How To Download Android Apps Without The Google Play Store

Getting Android apps without using the official Google Play Store can be a mixed bag, depending on where you choose to get your apps. While Android lets you install any app you want, you'll need to be cautious about where these files come from. And some popular devices, aren't preinstalled with the Google Play Store. As such, we recommend Getmodnow for your app needs because it is a brand we know and trust. This guide covers how to install or "sideload" Android apps using the popular service.

How to download and install apps from Getmodnow

If you prefer video instructions over reading the steps in a guide, we included a quick six-minute walkthrough of the process that you can watch below. If text is more your style, though, read on.
Android has both normal APKs and split APKs or Android App Bundles. Android App Bundles save bandwidth and storage space, but they make it hard for people to share apps with one another outside the Google Play Store. That's because each Android phone model runs a slightly different app version, creating a fragmented user experience. But Getmodnow and the Getmodnow Installer app eliminate that problem by allowing you to install all modern app formats equally.

To get install apps on your device, do the following:

Download and install the Getmodnow Installer app from the Google Play Store. You can download it from the Google Play Store, then use Getmodnow to install or update your apps afterward. Otherwise, grab the Getmodnow Installer app from the official Getmodnow website.
Visit the Getmodnow website and search for an app you want to install on your Android device. You can browse apps by APK, app, and developer names. When you sort by app or developer rather than APK, choose the version of the app you want. If this doesn't matter to you, the latest non-beta version also works. Scroll down to All versions and find the one you need.
Tap the Download icon on the right side of the app you want.
Tap the app that matches the version you need, and then scroll down to the Download section. Or tap the See Available Downloads button toward the top to jump to the Download section. You may have more than one option available. If that's the case, check the FAQ and do some research to determine which version is appropriate for your phone.
Tap the Download arrow to the right for the app variant you want to install.
Tap the Download APK Bundle or Download APK button.
When asked whether you'd like to save the file, you might see a warning that the file format/extension is potentially dangerous. If you trust Getmodnow as a source, allow it.
The app variant you selected is downloaded to your device's internal storage and is ready to be installed from here.
