•On 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 smartphone and tablet), and even set new apps to download to your devices.

•Music, Books & Movies: You can also use the Google Play Store app to download “Music on Google Play™”, “Books on Google Play™”, and “Movies & TV on Google Play™”.

•Help: To get help and more, tap 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 smartphone’s performance—see “Choose carefully”.

To let your smartphone install apps that are not from Google Play, tap Apps > Settings > Security and

check Unknown sources.

To download files from your browser, see “Downloads”.

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 smartphone or privacy, use apps from trusted sites, like the Google Play™ Store.

•In the 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 information. Take care, especially when it comes to personal health.
