Yeah, I've to use the Kaspi app through muscle memory. Haha! I have learned some of the words though and I'm getting better reading Cyrillic.

[@TheSinxinx]

@A B Yeah, I read up a bit on that. I noticed they have already started. A lot of the business signs are now using the latin alphabet. I wish it was the case for me when I first started coming here. But, I still see it as a win. Most of the people here would understand me if I were to use the Cyrillic alphabet to write Kazakh. Since I am from a somewhere that's already using the Latin alphabet that's already in the bag.

My recommendations other than what you already mentioned: 1. Telegram, other than Whatsapp, as a messaging app, as well as a source of local news, events, etc. 2. Onay, instead of CityBus, that works much better in Almaty. 3. If you want to get a local bank card, get Kaspi Gold and you can pay for goods and services almost everywhere by transferring money. 4. Senim or Rakhmet apps allow you to make payments in most restaurants, cafes, shops with good cashback deals. 5. Krisha.kz for finding apartment rentals. 6. OLX.kz (local eBay for buying and selling stuff)
