Eating alone again? Let Kakimakan find you a kaki for tonight’s mamak run. WHAT IS KAKIMAKAN A meal buddy app built for Malaysia — KL, PJ, Penang, JB. Browse nearby jios, apply, meet at a public venue, eat together. No date pressure. No long-term commitment. Just one good meal at a time. WHY KAKIMAKAN - Selfie face check for verified profiles (on-device ML — your selfie stays on your phone, no random uploaded photos) - Halal-aware filters: host declares Halal / pork-free / no-restriction when creating a jio - DuitNow-friendly AA: app shows host’s DuitNow ID and each pax’s share with one-tap copy. Open Maybank2u, TnG, GrabPay, Boost, or your bank app and transfer yourself — Kakimakan never holds, routes, or sees your money - Public venues only — every jio is at a real, named restaurant you can search - Anonymous trust tags + 5-star trust score after every meal - Up to 3 emergency contacts + PDRM 999 quick-dial built into the safety screen - Block removes them from any shared upcoming meals and filters all future jios both ways - Available in English, Bahasa Melayu, 中文, தமிழ் HOW IT WORKS 1. Take the MakanDNA quiz (spice level, vibe, meal window, AA habit, dietary) 2. Browse nearby jios on the map or in cards, ranked by distance + DNA fit 3. Apply, host approves in their inbox, chat unlocks 30 min before makan time 4. Meet at a public, named venue and makan together 5. After the meal, leave anonymous trust tags. Copy host’s DuitNow ID and settle AA in your own bank app 6. Add good kakis to your list, see them at the next jio LANGUAGES English · Bahasa Melayu · 中文 · தமிழ் PRIVACY We only read your location when the app is open (to show nearby jios) — no continuous background tracking, no live location-sharing with other users. PDPA Malaysia compliant. Delete your account in one tap from: Me → Delete Account Everything cascades within 60 seconds. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.4.1 — 2026-07-16 Regular Maintain ### 1.4 — 2026-07-12 New UI experience ### 1.3 — 2026-05-21 Version 1.3 — smoother, safer, more Malaysian. WHAT'S NEW - Faster nearby map: jios load up to 2× quicker, especially around KL, PJ, and Penang hotspots. - Smoother apply & approve flow: hosts now see applicants in a cleaner inbox with clearer accept/reject actions. - DuitNow AA — one-tap copy: the settle screen now shows the host's DuitNow ID and each pax's share with a single-tap copy. Open Maybank2u, TnG, GrabPay, Boost, or your bank app to transfer yourself. - Trust tags refreshed: more anonymous tag options so you can leave honest, kind feedback after every meal. - Safety screen upgrade: emergency contacts and PDRM 999 quick-dial are easier to reach from anywhere in the app. - Block improvements: blocking someone now removes them from any shared upcoming jio and filters all future jios both ways — instantly. - Halal filters polished: clearer Halal / pork-free / no-restriction labels on every jio card. - Selfie face check is faster and more accurate on older iPhones. LANGUAGE & LOCALIZATION - Bahasa Melayu, 中文 and தமிழ் translations refined across the apply, chat, and AA screens. - Better handling of mixed-language jio titles (e.g. "mamak after gym 一齐去 mamak"). PRIVACY & ACCOUNT - Account deletion is now a single tap from Me → Delete Account, with full cascade in under 60 seconds. - Location is still only read while the app is open. We never track you in the background, and we never share live location with other users. FIXES - Fixed: occasional crash when applying to a jio that has no cover photo. - Fixed: chat unlock timer sometimes showing the wrong "30 min before makan" countdown. - Fixed: AA share rounding when splitting an odd-ringgit bill across 3+ pax. - Fixed: profile photo not refreshing after re-running the selfie face check. Thanks for using Kakimakan. If you've enjoyed a meal you wouldn't have eaten alone, tell us. Selamat makan! ### 1.2 — 2026-05-13 v1.2 — Polished and honest. • Refreshed onboarding banner with the kakimakan wordmark • Cleaner profile and MakanDNA screens • Tightened safety screen and Block flow • Faster cold start — splash to home in ~1s • Trust-tag and review copy cleaned up • Various small bug fixes ### 1.1 — 2026-05-12 v1.1 — Faster start, fresher feel. • Splash renders in about 1 second on cold launch (down from 10+ seconds) — Firebase and Sentry moved to background init so you see the canai mascot first. • New launch screen with our canai mascot front and centre — no more blank orange flash. • Refreshed app icon — clean edges, no white halo around the mark. • Onboarding banner redrawn from scratch with the kakimakan wordmark and a transparent background that blends with our cream theme. • Nearby header now shows the closest known Malaysian city (KL, PJ, Subang Jaya, Kajang, Penang, JB) based on your current location, instead of a hardcoded label. • Smaller download size — generated assets compressed and unused badges removed. • Privacy answers and reviewer demo notes tidied up. No promise creep — AA still works the same: kakimakan never holds, routes, or sees your money. You copy the host's DuitNow ID and settle in your own bank app. ## More apps by Guang Yi Chung - [PartyUp: Video & Party Games](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/partyup-video-and-party-games/id6758684393) All apps by Guang Yi Chung: https://appshunter.io/developer/1840557974 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
