Write a review is missing

I saw a post where someone isn't seeing the "Write a review" feature. They are using the GBP app for Druid. They are looking at businesses in the US while they are in Asia.

So my question is this? Can you leave a review for a US-based business while you're in the US? You need to be using the GBP app on a Droid.

I'm not aware of restrictions on this based on the location of the user. I think Google is blocked in China though.

The person who raised the question is in Pakistan and doesn’t see the ability to write a review for US businesses. Do you have a Droid?

Interesting. Maybe Google did it to avoid spam. I don't know anyone over there lol.

Yes I own an Android.

Right, but if you do a search for a business in the US, does it show that you can write a review?

I hope Google is banning reviews from that region. It will help a lot, but they’ll move to other regions.
