The aspect of micropayments and in-app purchasescontinues to be criticized and praised in equal parts by users and developers. And it is that what seems like a problem when cutting functions of a game or tool, is being the economic solution for the applications Something that should no longer be carried to error to any user thanks to the latest addition of Google to its app store Google Play , where in its web version it is already indicated if an application or game contains micropayments
This way Google Play now shows more information about the content it offers to its users. Specifically if the applications or games have in-app purchases Or what is the same , the well-known micropayments or sales included in the application A function that seems to be working especially well in the field of games where extra content is offered to continue enjoying in exchange of a real payment Something that, on the other hand, has led to doubts and resentment on the part of users who have been surprised to discover charges in their accounts for this same reason.
Now there is no excuse. And it is that when accessing the web version of Google Play, right next to the availability of the application, under the download button, a phrase in bold indicates “offers in-app purchases”A long-awaited function after Google Play introduced it last December also in the mobile version A necessary warning after the numerous news about involuntary and, in the greatest number of puerile cases, purchases made from a game or application.
However, as indicated in the specialized blog on the Android platform, Android Police, a more specific notice is missing, such as available to iOS users at App Store And there are free games and applications that require mandatorily payment or purchase of a subscription to use, while other tools only offer addons optional to improve your user experience. A difference that is not highlighted in this notice introduced in the web version of Google Play, and that is not shown in the device version either.
Aside from this, it's a nice feature for those new users who want to avoid content payment And the fact is that there have already been news stories starring a child or a user who, without knowing it, has come to charge thousands of dollars and euros in purchases within an application. A business model that, however, seems to be working really well in the field of videogames, as is the case of Candy Crush Saga And it is difficult try the honeys of a title totally free and reach a point where you can't move forward, or where it would be convenient to have some help and for that reason which is necessary to pay some euro.
