This scripts adds 8 download buttons to the Play Store, to allow the user to get the apks without a phone or a Google account. This script creates button links to the app on APK-DL, APKPure, APKCombo, APKPremier, APKMirror, Evozi, Aptoide and APK.support.
Only free apps can be downloaded. You can try this script also on apps that have not been released yet: if you're lucky, you'll be able to download them!




Direct download for APK-DL and ApkPure relies on GM.xmlHttpRequest function, which is not a standard Web API, but a Greasemonkey's API supported also by Tampermonkey.

For this reason, in the header of the script you will find @connect permissions for servers other than Google's: these permissions allow the script to request resources from the websites serving the APK files.

Tested and working on GreaseMonkey, TamperMonkey and ViolentMonkey. Partially compatible with Greasemonkey for Palemoon (APKPure and APKCombo buttons not working).





How does it work?

  • APK-DL: when clicked, it directly starts the download. If a captcha is required, click on the "CAPTCHA" button to open APK-DL in another tab to put the captcha, then continue with the download.
  • APKPure: the easiest button! It automaticaly starts the download without any other input. APK+OBB and splitted APKs are downloaded as a single XAPK file. Unfortunately, APKPure.com is blocked in China.
  • APKPremier: same servers of APKPure (winudf.com), same XAPK files for splitted installers and APK+OBB. the only difference is that apkpremier.com is not blocked in China, so if you are browsing from China, this is the suggested option. Thanks to @wjyttpax for suggesting this site.
  • APKCombo: usually the script starts the download of the universal APK file. If the version it downloads is not the right one, right click on the button and open a new tab to see all the possible APK files for that app.
  • Evozi: this button opens a tab with on Evozi with the app's download page.
  • APKMirror: this is the official AndroidPolice.com store. The button opens the app page on APKMirror in a new tab. Differently from the other sites, APKMirror does not retrieve the latest APK on the fly. Instead, files are manually uploaded on the website. The main disadvantage is that not all apps are available. The great thing is that you can also find older versions of the app you want. Even though the apps are manually uploaded, APKMirror has no warez or viruses, as each of them is checked before publishing.
  • Aptoide: this website is very fast, but not all the apps are available, and the format in which they are distributed is chaotic (sometimes a single APK, others split APKs, OBBs might be included or not...). Recently introduced in this script and not tested extensively.
  • APK.support: works exactly as APKCombo.


How to install splitted APKs?

Splitted apks, XAPK files and similar formats can all be installed using SAI (Split APK installer).

APKMirror, APKPure and APKCombo also provide their own apps to install their splitted apk formats. Lucky Patcher is also capable of installing some of these splitted apk files.
