How to locate and download apps for computer

You should only download APK files from trusted developers and companies. In order to run APK files on your computer, you need an emulator — more on them below. First, you need to find an APK for your app. If no luck, use a different website from Google results. Once you downloaded the APK file of the app on your computer, install it using an emulator see below or you may want to transfer it to your Android device to install it.

When transferred, simply locate and click the file, and the installation should begin shortly. In case you wish to install the app or game on a Windows-based desktop, then you may have to install an Android emulator that will create the Android environment on your PC or Mac.
