About This App

**Status: Roposo appears to be shut down.** This page was previously written in the present tense and overstated the service as live; that was wrong, and the checks below were run on 29 August 2026. Three independent signals agree: 1. **The website does not serve pages.** roposo.com resolves to CloudFront and completes both the TCP connection and the TLS handshake, but every HTTPS request returns 0 bytes and times out — reproduced on four separate attempts across two days, on both a loaded and an idle machine, while a known-good control URL returned 200 each time. The apex redirects (HTTP 301) to https://roposo.com/, which then hangs. That is a dead origin behind a live CDN, not a network problem at our end. 2. **The Android apps are delisted.** Both `com.roposo.android` and `com.roposo.clout` return Google Play's not-found page. In the same batch and by the same method, `com.glance.internet` (Glance, the same parent company) and `in.mohalla.video` (ShareChat) both returned full ~1.3 MB listings — so the check was demonstrably able to find a live app and did not. 3. **There is a first-party wind-down notice.** Roposo Clout Marketplace states that it "has concluded its operations", with all marketplace services — order placement, supplier listings, invoice generation — permanently discontinued effective 1 April 2026, a 30 June 2026 deadline for unresolved settlements, and support available only through June 2026. We have not found a public announcement covering the main Roposo app itself, so the precise scope and date of its closure are unconfirmed. What is verified is that the website serves nothing and the apps are no longer downloadable. **What Roposo was.** Acquired by Glance (an InMobi Group subsidiary) in 2019, Roposo pivoted from a short-video app into what it billed as India's first creator-led live commerce platform: creators ran multi-brand pop-up stores inside a virtual mall, selling in real time while streaming. At its peak the company reported 80 million monthly active users, 500,000+ creators and 50 million+ Google Play downloads, with Glance's Android lock-screen integration said to drive roughly 90% of viewership — a distribution advantage no competing Indian app had. Roposo Clout added Shopify-integrated dropshipping. The app was free for viewers; revenue came from commerce commissions, brand deals and virtual gifts. **If you used Roposo**, the live-commerce and short-video niches it occupied are now served by other Indian apps — see the alternatives listed on this page.

What needs improvement

  • -Appears shut down — roposo.com serves no page and both Android apps are delisted from Google Play (checked 29 Aug 2026)
  • -Roposo Clout Marketplace formally ceased operations on 1 April 2026; the support window closed at the end of June 2026
  • -No public announcement found for the main app's closure, so users were given little or no notice
  • -Sellers with unsettled Clout balances had only until 30 June 2026 to raise a claim — that deadline has passed
  • -While live, entertainment content was thinner than Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts, and the app was slow to upload video

Common user complaints

  • !App is very slow — profile pictures don't update and videos take long to upload
  • !Sign-in process can take up to 2 days for some users
  • !Roposo Clout sellers report stores blocked for 'high cancellation rate' even with valid reasons
  • !Customer support responses are generic and don't address specific issues
  • !Video quality compression is noticeable compared to Instagram or YouTube

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Roposo shut down?

It appears so. As of 29 August 2026, roposo.com completes a TLS handshake but returns no page on repeated attempts, and both Roposo Android packages (com.roposo.android and com.roposo.clout) are delisted from Google Play — while apps from the same parent company still return full listings, so the check was working. Separately, Roposo Clout Marketplace published a notice that it 'has concluded its operations' effective 1 April 2026. Glance and InMobi have not published an announcement covering the main Roposo app, so the exact date and scope are unconfirmed.

Why can't I open roposo.com or download the Roposo app?

Because the service is no longer running. The domain still resolves and its CDN still answers, which is why the site looks like it is merely slow rather than gone — but the origin server behind it returns nothing at all. The apps have been removed from Google Play, so new downloads are not possible. If you still have the app installed it is unlikely to work, since it depends on servers that are not responding.

I sold on Roposo Clout and have money owed to me. What can I do?

The formal window has closed. Roposo Clout's own notice set 30 June 2026 as the deadline to contact support (support@roposo.com) about unresolved settlements or pending queries, and said the support team would be available only through June 2026. That date has passed. Any remaining claim is now a matter for the parent company, InMobi Group, rather than the Roposo support channel.

Who owned Roposo?

Glance, a subsidiary of the Bengaluru-headquartered InMobi Group, which acquired Roposo in 2019. Glance itself is still operating — its lock-screen product ships on many Android handsets in India and remains listed on Google Play.

What are the Indian alternatives to Roposo?

For short video, Moj (Mohalla Tech, the ShareChat company), Josh (Dailyhunt) and Chingari are the main homegrown options. For live commerce specifically there is no direct Indian replacement at Roposo's former scale; most live selling in India has moved onto Instagram, YouTube and the marketplaces' own in-app live features.
