Not Hotdog App - Hackdot

Re:Not Hotdog App by davb on Tuesday May 16, 2017 @04:39AM (#14348200)

I always find it strange when apps like this are made unavailable in certain countries (in this case, the UK).

Video, I understand. From a consumer perspective it's crappy, but I do understand that licensing agreements for video are generally geographically restricted. But an app that goes along with a TV show? I can't see Sky (the UK network broadcasting Silicon Valley and most other HBO shows right now) distributing Not Hotdog.

It would be fun to play with it while the novelty is still fresh.

My guess is they don't want to put in the lawyer work to figure out if they can. I imagine HBO has to heavily vet things like this, unlike small startups.

I think they just didn't publish to other regions. Give it some time and I believe they will cover more than just US App Store ;)
