In this episode, we look at super apps, which is an app that includes many functions all rolled into one—for example, having your streaming service, food delivery, and payments app collected together.

Some popular ones include China's WeChat and AliPay, India's Paytm, Singapore's Grab, Indonesia's GoTo, Vietnam's Zalo, and South Korea's Kakao.

But why haven't they been popular in the West, and what can app developers do to promote their success?
