Apple Makes Small Change to Its App Store
Published at | Updated at
Apple(NEW YORK) — Visitors to Apple’s app store on Thursday may notice that the “free” button to download an app has been changed to “get.”
While the change was made without any fanfare, the Internet has been abuzz with speculation that the move is designed to make it clear that while some games are free, they may offer in-app upgrades that cost money.
Apple already has a family sharing feature in place called “Ask to Buy,” which sends a request to a person in charge of the account who can either approve or decline the query.
Earlier this year, Google switched its call to action in the Play store for “freemium” apps, according to Engadget, replacing the word “free” with “install.”
