In Google seem willing to change the rules of the game through their applications store And it is that Google Play Store has been receiving constant changes in recent months. From the visual aspect, which increasingly focuses on the guides marked by the Material Design style , even in its operation and policies, which now further defend the user's rights.Especially as far as payment applications and integrated purchases are concerned. A content that could be expanded soon with demos or free trials before avoiding paying a penny for any application or tool.
And new rumors suggest that Google would be creating tools for developers with which to create miniaplicaciones Contents reduced, with limitations regarding its functionality and that could be exposed to other users with a adapted price or even free Indications that seem to follow the scheme of demos or trial versions of applications and games An idea that would seek to capture the attention of users more reticent to purchases after discovering the entertainment offered by a paid game, or the possibilities of an application that has some kind of cost.
The rumors arise from the media The Information, although without known sources. Just a reference to someone who could be involved in this new project of Google According to the information, the interest of Google with these new measures would be turning the tables on the benefits of this platform. And it is that, despite the fact that Android is more widespread than iOS, it is stillApple receives the most income through applications because its users are more willing to scratch the pocket buying them. One of the main reasons new game and tool releases often occur on iOS
According to data from The Information, this strategy would allow to download and test portions of games and applications paymentThis would be especially good for emerging markets, where lower purchasing power is an impediment for users to spend money on apps. A rather interesting question and with some logic considering the launch of Android One, with intelligent and powerful terminals, although with greatly reduced prices
Now, developers already have the possibility of creating lite or decaffeinated applications that request payment for more features or to add tools. So this new mechanic would not make much sense. Of course, if this testing feature is applied to the tools that are already available, without a lot of extra work on the part of the developers, it could be an interesting question to involve the user with an application before to pay money for it
In any case, at the moment they are only rumors, without any official confirmation from Google For this reason we will have to wait and see if Google Play, as is already the case in Windows Phone Store, you decide to include tests of your paid applications
