There are a lot of questions that start
with "Why…" when it comes to Android apps, but the most annoying of them all why
would not a well-known app from Play Store not work on all devices. Considering
that Android devices are not restricted to download and install only from Play
store like all iDevices do with App Store, users can test non-Market apps by
activating Unknown sources on their Android device. We have seen in the past
apps or ports of some apps work on devices where developers said that won’t
work or there are region locked. But not all developers obey this marketing
scheme and they really say that their app won’t work on some device because of
deprecated hardware configuration or old Android version.
You can download any free app that has
restrictions from Play Store to your device using this cool web tool called APK
Downloader. I think some of you did not understand the mechanism, well to make
it simple here’s an example. Because I own Samsung Galaxy S with stock Android
2.3.4 I can’t install BBM on my device. So in this case I had two ways by
generating a download link first using the Play Store app address or the name
of the package in my case com.bbm. After using this tool for a while I was
stunned to see that most apps worked well on my device. If you want to test
restricted apps just visit http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/
