Why it is unavailable

Five things can put an app out of one Google Play. Each is weighed below against what can be seen from outside — open a card for the reasoning.

  • A government or a court demanded itPossible

    and Google complied. Google publishes a count of these per country each year and never says which apps they were. Google’s Transparency Report

  • A local rule about paying for itPossible

    gambling licences, financial rules, tax — the kind of law that governs a transaction. Google can obey every one of them by refusing the payment, which is why this is the only restriction we would accept and the only one that cannot touch a free app.

  • Google applied a rule, unaskedPossible

    either its own review guidelines, or its own reading of a local law, with nobody having demanded anything. This is the largest category in Google’s own removal figures by a wide margin, and it covers distribution permits as well as content — Google kept a free Bible app out of mainland China in 2021 for want of one. Google’s Transparency Report

  • The developer withheld itPossible

    freely, or under legal advice of their own, or because Google’s guidelines require that kind of app to be limited to certain countries. Switching a country off is easy for a developer to do in Google’s own tools: it needs no new version of the app, and it leaves no public trace other than the app being unavailable.

  • Something brokeUnlikely

    a rejected update, a lapsed certificate, a payment or licensing problem, a mistake nobody has got round to noticing.

    • Gone for 1 years.
How this is weighed, and what it cannot tell you

Weighed from the evidence under each card, not from a model. There is no published figure for how Google’s removals divide up, so these are ordered words rather than percentages. For scale on the same-day counts: across the whole record an app leaves a storefront with fewer than two others, so a dozen at once is not a dozen coincidences.

None of this is certain, and a citation does not make it so: Google naming a Chinese agency tells you what Google said, not everything that happened. What can be said is that the readings alone cannot separate these five — a developer switching off a country and a government ordering it removed arrive at Google’s catalogue looking identical — and that nobody has ever measured how they divide across Google Play. The one careful study of the question was done on Google's store, using an error message Google does not emit.

Google publishes no record of which apps are unavailable in which countries. Its Transparency Report counts the removal requests governments send it, across its products together, and names no app in any of them — so even the part it does disclose cannot be matched to a single thing missing from your store. Where a reason reaches the public at all, it is usually because a developer chose to say so. Google’s Transparency Report

Testing asks Google whether it will sell this app in that storefront, right now, by the same method the crawler has used since 2019. Your browser asks Google directly, so the answer describes what Google serves your connection — and if your browser cannot reach Google at all, we ask on your behalf and say so. The result is a link: open it to see Google’s own answer and check ours. Readings are added to the record above; roughly a quarter of the readings taken each day come from people testing.

How we test

Availability is checked against Google’s own catalog servers for every storefront, the same way Google Play app asks. "Unavailable" means Google’s servers say the app cannot be offered in that country — it does not say who asked for the removal. Removals initiated by the developer and removals demanded by governments look the same from outside; the history and context on this page are how we tell them apart.
