This app is not available in your country - what to do?

"This app is not available in your country": How to bypass the Play Store lock

App developers can only share their apps with certain countries. For example, an international fast food chain can only publish an application for its American restaurants.
Since you are using a German Google Play account, the app cannot be installed. Not even if you are in America right now. Instead, you need to download the application as an APK file.
In our app section Beste-apps.chip.de you will find APK files from many popular apps. You can download and install these directly on your smartphone.

If the app you are looking for cannot be found on beste-apps.chip.de, you can use your app to create your own APK file for free.

You can download the free Android app "APK Downloader" from the Play Store and search for the app you want.
The application is immediately downloaded via the download button.
In our test, it was always the latest version, even if it was only published a few days earlier.

If the latest version is not available in the APK downloader, you can also create the APK file yourself.

Open the desired Google Play page of the app on your smartphone in the mobile Firefox browser (or a browser other than Chrome) and copy the URL.
In Chrome you now have to go to evozi.com and insert the URL.
Tap "Generate a Download Link" to generate an APK file.
You can then download and install the file.

Alternatively, you can download the APK file via an extension in Chrome or Firefox with one click.

Install the free APK Downloader extension in Chrome. A Firefox version is also available.
If you open the Google Play page of the app in Chrome or Firefox, you will find a "Download APK" button next to the "Add to wish list" button.
You can use it to download the APK file and then transfer and install it on your smartphone.
