Amazon recently discontinued the ability test Android applications before purchasing. Launched in March 2011, TestDrive let Android device owners test for-pay apps before actually paying for them. According to Amazon, many apps have since changed to the "free to play" business model, which allows people to download and use most apps for free. Often, these apps only charge for additional features or services. This led to a significant decline in the number of people using TestDrive. Amazon shut down the TestDrive program, effective April 15.
