Website to download Apps??
We have a tablet that does not have Google play on it and looks like we wont be able to get it on so is there a website where we can download some Apps then onto the tablet?
im sure i did it a couple of years ago but can not remember which site it was. |

Many thanks for that will give that a try later today but would that work if i have download play from a 3rd party site?
In theory it should, I would have thought, if it's a legit version of Google Play. |

Back home now so here’s the link.
http://www.freewarelovers.com/android Lot of stuff on there seems out of date so I assume not many user use sideways loading any more. Download the apk file for whatever, tap it to install. You need to go to Menu>Settings>Security>Unknown sources and tick the box there before any of the apk files will install. |

Here are some alternative app stores you could try:
Amazon Appstore for Android GetJar Slide ME F-Droid Or you can try this site here, it gives links to the latest version of the google play store as well as older versions: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/11...-store-4-4-22/ |

Go into the Play Store, click on the menu button, select “Auto-update apps” then select “do not auto update apps”.
Not sure what’s wrong with the new version? Do you have problems with it? but i dont want it to update as i want to see if i use a old version i can then see if it still forces closes on me. |
