About APKPure
APKPure is a website and Android app for finding and downloading Android apps as APK files. It works without a Google account, which makes it an option for devices without Google Play or for apps that are not offered in your region.
APKPure redistributes apps rather than receiving them directly from every developer. Anyone who installs apps through it is trusting APKPure's copies, so it is worth checking an app's signature when that matters to you.
