This still doesn't clear up quite how free users will be affected by the inevitable switch to a paid Splashtop 2 HD app, but hey, at least if you're using the old version, you could maybe score some free Anywhere Access! When the app does turn paid, the company says it will cost a one-time fee of $9.99.

This may mean that even users who download it for free now could be paying in the future. Or, perhaps, the charge will be implemented via a new in-app purchase. They might remove the free listing, create a paid listing, and then all current users can continue to use it (sans updates, of course) as long as they don't uninstall the app. Now, Splashtop 2 HD has hit the Play Store, bringing pinch-to-zoom support, a new interface, and a very attractive price tag of free, for the time being.Īs of right now, the app is free on the Play Store, however Splashtop says that this deal will only be available 'for a limited time.'
