Yes, local taxi company apps are another example: they are only available in the UK store. Which sort of makes sense, you wouldn't want someone to try to call a UK taxi overseas, although I did have to spend some time figuring out how to switch store countries when I moved here.
- viraptor 7y agoI disagree it ever makes sense. People travel. I've found myself many times abroad not being able to download: parking payment apps, local taxi apps, sim card providers' apps, local banking apps, etc. for no reason apart from someone thinking it would be useful to region-lock them.
- edwintorok 7y agoPerhaps there should be 2 regions: your "home" region where you initially signed up, and your "roaming" region, i.e. the country you're currently in. And perhaps instead of preventing you from installing the app it should still be available and just tell you why it cannot be currently installed, with a way to override it.
