September was a big month for StockYatra. We added a whole new way to learn, put every lesson on video in three languages, made chat faster and friendlier, and raised the reward for rating the app. Here is everything that is new, and how to find it.
In short
- Watch feed: every app video in one swipeable feed, with likes, comments, shares and saves.
- All 117 lessons now open with an explainer video in Nepali, English or Hindi.
- Six chat shortcuts (** ## !! $$ ?? %%) turn into rich cards.
- New Loved by Users screen, a 20,000-coin Rate Us bonus, Promote & Earn for creators, and a faster app overall.
The Watch feed
Tap the red Watch button in the Home or chat header to open a vertical feed of every StockYatra video: short Nepali help videos, safety videos, all the lesson explainers and creator clips. Swipe up for the next one; like, comment, share to a friend or Global chat, and save for later. A search gallery filters by help, lessons, creators, saved and popular. Full guide: learn the stock market in the Watch feed.
Lesson videos in Nepali, English and Hindi
Every one of the Academy's 117 lessons now opens with a short explainer video, made for phone screens, with word-by-word captions and a recap at the end. A switch above the video changes the language between Nepali, English and Hindi, and StockYatra remembers your choice. Read how it works in a stock market course in Nepali, English and Hindi.
Chat shortcuts
Type one of six two-character shortcuts on its own in chat and it becomes a rich card when you send it:
**a Rate Us card: rate StockYatra and get 20,000 coins, once.##your invite card with your referral code: a friend who joins and verifies gets 12,000 coins in total, and you get 5,000.!!a scam alert: StockYatra never asks for money, an OTP or bank details.$$the answer to "can I withdraw?": no, coins are for practice only.??a welcome card for new traders, with how to get started.%%a live market snapshot across Nepal, India and Forex.
They are especially handy for answering the same questions newcomers ask every day, and for stepping in quickly when someone mentions a suspicious offer. Shortcuts only work as the whole message: type !! and send, and the card appears for everyone in the chat. Links in the cards point to StockYatra's own pages, so they are always safe to tap.
Chat is faster
Messages now send almost instantly and show delivery and read ticks in direct messages. In Global chat you can see who has seen a message. If you are new to chat, start with Global chat for Nepali traders.
Loved by Users
A new Loved by Users screen, in the menu under Rewards & Learning, shows StockYatra's ratings and written reviews from the App Store and Google Play in one place, including our replies. Reviews refresh automatically every few hours after the stores publish them. It also shows how many traders have claimed the Rate Us reward.
Rate Us bonus: now 20,000 coins
The one-time bonus for rating StockYatra is now 20,000 coins, up from 5,000. Traders who had already claimed the old bonus received a top-up, so everyone who rated gets the same. Rating opens your phone's own review sheet; honest reviews help us most, and they help other learners find the app.
Promote & Earn
If you make a public post or video about StockYatra, submit the link on the Promote & Earn screen. The team reviews it, usually within one to three days, and rewards approved posts with 1 lakh to 10 lakh practice coins depending on quality and reach. The screen now has an explainer video and a wall of creators who have already taken part. The rules: your own original content, clearly about StockYatra, and never any claim of real money or guaranteed profit.
A faster app
Screens open the moment you tap, sheets slide smoothly, and the whole app feels lighter. Most of these improvements download in the background and apply the next time you open StockYatra, so you rarely need to reinstall from the store. If something looks old, close the app fully and open it again.
Still true: free, virtual, education-first
None of this changes the basics. StockYatra is free, with 10,000 starting coins and no fee per trade. Coins are virtual and cannot be withdrawn. We show data and teach skills, and never give buy or sell advice. For the bigger picture of where we are heading, read our vision and why StockYatra aims to be the world's best paper trading app. Earlier this month we also launched weekly leagues and the daily call and the Yatra Bazaar.
