Android is a system that is made around apps and the Google Play Store has the largest collection of apps for them. Almost everyone downloads apps from the Play Store. But there are many awesome apps that can’t be found out there. To get these apps on your Android phone, you have to go through a process called “sideloading”. We’ll explain the process later.
For starters, there are various rules and regulations that are needed to be followed to register an app on the Google Play Store. And many times, it’s not possible for developers to comply with these policies whilst making the best apps for the public. Such apps are either banned from the Play Store, or they never make it to the listings.
But worry not. To help you with all this, we’ve decided to do something about it and have come up with our own list of the best Android apps which aren’t available on the Google Play Store or are banned because of Google’s strict policies.
But before starting, please read the note carefully.
Note: Enable the Unknown sources from Settings >> Security to allow the installation of the apps listed here.
XTunes
This app is for those who like to download music and audio on the go. Unlike other apps available on the Google Play Store, the user has the freedom to store the songs on their storage.
Most of the songs can be found on this app from old to the latest ones. Also, most of the songs that you will download from this app will have prefilled correct metadata like artist, album, year, track, cover photo in it. So, you will not have to worry about those and will be able to organize your music efficiently.
Almost all songs are available in high quality. We have found that all of the latest songs are available in 320kbps quality. If you are a music enthusiast, you will know when you see it. Also, you can search for an entire album and the songs from that album will be enlisted. You will also get an option to download the search song from YøùTùbé if it’s not available in the app’s database. In fact, we consider it as the best song downloading app.

QuickLyric
As the name suggests, this app will show you the lyrics of the song which is playing or any song that you are going to search manually. You might also be wondering that what’s different between Quicklyric and the other apps available on the Google Play Store like MusiXmatch etc.
The difference is that, here in Quicklyric, you will be able to download lyrics offline for all the songs in a single click. As I recall, other apps don’t allow it for free. Also if you enable the option to refresh lyrics automatically, this app will search and download them whenever you add a new song to your device. You can also set it to show lyrics once the track changes. It seems awesome right!

AdAway
Whenever you download apps for free from Google Play Store, they are likely to have advertisement popping all over it. It’s nothing to worry about, but when they are placed in such a way that every time you click it accidentally, it becomes annoying.
This app is one of the best ad blockers for Android will let you remove all the ads from every app on your Android device. Hence saving you some time and also in case some bandwidth. However, for this, you will need root access on your Android device. Also, there is a nice feature that you can check for the updates so that if a new ad network comes in you can block, so it won’t be able to display ads.
Also, note that if you disable advertisements some apps like XTunes will be stuck and it will not function properly as it used to be. However, this is not the case with most of the apps. Almost all the apps we have tried so far worked fine.
