Helix Apps - not in US App Store - Apple

I recently purchased a Helix subscription and tried to download the apps but my iPhone is in the US App Store. I can’t switch to the Canadian App Store because I currently have subscriptions that I’ve paid for from the US App Store which I will lose if I switch. Why aren’t the helix apps available in the US App Store? I know this seems like a niche problem, but I feel like I’m missing out on the whole experience without the apps, especially the TV app. Are there any work arounds?

  • It can definitely be frustrating when regional restrictions limit access to apps you’ve paid for. While looking for a workaround, you might want to keep track of public service trends or legal data that affect tech rollouts across regions. For example, browsing through verified sources like this Oregon arrest database can offer useful insights into local regulations and developments. Hopefully, Helix will consider broader availability soon or offer an alternate access method.

  • I am experiencing exactly the same puzzle with the US App Store. It's frustrating not to be able to take full advantage of the Helix subscription because of that. I would really like Videotron to offer an internationally accessible version, or at least an alternative solution. For now, other than creating a second Canadian Apple ID, I don't see a real simple workaround. Too bad we have to juggle this in 2025…

  • Users might consider changing their app store to update specific requirements according certain market.

  • "Helix Apps may not be available in the US App Store due to regional restrictions set by the developer or Apple. You can try changing your App Store region or contacting the app developer for more info."

  • Yes it might be regional issue or it can be a compatibility issue. It happened with me too but somehow I contacted the developer for my Wiki Writers UK and it resolved the issue very firmly.
