I know one shouldn't be installing apps from shady sources, but what if I just want to try out and app before actually purchasing it from the play store.

Are there any good sources to download from ?

Mobilism. Comments work similar to torrent comments on giving me warnings if an apk is bad or its because the user doesnt know how to differentiate against false flags/actually dumb.

I used to use mobilism and would recommend it. Nowadays I just find foss alternatives

For real, FOSS alternatives are pretty damn good, I have learned so much since I got here.

Mobilism most of the time and also Telegram channels from modder groups.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Are these telegram groups invite only or could I perhaps join?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They're public groups, maybe there are better private groups but then you might as well go to Mobilism and make an App request. I prefer these channels to the modder's website because you don't get anti-adblock banners and it's faster to search.

Look for RBMods, MixRoot Mods, there is also a LiteApk channel. Those are what I have at the moment. I'm sure there are many others you can find through those channels alone.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Then your apps are just insecure.

Your apps have simple IAP checks then.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

They have pirated apps? That's news to me.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

apkmirror most of the time.

Worth looking into mobilism forum. They have modded apks to unlock premium stuff, not sure if what they have is ratted, just make sure you're on the real forum. (I believe it's the .org domain? correct me if I'm wrong)

So mobilism dot me is fake? Fuck.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Had a slight panic then as well but the official site lists mobilism dot me as a legit alternative domain. Phew!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Thank God that's how it is lol

4pda board, but you have to be logged in to be able to download files

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

+1 I was able to find apps that were not available on Mobilism

I recently stumbled upon platinmods dot com, don't know whether it is safe though so a comment from someone who knows about this site more will be appreciated

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

It's safe. I would stick to the approved/verified and tested mods sections of the site.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Related apps that I know of are at Tutaj

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The premium apps versions can be used or downloaded. mobile utilities that I know.
