Can we remove UK restriction? #262

User feedback:

I have an android phone that was not bought in the UK. Your app will not allow me to download from the Google Play Store it as it says it's 'unavailable in your country'

Whilst it's not desirable to offer a UK-centric app to people who aren't in the right geographical area to make use of it, we do also have the use case of people who are in the UK but for whatever reason have a foreign phone.

Should we therefore allow anyone, anywhere in the world, to install it?

Name of app, which does not include 'UK', may screw with local versions in app stores. Otherwise, having been irritated once by this myself, not a bad idea imho
