Psycosooner Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 I purchased the app for my old android phone. I recently bought a new phone. My question is: Do I have to repurchase the app for my new phone? Or can I download the app for free now? If so, how? Thanks. Quote
+UMainah Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) I'm assuming this is in the wrong topic, since the Challenges app is free. As for your question and if you are talking about the $10 Geocaching app, then if your new phone is an Android phone you do not need to repurchase the app. Just log into the Google Play Store (formerly Android Market) with the same account that you used on your old phone and you'll be able to download the app for free.

Tarn_Loon Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 More of a technology question than Challenges. Moving topic. Quote

Psycosooner Posted May 5, 2012 Author Posted May 5, 2012 Thanks for the help guys. Yes I am talking about the $10 app. I have checked my google account info. It is correct and the same account. I did notice that none of my apps from my previous phone are listed in Android Play, My Downloads. Not sure why this is. I was thinking maybe it has to do with the transition from Android Market to Google Play Store. ???? I know its only $10 but it has peek my curiosity and now I need the answer as to why more then I need the app. ROFL. Anyway thanks again for any info you might have. P.S. I am also in contact with Google support about this and will try to update here with any info I get from them. Quote
+BlackRose67 Posted May 6, 2012 Posted May 6, 2012 As long as the app is compatible with your new phone AND you are using the same Google account on the new phone as the old phone, you should not have to pay for it again. Quote
