Android now lets you test some apps from the Google Play Store before downloadin­g IT’S EARLY DAYS, BUT THE PROMISE

IS THERE.

Sick of having to download apps before you can see what they’re like? Google is helping to get rid of much of that hassle by adding a ‘Try It Now’ option beside apps on its Google Play Store, which allows you to use stripped-down, web-based versions of the app rather than having to download the whole shebang. You’ll basically be using a website, but to outward appearance­s, it won’t look or perform much differentl­y than the app you otherwise would have downloaded. Currently there are only five apps available in this setting, but visit tinyurl.com/tla71

trynow and keep an eye out for future additions.
