How To Try Android Paid Apps On Google Play Store For Free

by


Google Play store has a huge collection of apps with more than 2,00,000 apps in it. While a lot of the applications are available for free download, there are also some paid apps which you need to purchase before having to check them out.

How To Try Paid Apps

Amazon runs a parallel store where you can get the chance to actually try them before buying.

But the best way where you can try the apps in the Google Play store is just buying them and then returning them for the full refund. Here is how you can do that

  • Go for any app that you might want to try either from your desktop or from your Android device and just buy that app by paying for it
  • After downloading and installing the application, you can go and check it out for the next 10-12 minutes
  • After you are finished with checking out the application, just head to the android market, then go to My Apps, then select the app which you want to have a refund for
  • You can find a refund button there which you can just hit and find the app automatically uninstalled from your device
  • After the uninstall has been done, it will ask you for the reason of returning the application, check ‘I’d rather not say option here’ and the app amount will be refunded

Thus refunding option in the Google’s app market can be helpful to us like this. But there are a few important things which you need to remember while doing this refund process

  1. The refund time of an app is only up to 15 minutes after you download it from the Google play store, after 15 minutes the refund option will be disappeared
  2. The refund option works only one time, if you have refunded the app once, you won’t get the option to refund even after you uninstall and reinstall the app

Thus this is the best trick where you can try paid apps.

We are all very much used to popular browsers like Chrome, Opera on our Android devices. But, there is a very little known lightweight android browser that works in the background giving uninterrupted browsing for the users. And that browser that is available in the Google Play store is called the Flynx browser.

It is built with a very minimalistic design. It is very helpful to keep our reading list organized. We can even save the content offline to read them at a later time if we ever run out of time. Flynx algorithms are designed in such a way that they automatically detect the links of various articles or websites, blogs from various apps like Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, Google+ and shows a small globe icon on the page.

Unlike the regular android browser, this one doesn’t disturb the current thing on the screen and will open the clicked link in the background.  Even the built-in browsers supported in some applications like Facebook and Twitter will open another page without leaving the app, but the currently viewed page of the app will not be there. Whereas this application allows you to do multitasking with your tiny android screen.

You can just click on the link and it will show a globe icon on the page that will open that link on the background while you continue to use the app that you are using. Click on that globe icon to read the article. And saving the article to read offline later is also damn easy. Just double-tap the link and it will be saved.

How To Extract The APK File Of An Android App On Your Phone

by

An APK file is a final extension that is produced after the development of an android application and it is called the Android Application package. It comes with an extension .APK and is similar to .exe that is used to install programs in Windows.

It is not easy to extract the APK from the Android app but I am going to show you the various methods using which we can extract the APK files.

But before that, I would like to tell you one thing

Note: Extracting APK from a paid application is very much illegal and if you do so, then you are responsible for it. We don’t support piracy at all.

Extracting APK File

Method 1:

If you are having a rooted device, then it is a pretty simple top extract using an advanced file explorer which allows you to browse through the root folders. Installed application usually can be found at the path /data/apps.

If you have a non-rooted device, then don’t worry you can do that. You have to use a file manager application that allows you to backup the installed applications, for example, ES File Explorer. Then to extract the APK file, the process goes like

  • You have to take the backup of the app that you want the APK to extract from
  • You will find the backed up extracted file of APK in the folder Backup in your internal storage.

Method 2:

Well if you are a little lazy to do all these things and want an android app to do that for yourself, then the app APK extractor which is available in the Google Play store will do that.

The application is very simple to use. It will show you all the system apps and third-party apps that are available on your phone and you can just search for the app that you want to extract the APK for and then tap on the app, that is it APK will be extracted and saved in the folder ExtractedAPKs in your device’s internal storage.

The application settings even allow its users to change the destination folder where the APK needs to be saved. You can even add the version of the APK if you want to have a better understanding. And you can even share the file right from the application itself to others.

Use this android app APK Extractor to extract APKs easily.
