Google opens two-hour window for return of Android apps

Google used to give people a 24-hour window to initiate a refund over an app they no longer want. But developers thought it was extreme so they cut that down to 15 minutes. Thinking that was too short, Google has decided to change it again to a two-hour window. Android users will now have a couple of hours to decide if the app they purchased is worth their money. They will refund you within that timeframe and if you still miss it, Google suggests you talk to the developer directly. Admittedly, two hours seems like enough time to tinker around with an app and decide if you want to keep the app or not.

LG G Watch gets $50 price cut

The G Watch R was supposedly just an option for those who didn’t want the G Watch. Now, it looks like the South Korean brand is preferring the rounder brother with a US$50 price cut on G Watch over at Google Play Store. This means the G Watch is now $179. The sale will reportedly be until September 23. But we won’t be surprised if the price sticks though.

-Oops, it seems the discount is nor for the Canadian buyers as the Google Play Store in Canada still lists the LG G Watch at $249.99. Sucks but it is what it is.

HTC plans to offer Zoe app for all Android phones

Looks like HTC will be opening the gates for Android users who want to use their Zoe application. Re/code reports it will make this proprietary software available to Android users with the latest OS version through Google Play. Zoe is an app that lets you take three-second video clips and a series of stills. The app will then stitch this together to create a moving memory of a certain moment, complete with sound. They didn’t say when this will support other devices but it is reported to be making its way to the Play Store this week.

Google Play Store screenshots show possible introduction of offline mode for YouTube

Offline mode for Google has been discussed in the past few months and it would seem we are getting a bit closer to that becoming a reality. Or at least we hope so. Droid Life reports that new screenshots for YouTube on the Google Play Store show a tab that has Offline on it. This obviously alludes to the Offline Mode that would let users cache videos for several days on their gadgets so they can watch videos even when they aren’t online. Google hasn’t really made an official announcement yet but we really hope they introduce this soon.
