Facebook Chat is a messaging system developed by the Facebook Company for its social network users, and through it you can chat with any of your friends quickly. Facebook provides us a suite of applications from where we can use Facebook Chat, but on Macs there is a dedicated application. Those who still want to access the chat using an application, they can configure the Messages application offered by Apple since OS X Mountain Lion.

Everything starts from the assumption that you already have an iMessage/Yahoo account set in Messages app, otherwise you need to connect using one.

For years users ask Apple to implement a system were App Store applications to be tested before being purchased, but unfortunately the U.S. Company refused to do so.

Basically developers could choose as their applications to be available in trial version for 1/7/30 days, and after the expiration of that term application would become inaccessible until its purchase.

Developers can choose whether to allow a trial of 1, 7 or 30 days, or to disallow trials all together, on a per-app basis. For those apps that allow trials, the App Store would show a “Try for 7 days” button alongside “Buy app”. If you install the trial app, it gets flagged with a “Trial” flag over the icon, in a similar way to the “New” flag that was introduced in iOS 6.
