Introducing Cinco de Mayo items
Cinco de Mayo is almost here, let’s celebrate!
These holiday themed Items will be available for a limited time only.
This is an important notice for users who have linked their Pococha account to Twitter. Please be sure to read carefully.
Due to recent decisions & actions made by Twitter (X corporation), some 3rd party services (like Pococha) are no longer able to use Twitter’s log in function.
Although this problem has not occurred with Pococha yet, it may happen in the future. Therefor it may be possible that if users log out, they will not be able to log back in via Twitter.
This may cause users with only a twitter login to be unable to access their account.
This is due to Twitter’s (X corporation’s) actions, and while Pococha team cannot predict when the problem will occur, we are doing everything we can to ensure that all Pococha users can use our service with peace of mind.
In this blog, we will update the latest information on “What should users do?” and “How is Pococha handling the issue?”.
What should users do?
In the future, you may not be able to log into Pococha using Twitter. Please link your other accounts additionally for backup!
Please refer to the following article for instructions
If you use Twitter to log in to Pococha, please do not log out of Pococha!
If you switch accounts, you may not be able to log in to your original account again!
To avoid being automatically logged out of Pococha, please do not buy a new device or delete the app.
What happens if you are logged out and unable to connect Pococha to Twitter?
You will not be able to use services that require you to log in to Pococha until the issue is resolved.
You will not be able to broadcast or watch broadcasts
Even on the last day of the event, you may not be able to broadcast or watch broadcasts. Please be aware of the above when entering the event and becoming a Poco Knight.
You will not be able to apply for diamond cash-out.
How is Pococha handling the issue?
We are working on urgent measures to prevent users from being unable to log in using Twitter.
As one of the countermeasures, we are developing a function that allows you to link multiple SNS accounts to a single Pococha account. Once it is developed and released, we will inform everyone of the linkage procedure, so please take action!
We plan for this feature to allow Twitter login users to login using an alternative SNS. But we must develop this feature first, and we are doing so as quickly as possible.
This update is necessary for future support on the Pococha side. We appreciate your cooperation in this matter. We will give the highest priority of our attention & work to minimizing the impact on users and ensuring that you can continue to use Pococha with peace of mind.
We will announce further information on this matter in the form of updates to this blog and other announcements. If you would like to receive the latest updates, please check for new notifications in the Pococha app.
Teamwork is the key to this Event. Broadcasters and viewers, work together to get this party going!
Do you like superheroes? How about the PocoRangers?
We have introduced 5 PocoRangers since last year. PocoRed, PocoYellow, PocoBlue, PocoPurple, and PocoGreen! We hope they caught your eye!
Now, these superheroes will be the focus of our newest event.
Use the specified Items, and become the superhero of your favorite broadcaster!
What is PocoRanger: Team Alliance?
During the event, pure viewers can earn special points called “Ranger Points” by sending each one of the 5 PocoRanger Items.
What Do Ranger Points Do?
The more Ranger Points that a broadcaster has, the higher their Event Point Multiplier will increase! This multiplier provide a bonus to ALL of the broadcaster’s Event Points they collect.
For example, if a broadcaster earns 100,000 Event Points and finishes with a multiplier of 1.2. They’ll have a total of 120,000 Event Points!
Note:
Requirements to be considered as a pure viewer is as below.
Condition 1: Rank is D3 or lower
Condition 2: User who does not have any sub-account that is C1 Rank or higher
Condition 3: User whose account is registered as a US account
At Pococha, we’re always brainstorming new ways to recognize & reward our users.
For the month of April, we will be awarding a new additional Top Broadcaster Diamond Bonus to the Top 25 ranking* broadcasters!
Update: The Top Broadcaster Bonus has been extended into June!
Have you read the Monthly Ranking blog? It is released at the beginning of each month and can be located by clicking on its banner on the home page.
Looking to compete for the Top 25 in April and win the bonus? Be sure to check your progress with the Weekly Ranking articles as well!
The Top 25 broadcasters will receive anywhere from 20,000 to 120,000 Diamonds! For the full list of Top Broadcaster Bonuses, see the chart below.
Let’s create a strategy with our Family to try and reach the Top 25 this month, and earn the awesome bonus.
The new Top Broadcaster Bonus is not a permanent feature, and may be stopped at any time.
Please Note:
*Ranking will be determined by rank order on the monthly ranking blog. Please note, this ranking may be different than the ranking that appears on the app’s Monthly Ranking page.
To be eligible for the bonus & appear in the ranking, a certain percentage of the total support that the Broadcaster receives must be from viewers registered in the same country as such Broadcaster.
Diamonds will be automatically distributed around 10 days after the beginning of the following month.
This diamond bonus is currently only for the month of April, but may be continued at Pococha’s discretion.
We’ve heard from many users who want to be able to reach higher Core Fan and Fan Noise levels after 48K.
So, next month we are introducing a new 50K Core Fan level that will include the new Fan Noise levels of 50K, 52K, 54K, 56K, & 58K!
Additionally, the requirements for many Fan Noise levels below 50K will also be reduced!

Your strongest supporters will now be able to reach this level and attain this golden recognition.
The new Core Fan level is set to be released on April 1!
Updated Fan Noise Requirements
Below are the requirements to reach the new levels.
We have also lowered the amount of days required for Fan Noise levels between 6K and 48K.
Be sure to share this with your Family and get excited to see that shiny new gold in your broadcasts!
Remember, for each Core Fan level the viewer only needs to complete one of the available Requirements. To reach 50K Core Fan, you can complete Requirement 1 OR Requirement 2 OR Requirement 3.

