On December 8, 2016, Yahoo! released an app for the platform called Yahoo! Answers Now (formally known as Yahoo! Hive) for iOS and Android. The platform is known as Yahoo! Chiebukuro ( Yahoo!知恵袋) in Japan. An Arabic language Q&A platform called Seen Jeem was available through the Yahoo! subsidiary Maktoob until 2010, and the Chinese language version Yahoo! Knowledge was available until 2021. Yahoo! Answers was available in 12 languages, with several Asian language versions operating a different platform which allows for non-Latin characters. The site gave members the chance to earn points as a way to encourage participation and was based on Naver's Knowledge iN. Yahoo! Answers was created to replace Ask Yahoo!, Yahoo!'s former Q&A platform which was discontinued in March 2006. Yahoo! Answers was finally made available for general availability on May 15, 2006.
