79 sen malaysia maybe?

Sorry, I re-check my SMS again, it was USD0.79
I was very sure before clicking accept and buy, it was clearly stated USD0.25 in google play.
I logined to my hong Leong account to verify but unfortunately the transaction was not updated yet.

Just curious, how much does each app costs for you guys? Mine is RM0.79 after transaction.

Which bank ? I use HLB MasterCard debit and was charged USD0.79 as stated in the payment notification SMS. I guess it must be some kind of mistake.

Mine is SGD, company is connected to S'pore VPN and Google Play recognizes me as Singapore IP. Therefore all the prices are quoted in SGD. smile.gif

Nice drool.gif but do take note some bank/cc will do the double convert ie SGD > USD > MYR

My HTC Android phone can't buy Sketchbook Pro, so I used PC to buy Sketchbook pro for my yet to be purchased future Nexus 7 tablet. Fortunately, my previous Asus TF android tablet (already sold) still listed as one of the devices in my google account and I was prompted by google play to send the app to Asus TF before I can't proceed with the purchase. I proceeded and managed to buy the Sketchbook Pro.
My questions:
1) Will the Asus TF receive the Sketchbook pro app even though the said tablet had been factory reset and registered to the google account of the new owner ?

2) Any other consequences ?

No it will not , as app is tied to google ID NOT the physical unit
Next time just download it again from your new tablet  as it is now already registered as purchase

Thanks for the clarification. notworthy.gif

Time to ask my friend to logout my account from her S3. I just borrowed her S3 to install apps until I get my GNote2. biggrin.gif

That's the end for 25c deal, hope more of similar deals will pop up soon. biggrin.gif

If you previously owned an android phone before, you can login to google play via PC version to buy. I did that for sketchbook pro for my yet to owned nexus 7 tablet. I previously owned Asus transformer tablet before and it still listed as one of the devices in my google account.

Now you do. Even after your friend log your google account out of her S3, it will still remain as your device in google account. Say, if you still want to buy today, you can login to google play via pc to buy. No need to trouble your friend any more.

I didn't ask her to logout because I feel that it's not nice to do this.
So, I said she can install whatever that I have bought. smile.gif
I believe yes, she will still receive despite has logged me out from her phone.

Oh really ? in that case Ive just given my Asus TF's new owner a free Sketchbook Pro even though I already factory reset the tablet few months ago biggrin.gif
However uncle benny said my previouly owned Asus would not recieve the app I bought thru PC. hmm.gif
