6. Yalp Store

To use Google Play Store you need all the GSM Apps on Android irrespective of its necessity. But today I will tell you about an App Store which lets you download Apps from Play Store without actually using the Play Store.
This App store developed by independent Developers at F-Droid.org is called as Yalp Store. This store has some unique features which you won’t find in any alternatives to the Google Play Store. So, let us read in detail the features;

Features of Yalp Store – Play Store Without Gmail Account

  • You can install apps from the Play Store without using Google Play Store.
  • You can download updates when released from the Yalp Store itself
  • The store lets you download  APKs and install updates directly from the Google Play Store without having to install Gapps or the GMS suite.
  • App design is very simple.
  • You can download Apps without Google Account
  • Great depth of App filtration; Paid Apps, Apps with Ads etc

7. APKMirror (Unofficial)

If you’re looking for a simpler way to access APKs from Play Store, you can download the APK’s from the third party Apps which offer App files for Free. Though you won’t be downloading the APK directly from Google, the APK hosting websites like APKMirror are safe and trusted sources. They let you download the files which are freely available on Google Store but you cannot get access to paid ones as they have strict policies against piracy and unethical app hosting. But you can get access to some Apps which cannot be hosted on Google Store due to ToS and also get access to Beta and old versions of the App. Though not exactly APK extraction from Play Store, but the files are checked and saved over a secure server for users to download.
