For many of us who want to be the first to try applications, we have no choice but to look for alternative stores to Play Store from which to download APK files. This can sometimes bring surprises, since these APKs may contain some type of modification or malware. For this reason, we show you how to download APK files from the Play Store without installing the application .
We all know that when we access the Play Store, we can not download the APK file , it just lets us install it or uninstall it. We will solve this problem with a small free application called Apk Downloader that we found in the Google Play Store itself.
How to download APK files from Play Store without installing the application.
Once we install the Apk Downloader app, we see that we have a simple interface in front of which to download any APK and even allows us to choose the country of download. We can access the section "Search" , where we can find an application by its name and once located we proceed to the APK download .
If we already know the name of the package (it is included in the URL of Play Store) we can use it directly in the "Download" section . After that we only have to select the country from which we want the download to be made and press the "Download" button.
This feature of selecting the country, allows us to skip the typical restrictions that some developers put on their apps, which are only available in certain regions.
The Apk Downloader application is simple and its use is not complicated. The interface does not have anything of the other world either. We are just going to review the "Settings" section, where we can set the name of the folder where the APK files will be downloaded.
I must also remind you that to install APK files downloaded to our device, we will have to activate the option "Unknown origins" in the security settings. Also, if you are going to use Apk Downloader, you should know that it is not useful to download Premium paid applications and that it contains advertising at the bottom.
