Free trial period for Google Play in-app subscriptions rolls out

[Raviteja]

In a move that will result in a good portion of the Android community saying “Finally”, Google is now offering a trial period for in-app subscriptions. This is obviously very useful for those subscription offers that you aren’t quite sure what you’ll get when you sign up for them. You will still have to enter all payment information as if you’re making the purchase, however Google will initiate a charge of $0.00 at that time. Once the trial period is up (minimum of 7 days), your credit card will then be charged for the full amount. Of course if you don’t like what you’re seeing with the trial, you’ll have to cancel your “purchase” before your trial period is up to avoid the full charge. This move not only offers a little protection for the consumer, it may also boost subscription sales with a try-before-you-buy setup.
