It's an app for Reddit. Go figure. I'll be sticking with Sync (Android), which doesn't have this bewildering region restriction, has tons of features and faithfully follows Material.

Secret is a different case, the purpose of the app is to anonymous communication, I can see why Brazil has a problem with it (mass protests recently, protestors probably using secret, amongst other things)
If you worry that countries like Germany or Switzerland might censor you out of the market because of reddit controversities you'd probably overestimated reddits emotional potential.

The BPJM does not have authority to block foreign websites. They do maintain a (non-public) list of websites deemed harmful to the youth which e.g Google uses to not show certain sites to German users. They planned to add that subreddit to this list.
That's quite far from censoring but rather Reddit censoring itself.
While you're completely correct, and this case is exactly that, the end result is the same isn't it?
Reddit (as a page) is still up and running for everyone. I can't see how an app would be more controversial.
I'm sorry it's not available in your country -- we're planning on getting it out everywhere.
The flow for me was "hey neat", click link to reddit page, "ok, this looks good", click link to google play store, click green Install button, 'none of your devices are compatible', "what in the ever-loving ...?", go to hn comments, "oh goddamn, not again".
That could've been MUCH shorter and MUCH less confusing if the title up here ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11447273 ) said: "Announcing Reddit for iOS and Android in NA/UK/AUS" and at the very least having a text below the appstore/playstore buttons stating this.
Have some empathy please.
Edit: Going "Hello World!" in the "What's New" section also doesn't help matters.
"Reddit anywhere with our app for iPhone & Android"
Replies are filled with people from countries where they can't get it.
It's like companies are actively trying to annoy the region's they geo-block.
This should have been sorted out before the launch.

Anyway, you don't need an API key at all currently. And they said they intend to support the current API.
And suddenly Falcon Pro was limited to 100'000 users.
I'm afraid I did the opposite, however. I don't need a new app, and again contrarily, I don't need a new feed reader. My worthless trivia supeepowers are indeed in decline. Meh.
Frankly, I have a hard time believing that your team couldn't have done this due diligence upfront, considering how rare it is that I encounter apps in my daily use that do not work seamlessly. I moved from North America to Europe 1 year ago, so this is something I have a lot of experience with. You could help me and others understand this better.
Heck, I'll do it. Ping me.
could you expand on this?
No colors or upvote buttons, or toolbars. maybe a single button (not a hamburger, probably an arrow) that presents all the menu options.
swipe to collapse comments is also a pretty crucial feature.
