Not a single one. All apps and games in the service that would potentially have ads, are completely ad-free when you have a Play Pass subscription. This goes along with the lack of microtransactions. As you also avoid in-app purchases when you subscribe.

Are downloads shared between family members?
No. Google set things up so that any downloads are not shared between Play Pass subscribers. This will help prevent your device from being loaded up with games or apps you would never play or use.

Do I need an Android device to access the service?

Yes. Play Pass is only available for Android devices. Though, that does include both smartphones and tablets. Your device will need to run Android 4.4 or later, and have the Play Store version 16.6.25 or later for the service to work.

What happens to downloads if I cancel Play Pass?
Play Pass is a subscription service. While it’s active, you can download and use games or apps free of charge instead of paying for them. They’ll also be free of ads and of in-app/in-game purchases, as mentioned above.

If you cancel your Play Pass subscription though, you will lose access to those games or apps. You will however be able to continue using them for the remaining days of your subscription.

How do I manage my Play Pass subscription?
This is pretty simple as well. The same as any other subscription from the Play Store – from the menu. Subscriptions will be listed right under the library option in the user menu that you access from the top right corner of the Play Store app.

Are there any issues with the service?
The main issue is still the same one that Play Pass has had since its launch. Though it’s less of an issue now than it was back in the beginning – that there aren’t really that many games or apps available as part of the service.

Another problem is the quality of the content that is available. Some of the content included is lacking. However, everyone’s taste is different and some users will find the library of content in Play Pass to be just fine.

Can I sign up for Play Pass with a work or school account?
Unfortunately, no. Play Pass is only available to personal Google accounts and not those tied to work or school.
