Interested users may simply tap the pre-register icon to show their interest. Pre-registration is free for Android customers, and there's no obligation to download or buy the app once it is live.

The process sets up an alert that prompts a user once the app is available. It is not a lock-in, since users can cancel their interest if they have a change of heart, TechCrunch reported.
