On Google Play Store, the messaging application has now entered the “5,000,000-10,000,000” installs range. It even topped the list of free apps on Apple’s app store recently.

It’s a messaging app focused on privacy and trust which allows it users send one another anonymous messages.

The social network is patterned to let users send and receive honest feedback and learn what people think about you. Sarahah, which means “honesty or “candour” in Arabic, started life as a workplace feedback tool but was expanded after teens started using it on Snapchat.
