Google Play Store

The Google Play store app is the place to go to find new Android apps, games, movies, music, and books for your phone. Choose from a wide variety of free and paid apps ranging from productivity apps to games. When you find an app you want, you can easily download and install it on your phone.

To access the Google Play store app, you must first connect to the Internet using your phone’s Wi-Fi or Sprint 4G or 3G data connection and sign in to your Google Account. See Web and Data and Google Account for details.

Important: Sprint’s policies often do not apply to third-party applications. Third-party applications may access your personal information or require Sprint to disclose your customer information to the third-party application provider. To find out how a third-party application will collect, access, use, or disclose your personal information, check the application provider’s policies, which can usually be found on their website. If you are not comfortable with the third-party application’s policies, don’t use the application.
