Most Android devices default to the Google Play Store for downloading and installing apps, but it's far from the only place ...

Still, you can install an app on multiple devices within minutes by following these steps: Open your preferred web browser, go to the Google Play Store website, and navigate to the desired app page.

In general, you should install apps outside of your phone's app store only if you have a very good reason to.

Most of the time, the Google Play Store is all you need to find and download apps on Android. Unlike iOS, though, Android gives you the option to install apps from other places.

The Android Market holds a lot of useful Android apps for a variety of Android devices. Some of the apps on the Android Market, however, are incompatible with some handset models.
