I did not know that about android. You can’t migrate your apps from an old phone to a new phone?
Yes you can, I'm not sure what was the issue of OP but all apps (including paid) are linked to your google account, so they are available on any phone linked to your google account
I guess for most people they see Google Play as an integral part of Android... ask Huawei what happens if Google can't do business with you or what if you don't like google so much.
Of course, one would be even worse off with Apple where there is no decent open source option to speak of, which GP is most likely to be locked into.

Google Play app purchases are tied to your account, not your phone. You don't need to try purchase when you get a new phone.
Can I migrate them to my work phone? In any case, I don't use "Google Play".

They are completely free and you don't have to pay for every upgrade. They're open source, just get the builds from f-droid instead of the paid play store builds. You can still pay to support the developer.
Maybe this is the root of the problem and contention in this thread. It seems even people who are reasonably technically savvy, as demonstrated by some posts, think that it requires various payments. How did they come to this conclusion?

#86I have used some of these on and off. In general, they are simple and functional and seem to be well made and privacy respecting ... but they are only "free" if you don't mind the nag screen and the orange theme which can only be changed in the purchased version. What I don't like about purchased apps is the fact that you have to pay again for every upgrade. And I have to pay twice since I use 2 phones --- one privat…
> they are only "free" if you don't mind the nag screen and the orange theme which can only be changed in the purchased version Wow, add a gimmick as a little perk to those who donate without actually impairing functionality for free users and next thing people will comment on how annoying it is that the color orange can't be changed. I've never before heard someone complain that a color can't be changed in an app, i…
Doesn't bother me either now that I use a different app.

Note GP asked about Android and you're speaking of a Google Play account that you can login to from more than one device to access its content including previously purchased content. I guess for most people they see Google Play as an integral part of Android... ask Huawei what happens if Google can't do business with you or what if you don't like google so much.

#88I love these apps, they are great. I donated to the developer and really recommend doing the same.

Then where did you get them that you paid for them?
Read carefully --- I never said that I did.
