Download an app

1. From the home screen, select the  Play Store app.

2. Select the Search field. Enter the desired app name, then select a suggestion or the Search key.

Note: If prompted, review permissions and if you agree, select Accept. Apps built for Android 6.0 or later will ask for permissions once you start using them. If prompted, review permissions and if you agree select CONTINUE. Devices with Android 8.0 will also have a "TRY NOW" option, which lets users access an app feature without downloading the full app.

 

 

 

4. The  Downloading icon will appear in the Notification bar while the content is downloading.

 

5. To access the app after it has downloaded and installed, select Open.

 

Note: Apps can be returned within 15 minutes of purchase. To return an app, from the Play Store select the Account icon > My apps & games > the desired app > REFUND > YES.
