Google Play may start showing fees for in-app purchases

The American company Google seems to have set to work giving its app store a complete image wash Google Play Just a few hours after we learned that Google Play will require developers to display their physical address on the tab of the applications, this time it is a new source that puts us on the track that Google Play will begin to show the rates of purchases within the applications This news would affect freemium-type applications, that is, applications that are free to download but, at the same time, incorporate purchase options within their interface.

The source of this information resides in the company itself Google, specifically in an email sent by the Support by Google Play to an application developer and published on the American website AndroidPolice . In this email, in addition to informing the developer of the new measure of the physical address in the applications, Google also announces that soon it will begin to show the rates of the internal purchases of the applications , as we can read in this fragment of the email.

We are going to show in the application description tab the rates of the apps that offer internal purchases and/or subscriptions.

The measure of showing the rates of internal purchases of applications does not seem farfetched, since today the only The way to find out the prices of the add-ons and/or application subscriptions is to first download and install the app and then check the rates for each internal purchase. A good example of what this novelty from Google Play could look like can be found in the App Store , the app store of Apple; In this store, applications with internal purchase options include a section within their file that shows the ranking of the most popular purchases within the application (under the name "Top purchases within the app «), and it is a list that collects both the name of each purchase and its respective price. The system that Google probably intends to introduce in Google Play will be quite similar to that of the App Store, so we will be able to know in advance all the prices of purchases of an app before you even download it.

At the moment there is no specified date for the implementation of this measure, although it is to be assumed that - assuming that it is completely confirmed news - its arrival should not be made to wait beyond a few weeks from today. There is no doubt that the increasingly growing scams on Android have ended up leading to Google to apply a policy of “transparency” in relation to everything What happens inside your store Google Play
