What is Wainkum?
Wainkum is a real-time social map for Kuwait and the GCC. Check in where you are, see which friends are out, and discover events, hangouts and places that are busy right now.
Is Wainkum free?
Yes. Wainkum is free to download and use.
Who can see my location?
Only while you are checked in, and only the place you are at, not your moving position. New accounts start on Everyone, so anyone on Wainkum can see you there. Switch to Friends only or Ghost any time, hide from specific friends, or block anyone. When you are not checked in, your live position is not shared, except with a friend whose Join me invite you accept, during that trip.
Where is Wainkum available?
Wainkum launches first in Kuwait, then across the GCC. It is an iPhone app.
How can my business or organization join?
Organization accounts are coming soon. Applications are paused for now. Verified organizations get a page with their logo and cover, can post events, and can see who is coming.
When does Wainkum launch?
Very soon. Join the waitlist and we will email you the day we go live.
