APK downloader for Google Play store

[The_Librarian]

Good afternoon

Not sure if this has been asked or answered before...

I am looking at some solution which will enable me to download the installer (or APK) from the Play store.

A backup program will not assist, as I have purchased some games on the Play store, and made these available for my family.

Basically I just want to download the APK file, and be able to reinstall it without having to download it all over and waste time and precious bandwidth.

TIA

Google play family share https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/7007852?hl=en

Most of the games we own are already on family share.

The issue is bandwidth. Want to download these to an USB stick for reinstalls going forward.

Just copy the Google Play app links into apkpure.com and download the apps to your PC. Or use Aurora Store on your phone to download the apps and then copy them to a USB device or use some app like Shareit to share the apps with wifi to the other devices.

Firstly .
to consider
Google search reports.......

.............................................
Is it legal to download from APKPure?


APKPure is legal, but the site may contain illegal content, such as cracked or pirated apps.22 Sept 2023

APKPure lacks sufficient security measures.

Its apps don't go through security testing to ensure they're safe for users. Therefore, downloading them is a huge security and privacy risk, as they likely contain security vulnerabilities that can easily be exploited by hackers and bad actors.29 Jan 2024

Then lastly ,
If you going to sideload an Apk
you going to encounter numerous issues .

eg Google Play protect will most likely pick "it up "etc block it /
Only way around this is to switch off Play Protect and then your device is at risk ?

Especially if you have
eg banking apps /personal details like passwords etc .on that device ?

further issues ....?
Games won't work ./data cache of the games could be corrupt
Device open to be infected with virus /adverts / scams ?

Remenber
The Apk and game data must be optimised for that particular handset .!

My take is it is not worth sideloading game Apk etc .
I have over the years done this .
Under "today " conditions is just not worth it .

Yes ,
Maybe if your device is rooted and Apk /data is" modified " etc ?

Then .....
Yes in most cases sideloading an Apk could /would work ok ?
but unfortunately is not that easy just to sideload ......especially
various games and game data .
Good luck .
