Do you have an Android phone? Then you also use the Play Store. Here you can easily download apps. Many of these apps are free. However, that does not apply to all apps.

Sometimes an app can be downloaded for free, but you have to spend a few euros to be able to use the app completely. It is useful if you know what to look for when buying apps in the Play Store. You can’t fail with the following tips.

Different payment methods
There are many different payment methods. This way you can link a bank account to your Play Store account. This way you can easily pay via IDEAL or debit card. However, it is also possible to use a google play card. The big advantage is that you are not obliged to link your bank details or credit card. You can spend money completely anonymously in the Play Store. This gives you direct access to millions of apps, games, movies and books.

Pay in the Play Store
Paying in the Play Store is very easy. If you want to download an app, it will immediately indicate how much it costs. Usually it concerns an amount under the euro. Then tap the displayed price to checkout.

If you have already set up a payment method, it will appear first. Have you added a google play card 25 to your account? Then you immediately get the opportunity to hand in some money. You will be asked for your personal password again to make sure that it is you. If you have completed all the steps, you can immediately start using the purchased app.

Nice paid apps
There are countless apps, books, games and the like in the Play Store. That is why it is good to filter the offer for yourself. What exactly are you looking for? You can also filter on only free apps or the paid apps. That way you will quickly find what you are looking for.

Many apps today also include so-called “in-app purchases.” You can install the app completely free of charge, but many extra options can only be used after payment. This could be anything. For example, that the countless advertisements in the game only disappear after payment or that the app no ​​longer works after the trial period or buying extras that make the game easier or more fun. The app should always clearly state when such in-app purchases are involved. That way you know in advance where you stand.

There are many different useful and fun paid apps. Think of games, but also of professional file management to better archive your data. Sometimes there are also apps with a summary of a well-known instruction or information book available. Think, for example, of the ‘Oei-I-growth’ app. It contains all kinds of information about the well-known mental leaps for parents. Actually a short summary of the accompanying thick book.
