The new feature should help developers determine interest and maximize hype before their apps are released.

Next time you hear or read about a new Android app, you can easily set up an alert so you don’t miss it when it gets on Google Play.

There is now an option to “pre-register” for apps and games on Google Play before they come out, and your device will get a notification when they are available to download or buy.

Right now, it seems a game based on the upcoming Terminator Genisys movie is the first app to be blessed with the pre-register option, although the choice is entirely up to developers to post or not to post their apps to the store early with a pre-register button.

The new feature should help developers determine interest and maximize hype before their apps are released. Also, if you pre-register and then change your mind on the app, you can simply deregister any time you want.
