Google thinks of a subscription to download apps

November 3, 2018 – Not just music and video. Soon, even applications could be downloaded by subscription. Google would actually think of create a monthly plan allowing users to download any paid apps that they wish. All at no additional cost in addition to the monthly fee. His name should be, according to some rumors, Google Play Pbad.

In short, nothing different than streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music, Netflix or Amazon Prime Video, we have been used for a long time. But, to look more closely, an innovative method applies to the world of applications. In fact, many users prefer to download the free app with advertising rather than paying 0.99 cents or more to get the app with advanced and ad-free features. In this way, however, they could have all the applications they want without any worries.

Because Google thinks of a subscription to download apps

The clues about Big G's willingness to create a subscription plan to download the app arrive from Google Opinion Rewards, survey platform owned by the giant Mountain View. In fact, many users subscribed to the platform have been asked to answer questions about a possible monthly plan for downloading paid apps. One of these users asked whether, for such a service, the name past was adequate.

The motivations that push Google to take such a step could be the most varied. On the one hand, the desire to increase the income of its store, which has always suffered from the competition (and the best economic results) of the Apple App Store. On the other hand, perhaps, the need to "repair" the decision of the European Antitrust Authority which fined the Mountain View company for inserting its application in all Android devices. In fact, a few weeks ago, it seems that Google wants to charge Android – or package including applications of its services like Gmail, Google Maps and Google Drive, to name only three – directly to producers. With a subscription service, however, would leave users the "hot potato" to decide whether to use the Big G app by paying or whether third-party developer apps could be free.
