Melloop is a local marketplace built for Melbourne's Chinese community. Secondhand goods, a neighbourhood board, and driving school bookings — one account for all of it. BUY AND SELL, FACE TO FACE Browse what's for sale near you, by suburb rather than by city. Furniture, appliances, electronics, kitchen gear, textbooks, and whole-apartment bundles when someone's moving out. Message the seller, negotiate the price in the chat, then meet up, check the item and pay in person. We never handle your money. Melloop hosts the listings — we're not part of the deal. That's exactly why we tell you to inspect the goods and pay in person, every time. THE NEIGHBOURHOOD BOARD Organise a mahjong night, find people for a drink, share a ride, look for a housemate, or pass on a lease or a car space. Post once; anyone interested taps to join and the spot closes itself when it's full. You can apply to open a board of your own — for your apartment building, for instance. DRIVING SCHOOL AND MEMBER PERKS Meloop Club handles driving lesson bookings and local merchant offers. Posting, replying and having an answer accepted all earn points, and points convert to vouchers. WHY THIS ONE · Search by suburb, not by city — Melbourne is big, and something 30km away isn't useful to you · Contact details are masked by default so they can't be scraped · Sign in with a passkey — Face ID gets you in, no waiting for a text · Dark mode, Simplified Chinese and English, following your system STAYING SAFE Always inspect an item before you pay. We mask contact details to stop scraping, but we can't verify every user — if someone asks you to transfer money up front or pushes you to pay online, be careful and report them to us.

Text is a size larger throughout, with none of the small grey lines you had to lean in for. The dare you draw is now the largest line on the page, readable from across the table. Games with long rules start collapsed, so the round and dare buttons stay on the first screen. A two thousand character write-up used to push them two screens down, and those buttons get pressed dozens of times a night. You can step back to the previous round. "Wait, what was the last one" is the most common thing said at the table, and until now the only way back was starting over. A submission you were halfway through survives leaving the app. Games that have been taken down no longer linger on your phone. ### 1.9.6 — 2026-09-06 This version adds drinking games to the Fun section. Every game has a number. When someone at the table calls out "let's play 37", type 37 in the search box and you land on it. No spelling out names. Games that run in rounds, like Finger Grab, list each round separately so you tap through them one at a time. The screen keeps showing which round you are on, so nobody has to remember it while holding a drink. The dare pool works either way: draw one at random, or read the whole list and pick. Those dares came from people at a table, so you can add your own, either a whole new game or one more dare on a game that already exists. Found a good one? Send it to your group chat. The link opens for anyone, with or without the app. Games you have opened are kept on your phone. Signal in a bar is usually one bar or none, and they still open and read fine. New ones fill themselves in when you are back online. ### 1.9.5 — 2026-09-05 This release reworks how you add and change your mobile number and email address. You confirm it's you first, then enter the new number or email. It used to run the other way round. You'd fill everything in and go through a code, and only then be told you still had to prove it was you. That first round was wasted. Verification has moved out of a pop-up that covered half the screen and onto a full page, so you won't end up with two codes and two verification screens open at once. When you add an email address for the first time, the heading no longer says "change your email". The page now tells you where the code was sent, showing only the last few digits of the number, or part of the email address. Most people changing a number are doing it because the old one has stopped receiving anything. If nothing comes through, switch to the other method there and then, from text to email or from email to text. The countdown before you can resend now matches the real wait. It used to say 45 seconds every time, and anyone following that countdown burned through an hour's worth of sends in a few minutes. Approving a sign-in, along with some other sensitive actions, now asks for your face or fingerprint first, the same check your phone uses to unlock. If your phone is sitting unlocked on a desk, nobody else can approve anything for you. ### 1.9.4 — 2026-09-03 The last release translated the interface into six languages. This one translates what the server sends you. Error messages, your notification centre and push notifications used to come back in Chinese. They now follow your language. Notifications render in whatever language you are using now, so switching later re-renders the old ones too. The wallet's transaction list was showing nothing. Fixed. Settings → Security now has Sign out other devices. Before, an unusual-sign-in alert could only be acted on from the website. Shop cards in search results used to show an internal English tag instead of the trade name. ### 1.9.3 — 2026-09-02 Korean, Vietnamese and Japanese are now in. With Simplified, Traditional and English that makes six, under Settings → Display → Language. Error messages used to come back in Chinese no matter what language you were using. They now follow your language. So do the category chips on the home screen, the condition options when you post, and shop trade names. The wallet's transaction list was showing nothing. Fixed. The label on ad cards was hard-coded in Chinese. It follows your language now too. ## More apps by 润森 赵 - [ByWaveCalendar](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/bywavecalendar/id6772655143) All apps by 润森 赵: https://appshunter.io/developer/1858111243 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
