Some quotes:

THE NEW PAPER - "The idea to bring the kampung spirit to a digital platform came to them in a bar."

THE STRAITS TIMES - "The concept is simple: Users post comments or photos of anything they find interesting, which appears on a map as a feecha - a speech bubble-shaped cartoon creature."

HARDWARE ZONE - "The potential uses are vast - from foodies sharing pictures of delicious food at a particular restaurant to shoppers alerting others of a great sale at a shopping mall."

WIRED MAGAZINE - "feecha is a unique app that enables you to find whats hot now in your location by screening content from all over the web."

TECH IN ASIA - "It offers something different from traditional news reader apps. Since it’s a location-first news reader app, users also can discover information that’s not necessarily news-related. For example, when reading a food review tagged to my neighborhood, I learned about a cool ice cream place about 400 meters from my house that I had never heard of before."

VULCAN POST - "Jaded by throngs of irrelevant posts? Feecha might just be the solution you need."

YAHOO! - "The potential is undeniable."

STUFF MAGAZINE - "An amazing Singaporean app." 5 out of 5 stars.

APPLE - Featured on the iTunes homepage.
