Sourcing and Managing Your Android Apps: An Alternative to Google's Play Store for older Android tablets and Phones
Are you an Android user with an older tablet or phone ?
Ever wondered why Play Store won't offer you an app you've already seen working on other other devices which are running the same or an older version of Android ?
There's a straightforward explanation - your device could be running a version of Android which Google now regard as obsolete and therefore don't 'support' any more. Unfortunately this withdrawal process is progressive - it has now reached Android 6.x, with many apps now no longer working with anything earlier than A7.0.
Download the document 'Managing your Android Apps' from the downloads page on this site to find out how you can avoid Play Store's restrictions and make life a little easier for yourself when using an older Android phone or tablet.....
