People can get free apps or pay for some apps. They can also find and download movies, TV shows, books, and music. Google Play started on March 6, 2012. It brought together Android Market, Google Music, Google Movies, and Google Books under one name.

You can use Google Play on your Android phone or tablet, or even on the web. Each person's Google Account can hold many things to enjoy, like music to listen to, books to read, and videos to watch.

Google Play helps users find apps by letting them search using names or keywords. The store shows lists of top apps in groups like "Top Free" and "Top Paid." These lists help users find popular and new apps.
