WSJ - Apr 20 - For Singapore-based Paktor, Indonesia accounts for half its 1M active monthly users. Paktor, a Tinder-like app, is spread across Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, Taiwan and Indonesia, and it is doubling its numbers each quarter. Local online dating apps such as Yogrt and Wavoo, as well as mix-matching website Setipe.com, are also seeing a windfall in Indonesia. Cultural stigmas about casual dating still pose challenges, said Razi Thalib, co-founder of Setipe, which currently has ~300K members. Setipe is matching users for long term relationships. Yogrt app includes a game that users can play with their matches, while Wavoo has an augmented reality feature that allows users to see other nearby users from a map of their neighborhood.
