[deleted post]Don't be too quick to label people. Personal insults are the refrain of the weak.
INSTALL is actually ok, except iTunes App Store already used this word previously, for apps that were already paid for or downloaded previously, but then deleted from the iPhone, which is why they may have gone for GET instead.

'Get' also implies the person does not have the app yet, unlike an app that the person has already bought before and deleted.

This is a good move by Apple, which hopefully is also taken up by everyone. Free-mium model is misleading and a lot of people end up spending more than normal priced games.

Freemium trend exploded when a report came up that Apps with in-app purchases make more money than 0.99$ apps. After that the MBA goons might have influenced this over every studio.

Anonymous, 20 Nov 2014This is why you should never get an MBA, you just follow trends.Nope. Not about following trends. The companies are trying to safe guard themselves. People get to sue companies like Apple and Google saying 'The App said "free" but my credit card got charged for $100 in app purchases thanks to my son/daughter' and the courts seem to accept those cases..
