KASKUS Review
KASKUS is a free-to-use app for Android, belonging to the category 'Social & Communication'. It has been downloaded by 409 users and is rated 4.0 out of 5 stars. The app is available in English and Russian. The latest version was released on 10 November 2014.
Kaskus has a lot of community-based activities, and it also has its own platform for trading goods. The Forum Jual Beli (FJB) features 530 different product catagories. Users can post their goods for trade, and then other members will contact them if they want to buy the product. The website will then digitize the transaction and disburse the money to both parties.
FJB also has a special section that allows members to discuss controversial issues. These include religion, sex, and race. In fact, the site was once known as an underground place to obtain pornography content. The founders fought hard to make this aspect of the site legal, but the battle was eventually lost.
Our interview with Andrew Darwis revealed that the company is still innovating to stay relevant. For example, it is considering adding a match-making service. It would be interesting to see if it could rival sites like Detik, which has a similar service in Indonesia. In addition, a new mobile interface is in the works. This will give the site a modern look that will appeal to younger generations. It will also make it easier to navigate. The interface will be simpler than the current one, and it will support more languages.
