Title: Jremote2 and Google Play Store Family Share Option
Post by: kjhkjh123 on December 13, 2019, 01:37:03 pm
Just purchased JREMOTE2 for my tablet and it is fast and in the past 30 minutes seems to be a great improvement to gizmo which I like.

The question is, can this app be shared to my wife's gmail playstore account to install on her tablet or do I need to buy it for her account too.  It looks like it can be shared but it doesn't show up in her account.  Hopefully Jim can answer so I can take advantage of the $5 price for the other tablet.

Thanks

It's tied to one gmail account.

Any apps or games purchased after July 2, 2016 are eligible to be added to Family Library. If you purchased the app or game before July 2, 2016, it’s eligible for Family Library if the developer has made past purchases available. You can find out whether this is the case by tapping Read More on the app’s details page.

In the past, I've had issues adding a Beta app to the Family Library.  I know in one case I had to uninstall the beta version and install the standard one for it to show in the library. 

I use the Shared Library quite a bit because I have a work and a personal cell.  I do not have my main Google account associated to my work cell, but instead have made another Google account just for that cell and made it a member of my Google family.  This enables purchased apps on one account to be used with another.
