Buy an application

Buy an application using your billing account or by entering a promo code

A promo code allows you to purchase one or more App Catalog apps for free. You might receive a promo code for a specific app, or a general code that allows you to purchase one or more apps up to a specific dollar amount.

You need to have a billing account set up in App Catalog to purchase apps with a promo code—however, your account is not charged when you use the code. If you do not have a promo code for an app, the purchase is billed to your billing account.

You can also purchase an app directly from a promo code link (see Buy an application directly from a promo code link).

2Browse to the app you want (see Browse applications in HP webOS App Catalog).

TIP You can also tap the app name to open the app details screen, and tap the price at the top of the screen.

4If the application uses Location Services, a notification appears (see Location Services). Tap Continue.
