• Use a computer: To find and manage apps from any
computer, go to http://play.google.com using your
Google account and password.
There, you can browse apps on the big screen, manage your
apps across multiple devices (like a phone and tablet), and
even set new apps to download to your devices.
• Enjoy music, books & movies: You can also use Google
Play Store to access the "Play Music", "Play Books", and
"Play Movies & TV" apps.
• Get help: To get help and more, touch Menu in the top
right.
Apps from the web
You can get apps from online app stores using your browser.
Tip: Choose your apps and updates carefully, as some may
impact your phone's performance—see "Choose carefully".
Note: When installing an app, make sure you read the alerts
that tell you what information the app will access. If you don't
want the app to have access to this information, cancel the
installation.
To let your phone install apps that are not on Google Play,
touch Apps > Settings > Security
.

Choose carefully

Apps are great. There's something for everyone. Play,
communicate, work, or have fun. But remember, choose your
apps carefully. Here are a few tips:
• To help prevent spyware, phishing, or viruses from affecting
your phone or privacy, use apps from trusted sites, like
Google Play Store.
• In Google Play Store, check the app's ratings and comments
before installing.
• If you doubt the safety of an app, don't install it.
• Like all apps, downloaded apps will use up memory, data,
battery, and processing power—some more than others.
For example, a simple battery level widget will use less than
a streaming music player app. After installing an app, if
you're not happy with how much memory, data, battery or
processing power it's using, uninstall it. You can always
install it again later.
• Just like web browsing, you may want to monitor children's
access to apps to help prevent exposure to inappropriate
content.
• Certain apps may not provide completely accurate
and check Unknown
information. Take care, especially when it comes to personal
health.
