Readdle was founded in Ukraine, and many of our employees call it home. Right now, Russian armed forces are bombing & attacking Ukraine by land, air, and sea.
Civilian areas are being targeted by numerous missiles. Since the start of the war on Feb 24, more than 375 civilians have been killed and over 1799 wounded, including many children. Over 660,000 people have had to leave their homes to escape these war atrocities. The number of casualties keeps growing by the minute.
Therefore, Readdle is doing the following:
- We do not provide our services and access to our products to customers from Russia;
- We removed all our products from the App Store and Google Play in Russia;
- We do not engage in any business with companies that are owned by or affiliated with Russian nationals;
- We do not engage in business with companies that support or are owned or affiliated with any national who supports the Russian aggression in Ukraine.
While we understand that you may not share the same views or beliefs of Russia’s government, which is committing human rights abuses and war crimes, we must take action to support Ukraine’s fight for freedom.
What this means:
- For Existing Users:
Existing users in Russia will retain access to the app they have installed, but the app will no longer be updated — no new features or security updates will be delivered. We will no longer offer any customer support for our apps. - For New Users:
Readdle’s apps will no longer be available for sale on the Russian App Store or Google Play. We will not offer our products and services to users in Russia.
