Google’s Play Store
return policy is one of the best feature the company provides. It has been
appreciated by Android community a great deal. The service offers you the
option of returning an app you’ve just paid for and downloaded. You can do
this by simply heading back into the Google’s store, hit the refund tab,
and you’re done.
Obviously, there is
a time limit for the refund policy which has been fluctuating since it started
because of the reluctant developers who were worried about the loss. Earlier,
when the service started Google offered 24 hours to initiate a refund which was
bit extreme according to the developers. Then the company pulled down the timeframe
to 15 mins where it stood until now.
Google has once
again changed its refund policy and increased the return window to a fair 2
hours timeframe. The new 2-hour window strikes a happy medium between
the old 24 hours options, giving you a decent length of time to try out an app
but not so much that you’d be able to fully utilize an app or finish a game and
then return it.
Windows Phone
lets willing developers give users a trial period for apps before purchase but
mostly you don’t get to play with all the features of the app which defeats the
point all together. Apple’s App store in comparison, offers no refund or
trial options for the apps and games. Guess it’s time to get apps from Google
directly instead of looking for APK files from untrustworthy websites.
