APK Downloader

APK Downloader Direct download apps of the Google apps store without using Google Play.

APK Downloader is a Firefox extension that enables users to download Android APK files directly from the Google Play Store website without needing the official Google Play app. This tool is especially helpful for users facing device or country restrictions in the Google Play Store. It adds a convenient "Download APK" button on Google Play pages, linking to the APK Downloader service at ApkGK.com.

Key features include easy setup, the ability to download APK expansion files (.OBB), and full Firefox support. After downloading, users can manually install APK files on their Android devices by transferring APKs and OBB or Data folders to the appropriate locations on their device's storage. This extension offers a practical way to access app files that might otherwise be unavailable due to regional or device limitations.
