Oled display burn-in due to an app, can I sue the app author?
Hello. There is one application for Android (game) that I have been using for years. But. Due to the peculiarity of the game's graphics and static icons, I'm already on the third phone with an Oled screen, I'm getting burnouts. I turned to the developer of the application with a request to add pixel shifting as done on modern phones - the developer does not care and was sent. Can I sue a developer for property damage? (Ukrainian legislation)

Are you ready to pay for an examination to prove that the application is the cause of the burnout?
You can take it to court. But to win is extremely unlikely. Because when installing the application (and the market as a whole), they probably agreed that you yourself are responsible.
Every capable citizen can sue his country :) But in court - they usually play papers there, there is no blabla and no technical terms will be heard there - the judge has limited time :)
You will need to conduct an examination (paid and possibly expensive, for example, an examination in a divorce case can cost 40-60 thousand rubles), and it’s not at all a fact that it will be possible to prove it - and no one will return the money.
Yes, this is unlikely to work out, the display manufacturer in the specification and even in the reviews writes that these are supposedly organic LEDs, which are prone to relatively quick "fatigue" compared to the IPS matrix, I even remember when I had a google nexus one and samsung galaxy 1, everywhere it was advised to change the desktop wallpaper more often, install custom firmware where you can change the location of the clock above the curtain (right, right in the middle, left), change the battery icons.
I want to say that the screen on the nexus burned out in characteristic places 2 years ago when, out of need, it was given to a taxi driver out of need, and there the screen does not turn off for a full day
It's easier not to use the app than to win in court. Is it really such an important application that it should not be used? Proving it is very difficult, almost impossible, a waste of time and money. In terms, developers usually point out that no claims from users concern them, and they disclaim responsibility.
