One of the most vibrant features of the Android OS is the variety of the apps it supports. Defenitely, its something that can enthrall any Android user. From where can I get these apps?- this would be the next quetion- I know that. :)
Well, like any other market- Android apps are sold at Android App Market. This place provides you with thousands and thousands of Android apps to choose from.
To buy an app...
First of to buy apps, we need to start at the Android Market on your android enabled device. Using either the computer or your smartphone would be more than enough to get into this Marketplace. But to purchase the apps from the market, you need your mobilephone- cmoputers are not allowed. No if you think you can dowload to your computer then move to the phone, forget it- you can't do it; all downloads are to your Android enabled phone directly.
Now I would like to introduce you to two tabs. One is 'Top Paid' and another one is 'Top Free'. This is not much of a thing- just to show some statistical data related to app downloads. You can use these tabs to see most popular apps and which ones have the most demands. :)
Now all you want to do is to point the web browser of your Android enabled phone to the foresaid Android Market; then go ahead and browse the app you want. After accepting various prompts that pops up, start the download.
Paying for an Android app.
That's a wonderful question- I had the same in me too.
Paying for the stuff you download is not as tough as you might imagine. All it takes is a Google Checkout account.
To pay, create a Google Checkout account- if you don't have one. You can do this using your Google email account. If you have a computer, I recommend to set that up first- even before browsing for the apps. Once you start downloading the apps, you will get billed for the purchase. Billing is via Credeit cards- of course!
NOTE One thing I would like to remind you is about the 'Paid App Availability'. This feature is to be checked if you are a resident living outside the US. It lists out the names of all the countries that can carry out feasible transactions in the market. This makes use of the Currency conversion tool also. If your country is not there- you can't purchase the app for the time being- but don't worry- more and more countries are added to the list often.
Returning Android Apps.
There are policies available for returning Android apps if you are not happy with the result. Go to the Android Market help page for information on how to do this.
