The 5 Best Sites for Safe Android APK Downloads

1. APKMirror

APKMirror is one of the most popular sites for downloading APK files.

The site is owned and operated by the same team that’s responsible for the widely read Android news site Android Police, which should reassure you that you’re in safe hands.

From a security standpoint, APKMirror has some robust policies in place:

Staff verifies all APKs uploaded to the site prior to publishing.
The site matches cryptographic signatures for new versions of apps with previous versions (to ensure the true developers signed them).
Brand-new apps are matched against other apps from the same developer to verify their legitimacy.
The bottom line is that if APKMirror cannot verify an APK file’s validity, it won’t publish the file. Because of this, you won’t find any modded APKs, pirated apps, or paid apps on the site.

For each app, you can grab older versions, see various information pulled from Google Play, and access a list of related apps. If an app you install from APKMirror receives an update from Google Play after you have installed it on your device, it will upgrade to the latest version automatically.

2. APKPure

The biggest mainstream competitor to APKMirror is arguably APKPure. The two sites launched around the same time. Like APKMirror, the site abides by rigorous security practices to make sure all the APKs you download are safe and virus-free.

APKPure verifies the legitimacy of all apps before publishing by using SHA1 to ensure the certificate is safe. Cryptographic signatures for new versions of apps must match previously published versions, and entirely new apps are matched against other software from the same developer.

Once again, if APKPure has doubts about the security or origins of an app, the company won’t publish it on the site. There are no modded APKs on APKPure. In terms of site usability, APKPure pulls screenshots, app descriptions, and general metadata directly from Google.

There’s also a list of previous app releases in case you want to roll back to an older version (either due to features or bugs.)

APKPure also has an Android app available. You need to sideload the app to install it, but once it’s up and running, it can act as a replacement for Google Play.

3. APK Store

We really like APKMirror and APKPure. In truth, you shouldn’t ever really have a reason to go to a different site. But let’s err on the side of caution and quickly introduce you to a few other options.

First up is APK Store. The app’s former name was APK Downloader.

All the APKs are pulled from the Google Play Store so that you can be confident in their security and safety. As with the other sites on this list, there’s also plenty of metadata, meaning you can avoid Google Play entirely if you wish.

4. Aptoide



Aptoide is another giant of the APK downloading world; it has more than 200 million users and has been responsible for six billion downloads. Like APKPure, the site offers an Android app that lets you access the store and download APK files directly from your Android device.

The company was also one of the first to embrace blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. The site’s token—called AppCoins—lets developers increase their revenue share, among other uses.

Why is Aptoide not closer to the top of this list? In short, because it allows users to manage their own stores and thus lets modded APKs onto the platform. They are well signaled, but if you’re not paying attention, you might download one by accident.

5. Yalp Store

Yalp Store is unlike the other apps on this site—there’s no web version. Instead, you need to install the app from F-Droid, which itself is one of the best alternatives to Google Play.

Once the Yalp Store app is installed on your Android device, you can use it to download APKs directly from the Google Play Store. It means you don’t need to worry about any middlemen injecting malware into the APKs before you get hold of them.

If you have rooted your device, Yalp Store can even update apps in the background without any input from you. Best of all, you don’t need to have a Google account to download the APKs from Google Play. It will please many people who are wary of Google’s privacy practices.
