Some apps offer full features, whereas some might limit your use. Either way, you can get a pretty good idea whether you want to continue with the purchase or not.

Below, you’ll find some apps that take advantage of the “try before you buy” feature. Download them to check them out with no obligation.

Tweet It! – $2.99

Tweet-It!

Billed as a “top Twitter client for Windows Phone,” Tweet It! is a favorite, if the reviews are anything to go by.

This app has a very different look than the official Twitter app, with animations, transparent backgrounds, even a #nowplaying feature that posts the music you’re listening to.

If you choose to continue with the purchase, you’ll remove the in-app adds, sign-in to more than one account and more.

Plants-vs.-Zombies

In this game, a battle as old as time rages between plants and zombies. Well, this may not be your conventional end-of-days scenario, but it’s fun, nonetheless.
