Country restrictions on apps are dumb.

It doesn't matter that I'm in Canada, standing in the grocery store for which the app is supposed to be used and about to pay for my groceries with Canadian dollars. No, you can't install the app. It's not available in your country. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Come on! I get why geolocking exists. Countries have different laws and maybe you don't want to deal with all the intricacies of running an international app. But come on! It's a coupon clipping app! 🙄
