However,
there are a few apps which are extremely useful but not available in all
countries. Or maybe you’re in an area for a longer period of time where your
device itself doesn't have internet.
The app
you’d like might not even be found in the Google Play Store — although this is
a rare occurrence. No matter what the issue at hand is, it’d be great if you
can manually install, or “side load”, apps onto your Android device. But how do
you do this?
Downloading Apk file: Officially, you cannot get the APK files of any app directly from the Google Play Store. However, there is an Google chrome extension which can download them — albeit breaking the Play Store’s Terms of Service.
