Google Play now allows you to try apps before paying for them
The company Google wants to make things easy for users of the platform Android For this reason, they have decided to let them try their paid applications and games for free And no, we are not referring to the old payment system, trial and insured returnthat used to be used up to now with a two-hour timeframe, but to a test period of 10 minutes even earlier to make any payment. A really convenient process as you don't even need to install the application.
Coincidence or not, this function lands on the same day of the event that Google has established for the presentation of its new mobiles, the Pixel, as it has been leaked on the Internet in recent days. In any case, it is most convenient for all users who wish to test the virtues of a game or the qualities of a payment application before carrying out monetary management . And the most curious thing: the test is in streaming That is, without installations, but by testing the application through the Internet
Just go to any paid application or game in the Google Play Store and click on the new button Try NowThis will cause the content to start automatically and with virtually no waiting. Almost as if it were installed on the terminal. The key is that the process is carried out through the Internet, in streaming In other words, it is the Google servers that run the application or game, carrying the video signal directly to the user's mobile Something that can be seen in the quality of the graphics, which fluctuates depending on the Internet connection you have at that moment . However, even though the resolution is lower, the experience is truly fluid, comfortable and instantaneous As much as if the content were on mobile.
Now, this free trial is not eternal A counter in the lower left corner reminds us that we only have one within 10 minutes to test what is offered to us.After this time the demo ends and you are urged to buy the content Although it is also possible to exit the test before this time is up and restart another without apparent limitations. All of this while being able to click on the Google Play icon to access more information about the test streaming , the remaining time or information of the title being enjoyed.
With this Google you will avoid many of the problems that you have been causing due to returns and refunds. And it is that, to date, it was necessary pay and test the application or pay game for a maximum of two hours If it was not convincing, and still was within the deadline, the user could request a refund on the content download page itself. A process that has caused more than one headache and that is now it is not necessary, since streaming gives rise to testing all title features before you pay.
Of course, it will remain up in the air if a game is too demanding for our terminal, for example, since, in these tests , the technical capacity of the mobile is not measured. In addition, a good Internet connection is required.
In any case, Google has already started offering this feature worldwide, although it may be phased in to all users. Head over to Google Play Store and watch some paid content like the game Ticket to Ride to run the test.