Items take time to be registered & calculated by the Pococha app – especially larger Items!
If Items are tapped too quickly, some may be cancelled any Items that are not counted by our server will be automatically refunded to the user.
Since all users experience the same mechanics during Events, there is no disadvantage to any one user.

Product Updates
Pinned Family Messages
We’ve added a new feature to Family chats!
Now Family owners & admins can pin important messages inside of chat rooms. To pin or unpin a message, hold down on the message.
Family members can access all the pinned messages in one page by clicking on the three dots in the top right of a Family.
New Core Fan & Fan Noise Levels
We heard from many passionate viewers that they wanted higher Core Fan & Fan Noise levels, so we are creating them!
In March we will create a new 50K Core Fan level, with the ability to reach Fan Noise levels every 2K after that up until 58K!
Now broadcasters’ hardest working supporters can be rewarded with this special exclusive level.
Hello users! We have an exciting new feature to share with you today.
The Rank Meter Widget will be coming soon to a Pococha broadcast near you.
Now available!
Both the broadcaster and viewer must update to version 5.25.3 to see the new feature.
In December, we launched the Rank Meter Ranking page. This offered an exciting new way for users to understand and utilize the Rank Meter to their advantage. Most importantly, the Rank Meter Ranking offered vital & instant information to broadcasters and viewers about their performance.
Now, we are bringing all that important information right into the broadcast!
The new Rank Meter Widget will appear in the top right of a broadcast, and display up to date information about the broadcaster’s Rank Meter Ranking. Users will no longer need to flip back and forth between broadcast and page to collect information.
We hope this new widget will help users more aware of their Rank Meter activity, and will use the information to their advantage!
What Will It Show?
Current Rank Meter position.
Current amount of daily Support Points.
If in +2 position, the numbered rank position of the broadcaster.
If in -1, 0, or +1 position – the # of broadcasters above until the next position.
Time left until End Time.
Who Can See It?
The widget will be shown to the broadcaster and all viewers who meet the normal requirements for seeing the broadcaster’s Rank Meter information.
If a broadcaster has a Family with at least 15 members or more, only the Family members will be able to see the widget.
If a broadcaster does not have a Family or it has less than 15 members, the widget will be visible to all viewers.
If a broadcaster is using a Freeze Pass, the widget will not appear during that End Time period.
Additional Details:
Users can access the Rank Meter Ranking page by tapping on the widget.
The page will not be accessible while the Rank Meter is being calculated.
If a broadcaster is participating in an Event, the Event Widget will be shown in place of the Rank Meter Widget.
We’re adding 5 new Items, including the long-awaited Purple Pocoranger.
February’s New Items:
Yum Yum Pizza! (55 coins)
Pocoranger Purple (111 coins)
Friend Message (33 coins)

Friendship Items
Last but certainly not least, we’re releasing 3 new Items that are perfect for showing appreciation to the broadcaster or fellow viewers.

With the expansion of events, divisions, and those who can get prizes, we’ll be introducing a few updates to keep our events exciting and fun!
So what are the updates? They’re called “shareable Family prize” and “event passing line”!
How do these changes affect the current events? Let’s find out!
What are Shareable Family Prizes?
The shareable Family prize event is a new type of Pococha merch event.
If you win shareable Family prize events, you can share the prizes with your supporters, friends, and more via URL! Some of you may already know of this new event from our December 2022 Family Blanket and Family Mug events.
How Do Shareable Family Prizes Work?
The shareable Family prize is usually awarded to high-Rank winners to spread their love and appreciate the support they get from viewers.
How do you share prizes? It’s easy!
Pococha sends URLs for each prize to the winners via email
Winners use the URLs for themselves or share them with current/potential supporters, friends, or anyone they like (1 URL per person)
Recipients fill in the shipping information via the URL
Pococha sends the prizes according to the information provided
Note:
The form must be filled out by the deadline to receive the prize
If the prize is sent back to us with an undeliverable address, we will not resend the package
Packages cannot be delivered to the PO box, so please use the residential address
What is the Event Passing Line?
The Event Passing Line is a target number of event points that must be earned within a specific period of time during some events.
If you do not reach these targets, you will be automatically withdrawn from the event and will not be able to re-enter the event.
Even if you are withdrawn automatically, you will be still listed on the event ranking page are able to join a different event.
First Event with the Event Passing Line: POCO SPOT Atlanta
Our first event with this new challenge will be the POCO SPOT: Local Atlanta Billboard event.
It will indeed be a challenge, but your efforts will be rewarded!
For broadcasters:
Even if you do not rank in the top 3, 4th and 5th place broadcasters will be rewarded with a special profile theme.
For viewers:
The top 3 viewers will be rewarded by having their usernames together with the the photo of broadcaster they supported on the billboard.
The Pococha community is growing and getting stronger. We believe you can take on this new challenge. Remember to utilize the Family chat function to build event strategies with your Family, be prepared, and work together to achieve the team goal!
Look Forward to More Cool Prizes and Spread Love!
We are excited to create new events and introduce cool prizes every month!
They could be specially customized with the broadcaster’s information, original swag you cannot get anywhere else, or have top supporters’ usernames to remind everyone of the unforgettable exciting moments during events.
