Android Market (Now, Google Play) has plenty of Applications both Paid and Free which add Fun and Simplicity to your Android experience. However, downloading Applications on Phone can be a real trouble, specially if you have a slow data connection.
There is no way provided by Google to download applications on the Computer. But, a simple trick can do the Job. You’ll be able to download Apps from Google Play directly to your computer and then transfer to your phone.
- For this you need to have google chrome browser.If you do not have google chrome installed, then first install it from here.
- Open chrome browser and download APK Downloader Extension.The extension will be downloaded ,but it will be failed to install giving error that extensions only from google web store can be installed.
- Go to downloads and click on open downloads folder.This will open the download folder which will also contain your currently downloaded Apk Downloader Extension.
