Sorry but this article is not honest. All the example here have counter-examples of USA first apps. lot of apps used QR code since the iPhone had apps, Uber hail ride is present in several apps since long, Google Maps, CityMapper, ... There are apps to order pizza. Live streaming video app like justin.tv, ustream or livestream Tinder is not the first dating app, it just popularized a new model to begin a conversation : the double validation model, Badoo or Grindr existed long before. The WeChat model is NOT great, it means a monopoly on apps, they can remove you from their micro app store if they want like they did with Uber and remove you from the country. We are far better with an equalitarian app store like Play Store or (in lesser ways) the App Store. I think WeChat is the result of the pseudo banning of the Play Store in China, and it should NOT be a thing of desire.
