Google has launched paid apps in 12 countries across Africa.
What this means is that developers in these countries can now set prices for their Android apps listed on the Play Store. Users in these countries previously only had access to free apps.
The Countries are
- Chad
- Comoros
- Congo (DRC)
- Congo (Republic)
- Djibouti
- Eritrea
- The Gambia
- Liberia
- Libya
- Somalia
- Seychelles
- Sierra Leone
In all of these new countries, the Play Store may display the price of apps in the buyer’s local currency, but will process the transaction in the currency of where the developer is based.
Google has been aggressively expanding support for paid apps in smaller markets including many across Africa.
