How do I share apps between users in Android 4.4 KitKat? My kids received the second-generation Nexus 7 tablet as a gift.  I'd like to be able to purchase apps from one account and share them between the various users on the tablet.

Some articles about the topic indicate adding a different user to the play store, but I see no such functionality in Android 4.4 KitKat.

Is there a way to share apps between users?
One alternative is "Multi-User App Share", which is available from the Play Store.


You can share an installed app with other users.
Data from the app will not be shared.
Shared paid apps will most likely not be validated when used, provided your tablet has a network connection.
You will need root to be able to do this.
