Goog finance enters android and subs based apps criteria

Other than Bloomberg or other financial information and tracking device. Google finance which are still on beta version on the desktop application, already being converted into android GUI as per below information (and I believe it is completely free, as it's also being offered on the desktop version)

Generally, the information provided is very concise and my personal opinion, more user-friendly than Bloomberg

Going back to the concern of subscription based apps, how can we establish the criteria of which type of applications are going to sell in the market? Because taking into consideration what Apple would most likely do with the planned subs based apps which actually is information based apps (i.e. newspaper, which certainly less beneficial for Goog to go forward in consideration to their main capability as a "search engine")

Subs based apps definition > "A subscription-based model means users could be asked to pay for new levels of a game or to purchase additional content without leaving the application"

Hope we can put this into consideration before we move forward with subs based apps recommendation for Goog

Cheers
