ended June 30, 2023, Sagoon Inc. describes itself as “a social gifting platform” whose mission is to build emotional bonds through gift-giving and to turn gift-giving into economic rewards for users.
According to the same filing, Sagoon discovered structural and scalability problems with its platform in January 2022, decided to rebuild it from scratch, and shut down features such as story sharing, communication and chatting tools. The rebuilt platform launched in July 2022 with a basic gift-giving feature as a beta limited to India and Nepal, together with Scratch Card, a digital game offering cash rewards of up to Rs. 50 a day for use in Sagoon’s in-app store, and Deals, a section of discounted merchant items.
What Does the Sagoon App Do Now?
The current Sagoon app, titled “Sagoon – Connect. Share. Earn” on Google Play, is organized around celebrations and gifts. As of September 2026, its Google Play description lists these features:

- Wishlist: build a list of items from Sagoon’s gift store that guests can see during live celebrations and gift chats.
- Gift Chat: choose and send a gift from inside a conversation.
- Gift Store: send a gift to a recipient’s mobile number without knowing their delivery address, with cross-border gifting to India and Nepal.
