Plain terms for a small app: what you may do with it, what the subscription is, what the reference data and the AI assistant are and are not, and who is responsible for what. Reading it should take about six minutes.
These Terms of Use are an agreement between you and the developer of List of Countries ("we", "us"), an independent developer based in the Republic of Türkiye. By downloading, opening or using the app you accept them. If you do not accept them, do not use the app.
Our Privacy Policy is part of this agreement. Google Play's own terms apply to the download and to every payment, and where they conflict with these terms for a purchase, Google's terms govern the purchase.
List of Countries is a reference almanac for the world's countries and territories: an A–Z register, rankings by population, area, density and land borders, a drawn offline world map, side-by-side comparison, and collections you build yourself. The dataset is bundled inside the app, so nearly everything works with no connection at all.
Four things need the internet: the AI assistant, the in-app browser, the Google map screen, and advertising. Everything else — every country page, ranking, flag and the map tab — is read from files on your device.
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use one copy of the app on devices you control, for your own non-commercial use. We keep every right we do not expressly grant.
We may suspend access to online features — the AI assistant in particular — if we reasonably believe they are being abused.
Free use is funded by ads served by Google AdMob: one when the app is opened and an occasional one when you close a country page. We do not control which ads appear and do not endorse advertisers or anything they sell — any dealing with an advertiser is between you and them. Where consent is required, the app asks before requesting any ad; see the Privacy Policy for your choices.
Each country page has an optional Ask AI tab. Messages you send are processed by a third-party language model (currently OpenAI) to produce a reply about that country.
Your use of the assistant is also subject to OpenAI's usage policies.
The bundled dataset — names, capitals, populations, areas, currencies, languages, codes, neighbours, outlines and editorial notes — is compiled from public reference sources and is provided for general information. Figures such as population are estimates and go out of date; we correct what we find but cannot promise the data is complete, current or free of error.
Found something wrong? Please write to us — corrections to the dataset are welcome and are the fastest way to improve the app.
The collections you build and the messages you type stay yours, and they stay on your device — we neither host nor claim any right in them. Because we hold no copy, we also cannot recover them: if you clear the app's data, uninstall it, or lose the device without a backup, they are gone. Android may include them in your own Google backup, as described in the Privacy Policy.
The app uses services we do not operate, each with its own terms:
Links to Wikipedia, Wikivoyage, YouTube, search engines and other sites open content we neither control nor endorse. Following a link is at your own risk and under that site's terms.
The app — its code, design, layout, name, brand mark, icons and editorial text — is ours and is protected by copyright and other laws. Nothing here transfers ownership of it to you.
If you believe something in the app infringes your rights, write to us with enough detail to identify it and we will review it promptly.
We may add, change or remove features, and we may update these terms. When a change is material we will move the effective date at the top of this page and note it in the Play Store release notes. Continuing to use the app after a change means you accept the revised terms.
If a change materially reduces what an active Premium subscription delivers, you can cancel in Google Play; that is your remedy, alongside any refund Google grants under its policy. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, and the app may not work on every device, Android version or network.
You may end it at any time by uninstalling the app (cancel the subscription in Google Play first — uninstalling does not cancel it). We may suspend or end your licence if you materially breach these terms, in particular section 3. Sections 7 and 10 to 15 survive the end of this agreement.
The app is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy or non-infringement.
We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, secure or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that the reference data or AI-generated answers are accurate, complete or current.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing here limits any non-waivable statutory right you have as a consumer.
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data or business interruption, arising out of or relating to your use of the app — including any decision you take on the basis of its reference data or an AI-generated answer — even if we were advised such damages were possible.
Our total liability arising out of or relating to the app is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for it in the twelve months before the claim, or USD 50.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded. If you are a consumer, your mandatory statutory rights are unaffected.
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and the courts of Istanbul have jurisdiction over disputes arising from them.
If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory laws of your country of residence, and you may bring proceedings in the courts there. EU consumers may also use the European Commission's online dispute resolution platform. If any provision of these terms is held unenforceable, the rest remains in force.

Write in whichever language you prefer. For billing and refunds, contact Google Play first — they hold the transaction.
