Important Notice to Our Android App Users

Unfortunately, Google has suspended our Play Store app. We’d like to offer an explanation, extend our apologies and, most importantly, help you keep making the most of your Shibari Study membership.

Everyone who signed up to Shibari Study through the Android app is going to lose access to our content by 23 June 2024. We did everything we could to stick to Google’s community guidelines and to appeal their decision that our content is inappropriate but despite our best efforts, they’ve remained unbudging on their decision to deplatform us.

We would like to sincerely apologize to you for any confusion or inconvenience that this has caused.

Therefore, we're offering a sign-in only app (called APK, short for Android Package) for our users to continue enjoying our content. Please follow these steps on how to access the new app.

Note: If you already have the original Android app on your device, no need to follow all these steps or delete it! While you can no longer manage your membership from the app or download it from the Google Play Store, you can sign up for a membership here, and still sign in with those credentials.
