While regular apps contain resources for every imaginable screen size and architecture, app bundles only include the components that your specific device needs, organized into split APKs. Thankfully, after over a year of development, and a significant amount of work by APKMirror's talented developers, the solution is finally here: the APKMirror Installer app. You cannot download, update, or upload apps through the Installer directly, because then it would essentially be an app store.
In its current form, APKMirror Installer is no different than a file manager, which means we can distribute it on the Play Store without breaking Google's guidelines. It's not an open format, but it's an encrypted one that you can be sure is safe to install you can read our full explanation here.

Other times, apps that are distributed on the Play Store roll out updates progressively, so when it comes to playing with the latest cutting-edge features you might read about in our coverage, you may not have access to them yet.

It might take you a minute to learn to navigate things like the different APK versions based on hardware platform or "DPI," but it's generally straightforward to get what you need.
The apps that you download from APKMirror are unmolested and securely signed by their developers. We make sure that all APK cryptographic signatures are verified to match the originals either previous updates or versions distributed on the Play Store , and we match new applications to known signatures from developers. In the event we can't verify an app's signature, APKMirror won't have it. For the non-technically minded, that all means we're as sure as we can be that the apps we're distributing are safe.
Three, there is absolutely zero pirated content on APKMirror. While you might be able to get around geographic restrictions or censorship, APKMirror doesn't provide "cracked" or pirated versions of apps though we do host some modified apps, like Google apps tweaked to work with more devices.
Android Police and APKMirror are here to help developers, not make their lives harder or take away their ability to earn a living.
Connecting with our previous point regarding safety and security, many apps modified to provide paid or premium features for free also have malware or spyware hiding inside them, which you don't want.
