A global app, never branded to India
Decision
AskCal is a global app. No surface ever brands it to India.
Why
The owner set this on 2026-09-27 while the store listing was being rewritten. The test foods are South Asian only because that was the data at hand. That is a fact about the dataset, not about who the app is for.
Impact
- Store listing, app name, keywords, screenshots and onboarding copy name food generically ("home cooking", "shared plates").
- No "Indian", "desi" or "India" in anything a user reads.
- Regional units (katori, glass, mug, bottle) are out too; see type.
