One of the gripes of Android users were the unavailability of important apps outside the US. One such app was USAA which was not available outside the US which was disappointing given the huge deployment of US armed forces outside the country.

At the same time while US diplomats and official posted were able to use such apps on their iOS devices their Android counterparts were suffering. This also gave users reasons to go with iOS rather than Android. We have been reporting about it regularly and the good news is now all such apps are available outside the US. You can now easily download and install previously blocked apps such as Netflix, Google Book, Nook on Android devices outside the country.

Of course you won't be able to access Netflix content outside the US since the company doesn't stream content outside the US.
