Dicionario Portugues, which translates to the Dead Man's Hand, is a software developer based in Brazil. It is one of the leading software companies in the country and focuses on creating applications for mobile devices. Since it started developing software in 1998, the company has created or collaborated with big names such as Microsoft, Sony, Nike, Adidas and several others to name a few. Since the company is a private company, the free Android Market application is not available to users in the country.
However, users can still download the Android Market application for free from Google Play. The Play Store application offers free software downloads and most Android phones are compatible with the Android Market. This means that users will not have to pay any amount of money to be able to download the Android applications.
One of the reasons why Dicionario Locusta chose to only offer free software for its users is because the company believes that a business should not depend on just one single source of income. The company feels that there are a lot of users who would want to download the Android software and those who do not want to. The company therefore has developed several other paid applications and has also created an app specifically for iPhones and iPad users. Users of these devices can download Dicionario Locusta for free and then choose to upgrade to the paid version or purchase the software in order to have more advanced features.
