Just curious, what is the reasoning behind such rollouts? Localization?

Yes...translating to Australian is a slow and tedious process.

Hopefully this can be expedited by translating from the New Zealand version which is released. Just lower the prior probability of sheep and you're done!

Wow. You can imagine a near future where this, a small wearable camera and an earphone could really make a big difference to a persons daily life. Screw Siri, thats a real AI assistant :)

You mean in the future Siri might be able to do this stuff?

US App Store only at this stage it seems. Pity, I'd like to try this. edit: I'm wrong. it's in other stores as well, but not in the Australian app store, which is the one that I tried.

For the launch, its available in USA, Canada, India, New Zealand, Singapore and Hong Kong. And gradually, should be available in more countries. Anirudh from Seeing AI team

Android release?

I really hope not. I'm not saying localization isn't important, but holding back an English app because of this is something I don't understand. A huge part of the world speaks English just fine. Release first, localize later if it's not possible right away. This is probably not the case here, but I hate it when devs forget that the US isn't the entire world that they're releasing their app to.

Heck it could even be a great teaching aid for English!

Devs often limit regions to slowly ramp up usage, so the servers don't melt down on day one, see Pokemon Go for example.

Also some of us don't even like to have the software localized. English is not my mother tongue and it's not an official language where I live either but I always set the system language to American English on my computers and devices.
