6 of the best Android apps Not on Google Play Store

 There are over a million Android apps on Google Play, but some particularly good apps are left out because they violate Google's terms. However, you can always take their apk and install them if you wish.

This article list six of the best apps not available on the Play Store. Be sure to allow installation from unknown sources in the security settings of your device before attempting to install any of the listed applications.

1. TubeMate

TubeMate is a very popular YouTube download application that is obviously not allowed on the Play Store because of Google's restrictions. It also supports downloading videos from other sites such as Facebook, Vimeo and DailyMotion among others. While the interface is a bit clunky and riddled with ads, this works fine for what it's worth and lets you download videos in a variety of formats and resolutions.

You are prompted to download the apk from verified websites because there are many false and infected TubeMate applications on the Internet. An alternative to TubeMate is Video downloder which has an attractive interface but slower download speeds compared to TubeMate in my experience.

2. MiXPlorer

MiXPlorer is one of the best Android file managers out there with a very neat user interface and many features that should interest casual users and dynamic users. For one, it offers tabulation support and a dual panel mode on large screens, which helps if you work with multiple files at once. You can also access your cloud files with up to seventeen services to select, including all popular ones such as Google Drive, Dropbox, MEGA and Onedrive.

MiXPlorer also supports root access for advanced operations, advanced search functions and a highly customizable user interface. Overall, this is a very balanced file manager that you can get for free that has no ads

3. Lucky Patcher

Lucky Patcher is an application that allows you to edit other Android applications in different ways. You will need a rooted device to exploit all this super power of this application. You can perform multiple actions with this application, such as removing license checking for premium applications, editing apk files, deleting Google ads, and backing up and restoring applications. It is best to make a full backup of your applications and data before using this application, as this may result in data loss

4. F-droid

F-droid is the market for free and open-source Android software. The F-droid client download allows you to easily find and install open-source applications and also allows you to track updates on your device. It is highly recommended for open source amateurs.

5. Popcorn Time

Popcorn Time allows you to watch movies and TV shows on your Android device either streaming or downloading to watch offline. There are literally thousands of high quality movies here, and you can search for specific titles or browse available collections. We also debated the legality of this application, so you might want to use it with caution

6. Adaway

Adaway is a free and open source ad blocker for Android. It was previously available on Google Play, but was later removed after violating a section of the Google Developer Agreement. You can install it from F-droid nevertheless. Adaway requires root access to work, and it is only available for Android 2.1 devices and higher.
 Do not forget to allow installation from unknown sources and inform us of any other useful
