Cloud Store is predominantly distributed as a pre-installed app by phone manufacturers. It is released on Google Play Store to facilitate app updates. For users without Cloud Store pre-installed, a paid subscription is required as a barrier and reminder that the app is not for them. The subscription costs $1/month with a 7-day free trial.
Cloud Store is a game changer to bridge the digital divide. A virtual app in the cloud is far superior to a physical app in the hand. A virtual app, a Cloud App in WebAPK, with 100KB in size is a thousand times smaller than a native app with 100MB in size. A cloud app on a $30 to $60 super-affordable phone can outperform the native app on a $150 to $300 mid-range phone.
