Sideloading Android apps is great — until you have to update them. Here’s my fix

The Google Play Store is home to millions of Android apps across numerous categories, enough to cater to the needs of an average Android user. However, you’d be surprised to know that some of the best Android apps are missing from the Play Store.

You can find many of these apps on alternative app stores or code repositories like GitHub. Some of the apps are also available on the developer’s own websites. While downloading and installing such apps on your Android phone isn’t hard, keeping them updated is a chore. If you’re like me and have many non-Play Store apps installed on your Android phone, you’d know what I’m talking about.
