What's New in Vokal

1.3.6

June 16, 2026

We rebuilt the voting experience from the ground up. You can now vote by selecting tags — coffee, fitness, Mexican food, bookstore, and more — and add a quick note about exactly what style or concept you have in mind. It's faster, more expressive, and gives local landlords and brokers a clearer picture of what the neighborhood actually wants. We also made performance improvements and squashed a few bugs along the way. We've also made improvements to app stability and performance. This update resolves an issue that prevented the app from launching on some devices. Update now to continue voting for what you want to see in your neighborhood.

Game changer!!

So excited to finally be able to share my input on restaurants, shops etc. that I’d ACTUALLY go to. This is something we’ve been desperately needing for the neighborhood.

Great Idea

Always had ideas about what should open but there was never a place to share them

Great concept

I’m so excited to begin using this app! I’ve always wondered why there was no way for members of the community to have a voice on what businesses come in and now we do! Excited to see what everyone in my neighborhood wants
