Apologies if this isn’t the right place for this post, but I thought maybe someone here has an answer.
Here‘s a diagram with downloads by region.
As a small side project I submitted an App to the iOS App Store called SplitBill - split from image (free). It lets you, as the name suggests, snap a picture and sum up transactions under different "cards".
Out of the 750 downloads so far, 511 are from Indonesia. They are spread evenly and afaict all of them are coming from App Store searches. That makes me think no one linked to it or mentioned it anywhere. So either people are confusing it with something else (something more popular with a similar name), or for whatever reason there’s a "greater" demand for such an App (obviously still tiny).
The app wasn’t even translated (it now is, btw if someone here would be so kind to take a look if the translations make any sense I‘d appreciate that :)
Any ideas? Maybe there’s nothing to it, but I’m kind of curious.
I think it's because split bill is trending here in Indonesia. More and more couples are splitting their bills.
So a bit of a cultural phenomenon? Interesting :)
