Why my friend cant find this app in China?

Question

it's really a good app, help us improve our skills, and make us better, I want introduce it to my friend, but they can't find it in internet. why? this just a learning app, it's not Google, tweeter, is because this app don't need this big market?

Answer 1

:( well that isn't very nice. there is always the Web version. www.sololearn.com

Answer 2

not sure. does your friend have access to google playstore?

Answer 3

I have checked China leaderboard, there are around 10 thousands members there. Most members with xp less than 1000xp.

Answer 4

It is not that SoloLearn doesn't care for the huge market in China, it's more because China has applied restricted rules related to information, I once watched on TV, that Facebook, Twitter, and even Google is prohibited, in place of Google they have Baidu, and WhatsApp is covered by WeChat.

Really sorry to hear, but since it is their government policy, I guess there's nothing we can do about it.

Answer 5

@jay they can't, Google app store is blocked by Chinese gov.

Answer 6

Did the friend try installing an offline apk from 3rd party sources, like from the link below? I should note that it's better to avoid doing that unless you absolutely have to. Manually installed apps wouldn't update automatically, and you should be extremely careful of what you're actually installing, and where from.

Also, it's probably a good idea to suggest including this app to whatever popular Chinese app stores, to SoloLearn. Use "3 dot menu" -> "feedback" -> "suggestion", or write an email to [e-mail]

Answer 9

Get your friends to switch to an app store and download this app. I downloaded it directly from the App Store in Huawei. China has not shielded it
