       Whoever made this is a genius."Yalp Store lets you download apps directly from Google Play Store as apk files. It can search for updates of installed apps and lets you search for other apps. Yalp saves downloaded apks to your default download folder."Yalp is available from F-Droid.You can use the Play Store without a Google account but you cannot download paid apps. Yalp also handles the updates too.#fuckgoogle

       @politicalcustard I seem to remember vaguely that there was a fork of Yalp with another name that was suggested to me before because it was "better" (according to the suggester). Forgot the name..

       @stevenroose It's called Aurora, someone told me about it in a reply to my original post. Another recommendation I got was for Aptoid which I've started using instead of Yalp.https://www.aptoide.com/

       @politicalcustardAptoide is not the same as Yalp or Aurora store. Aptoide is an invitation to get backdoored software in. I've stopped using it long time ago. Only using Yalp store for a handful of apps. When using Aptoide better check checksums and keys or stop using it. #aptoide@stevenroose

       @politicalcustard @stevenrooseBecause anyone can upload to Aptoide. It is a mess. I only found out after comparing checksums.

       @politicalcustardYalp is play backwards, I pointed that out to someone on here recently and blew their mind

       @noorul @stevenroose @Ajz Another thing I noticed about Aptiode, other than the ads, is that the apps it was recommending required loads of unnecessary  permissions. Very dodgy.
