App Store changes 'Free' button with 'Get' button

Apple has just changed the "Free" button with the "Get" button on the App Store to avoid some misunderstandings that users may encounter when downloading applications.

The word "Get" replaces the word "Free" on the App Store

In the past, when accessing the App Store, users will find paid apps listed clearly, and free apps are labeled " Free ".

However, the meaning of the word " Free " has been misinterpreted as more and more applications are labeled " Free " but inside there exist forms of purchase in the application ( in-app purchase ). This leads to many misunderstandings and lawsuits from users.

Some parents give their kids a free app but then get a long bill. It turns out, during the play, their children accidentally or intentionally made the purchase form in the application ( in-app purchase ).

Earlier this year, the European Commission asked Apple to clarify this issue so that users were not misunderstood. This requirement also applies to Google, but there is no Google Play app store that has changed the way it works, according to CNET.
