This post explains the different methods that can be employed in getting the APK file on an Android app with or without Playstore installed on your devices.
1. APK Downloader
APK downloader is a tool that fetches the installer file for any free Android app on Playstore. It exists both as an online tool and as an extension for Google chrome browser on PC.- To make use of the online version, click on this link.
- while on the APK downloader page, open a new tab in your web browser and search for the app you want to download on your device, for example; if I want to download the APK file for BlackBerry Messenger on my device, I'll just have to type 'BlackBerry Messenger for Android' in my Google search box and the search should return with what I have in the screenshot below.
- With this on your screen, click on the link and select to open it in your browser.
- After the page has been successfully loaded, just copy the URL of the page and paste it in the box on the APK downloader site after which you click on the Generate Download link button.
- After loading a few seconds, you should be presented with a link to download the App on your device.
- Click the link to download the file to your device after which you can then install it successfully.
2. Downloading From Trusted Third Party sites.
Fear not! For the sites I'm about to introduce you to are trusted and the apps are 100% virus free.
In fact, application developers/reviewers can really approve the genuinity and safety of the apps you download from this sites as there are no differences with those installed from playstore.
ApkMirror
Mistakenly uninstalled a Google app? ApkMirror is a good source to get it replaced. With thousands of apps hosted safely on their servers and updated as soon as available, I have never been disappointed by this site and I hope you won't too. You can access ApkMirror by clicking Here
Apk4Fun
Another trustworthy site to get the installer file for free Android apps is apk4fun. Applications and games from different categories can be easily downloaded from their different servers. Also you can easily get games and their additional obb files from the site. You can access Apk4fun from this link.
This has been my best resources for getting APK files for my Android device when it seems almost impossible to get it installed.
Note: It is always advisable to first attempt to install your apps/games from playstore first. All of these are just alternatives to getting the apps installed if you encounter problems with installing from playstore.
