My mobile has 1Weather on it. I'd like to subscribe because I like it and it's more accurate than others. When I try to pay for premium, the account it selects (on my Android) is not my main one. Does anyone know a way to change the account that Google Play selects?

I think it will choose the active account that Google Play is set-up for when you try to purchase it. on Google Play, hit the icon top right and then Switch Account.

I've had this with my SMS app - when I get a new phone I have to make sure that I switch to the account I purchased it with - which is not my main android account and I must have purchased it via this one by accident.

In case anyone is wondering I have a paid for SMS App because 6 years ago I started receiving a load of unsolicited texts, so looked for an App that would just block texts from anyone not in my contact list - I found Mezo SMS (was called something different back then). Was very impressed with it and bought a lifetime licence - has moved a couple of phones, and if an upgrade breaks the licence, an uninstall and reinstall via the correct account gets the premium features back.

Cheers. The problem is that I can't buy Premium from within Google Play, only via the app.
From this screen, all I can do is add a payment card/type, but can't select another account.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it's sorted now! Should have tried that first!
