Ever ran into one of these problems?

- You want to check out an app, but your device is not officially supported.
- After flashing a custom ROM, you no longer have Google Play available on your phone.
- You updated an app, but the new version causes nothing but trouble and you want to go back to the previous version.
- You are not satisfied with Google's privacy policy and would rather download apps without hooking your phone up to Google.
- You want to check out apps without them cluttering up your "My Apps" list and potentially influencing app suggestions.
- You don't have unlimited bandwidth at your disposal but want to install an app on multiple devices in your household.
