How To: Download, Install Android Apps Not Available In Your Country

It's really a pain in the neck when you found some interesting Android apps in the Market but ended up frustrated because they are not available in your country. And yes its not cool, especially if the app you're about to download is FREE.

Android Market is not directly to blame; its the application developers actually who pose those download restrictions, making some apps in the Market not available in your country. But don't worry, there's a fix.

Market Enabler is the Android app you need. It's a fully working workaround that enables you to download Android apps not available in your country.

Market Enabler tricks the device location in order to access the Market from other countries, since the Android market is country and carrier specific.

Step 1 Download and install Market Enabler from Google Play HERE. Or you can get the APK file HERE.

Step 3 Minimize/close ‘Market Enabler’, and then launch Android Market app (now Google Play) then search for your app.

Step 4 Once you find the 'restricted' app, just hit ‘Download’ button and then the Android Market will open with the app magically there.
