Unfortunately, it is restricted to the US App Store due to there being a higher compliance necessary for using encryption in Europe and other countries outside the US. Once I get some traction, I'm planning to release it everywhere.

> higher compliance necessary for using encryption in Europe

Excuse me? What are you referring to? I'm in Europe (UK), I use encryption routinely, and if I have a compliance obligation I didn't know about, I'd be grateful if you'd point it out to me.

Sorry. I mean Apple adds steps to releasing an app outside the US if it uses encryption. I'm doing neucards as a solo effort and am hoping to see some traction before taking on those requirements. Here is a link to Apple's policy

And here I thought that the days of encryption being classified under ITAR were over for decades. Apparently I was wrong, or Apple insists on over-compliance...

It's very much not over. It tends to focus on novel algorithms and dedicated hardware equipment so it's not as "in your face" as it once was.
