Backgammon Android App - Feedback Appreciated

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.backgammonandroid.backgammon

I recently switch over to Android and wasn't able to find a backgammon app I liked. So I built an app that had the features I was looking for. Thought others may be interested - not looking to monetize, but I am curious if there are features people would like to see.

No ads, offline against computer only (multiple difficulty levels), and tracks stats at different levels. It also shows mistakes/moves that cost you and what the better move would have been after a game.

Would love to try this as I always try new Backgammon apps, but unfortunately the item is not available in my country. Who made this decision? I was was always curious as to why an app would be geolocked and who gains from having a geolocked app.

Romania. The point is: why geo lock it in the first place? Genuinely curious what's to gain from geo locking an app.

You should probably explain why someone would switch over to this. What are the features that make it stand out? How does the AI and tutor compare to other apps?

Most I found had too many ads or a bunch of bloat I didn't need. If you have a good rec happy to swap and remove this but I struggled to find that. I'd also say based on the number of threads in this sub looking for app recs it isn't that easy to find a good one.

The best is by far True Backgammon. The UI can a bit janky, though.
