According to the latest data from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.similarweb.com\/top-apps\/google\/nepal\/news-magazines\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SimilarWeb<\/a>, the app has emerged as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.similarweb.com\/top-apps\/apple\/nepal\/news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>#1 most downloaded and used news application in Nepal<\/strong><\/a>. But its rise is not limited to Nepal alone. The app is also rapidly climbing the charts in countries like the <strong>United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Malaysia, and Romania<\/strong>, indicating growing popularity among the global Nepali diaspora.<\/p>\n<p>On Android\u2019s Google Play Store, <a href=\"https:\/\/nepalinewshub.com\/?p=2884\">Kamko App<\/a> currently holds the <strong>#1 position in the News &#038; Magazines category in Nepal<\/strong>, while on the Apple App Store (iPhone), it consistently maintains the <strong>top spot<\/strong> among Nepali users. Internationally, the app has achieved the <strong>#2 rank in the UAE<\/strong>, <strong>#3 in Saudi Arabia<\/strong>, <strong>#4 in Malaysia<\/strong>, and climbed to <strong>#15 in Romania<\/strong>. It is also making noticeable progress in <strong>Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>What makes this success truly remarkable is that the Kamko App is not backed by any tech giant or corporate venture capital. It is the result of the <strong>independent effort of investigative journalist Roshan Shrestha and a small team<\/strong> of dedicated developers. The app was built with a clear mission: to offer <strong>verified, ad-free, and 100% free digital services<\/strong> to Nepali users, both in Nepal and abroad.<\/p>\n<p>Out of its <strong>24 integrated features<\/strong>, approximately <strong>80% are usable offline<\/strong>. Among its most widely used tools is the <strong>Visa Status Checker<\/strong>, which supports <strong>visa verification for 19 countries<\/strong>, including South Korea, Japan, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, and Israel.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to visa services, the app includes a full <strong>Nepali calendar with date conversion<\/strong>, <strong>verified news updates in both English and Nepali<\/strong>, direct links to <strong>government service portals<\/strong>, real-time tools such as <strong>forex rates<\/strong> and <strong>NEPSE index tracking<\/strong>, and offline utilities including <strong>EMI calculators, VAT, SIP, BMI, and pregnancy trackers<\/strong>. A smart AI assistant named <strong>RoshanGPT<\/strong> is also integrated into the platform.<\/p>\n<p>All features are <strong>100% free of charge<\/strong>, with no ads, subscriptions, or login requirements, making the app especially popular among <strong>migrant Nepali communities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The rise of the Kamko App represents a strong case of <strong>digital self-reliance in Nepal<\/strong>. <a href=\"https:\/\/wikinp.org\/wiki\/roshan-shrestha\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roshan Shrestha<\/a> has demonstrated that world-class civic technology can be built <strong>within Nepal, for Nepalis worldwide<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Last update: Saturday, 3 January 2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A breakthrough in Nepal\u2019s digital innovation sector has been achieved by a locally developed app, Kamko App. According to the latest data from SimilarWeb, the app has emerged as the #1 most downloaded and used news application in Nepal.
