      That’s a very good question, we will certainly look into it for a future article.

      In meantime, I would recommend heading to makeuseof.com/answers and asking our experts over there for help. If there is such a service, one of our experts will be able to help!

        Hi Dave,

        We do support international use. We’ve seen a few issues with several countries outside the US, but things are largely working as they should be. Thanks a bunch.
