Google Play Store

The Google Play Store is a massive application repository designed for Android that holds hundreds of thousands of applications, games and books. The Google Play Store offers a massive collection of both free and paid Android applications that ChromeOS users can use on their devices. You can purchase paid applications via a credit card or via a prepaid Google Play Gift Card balance (in select countries).

Most ChromeOS devices released after 2015 have access to the Google Play Store, which opens the door to countless applications designed to work offline and online.

Most Android applications will work on a ChromeOS device. However, many Android applications were written with Android phones in mind and may not scale properly on larger displays. There are several Android applications that require a touchscreen to function properly. As the market share for devices running ChromeOS continues to grow, a larger number of developers are improving support for ChromeOS in their applications and games.
