Best 19 Apps Which are Banned From Play Store

There are more than 1 million Android apps, on google play. Some of them are good, others, not so much. However, due to its strict policies, few apps don’t make it there. And as a result, most of us don’t even know these apps exist.

What type of Apps banned on Play Store?

Any app that:

  • Stream movies or Tv shows without proper license
  • Hacking or Network spoofing
  • Change license of paid apps to free
  • Make system level changes
  • Play YouTube video in the background

are a strict no-no on Google play.

Useful Android Apps not on Google Play


1. *WhatsApp Plus: Modified version of  WhatsApp with tons of customization options. It also has an option to hide online status and can send larger files.

  1. TubeMate: Download YouTube videos in various resolutions. You can also download them as an audio file.  However, there are better alternatives. Look below.
  2. *WiFi Kill [root]: Stop internet of any device connected to same WiFi network.

  3. VideoMix : Stream movies and TV shows from your Android. No login, no sign-up.

  4. Lucky Patcher [root] : Remove licenses from paid application. It can also remove Google Ads from the app.

6. Network Spoofer : It’s like an advanced version of WiFi Kill. You can redirect traffic of any internet user on the same network. Like redirecting them to a new web page or replacing words or images in a website. Not specifically useful but funny.

7. Netease : Chinese music streaming app like Spotify, but it’s free. No ads or subscription. You can download audio and see lyrics within the app.

8. OG YouTube : This app look very similar to YouTube official app. But has extra features like YouTube red. You can download any YouTube videos. But that’s not all, you can also play video in a background or when the screen is OFF or even in a pop-up resizable window.

But that’s not all, you can also play video in a background or when the screen is OFF or even in a pop-up resizable window.

9. Media river :Search and download music, books, apps, videos or wallpaper etc, from your Android.

  1. X-posed framework: Customize your Android and make system level changes without flashing ROM. Extremely powerful and continuous support from devs.

11 TinyTunes : stream or download music like you do in Netease, but comes this one come with English interface.

12 FrostWire :a torrent client which also lets you download videos, music, images etc. It’s similar to Media river, but with a huge database.

13 SCR pro : screen recorder for Android that records audio from both internal/external speaker and also support face cam. It has all the features a screen recorder should have. Earlier it was paid on Play Store, but now it’s free on XDA.

14 MovieHD/GameHD :stream movies and Tv shows on your Android or cast it on the chrome cast. You can also filter the content with a genre or arrange them with IMDB rating. A good alternative to Showbox and tv portal.

15 zANTI [root] : an advance WiFi penetration toolkit that lets you see what other people are browsing/downloading on your network. It also has SSL strip to change https sites to open as HTTP instead.

16 SnapTube : Better alternative of TubeMate. It doesn’t show you annoying banner or pop-up ads and works well.

17 PopcornTime : Instead of first downloading contents from the torrent, and then watching it. Popcorn time lets you do both things simultaneously i.e. it lets you stream movies and Tv shows from torrent.

18 Mobdro :It’s similar to Showbox or movieHD. But comes with more variety and less content. Now what I mean by that is, other than movies or TV shows, you can also stream sports, news, tech channels etc.

19 AdClear :This one is similar to Adaway – a popular adblocker, but with one big difference. Unlike Adaway, it also works on a non-rooted device. But, this comes with a price. The app is free and works well, but it collect tons of anonymous data.

So,that’s it folks.Thank you for reading ” Best 19 Apps Which are Banned From Play Store “.

Apple Making Fun Of Microsoft By Changing its Logo in its Support Centre

Apple has taken the liberty to make its own version of Windows logo and replaced the official Microsoft Windows logo with its own rendition on its website.

Apparently, Apple isn’t fond of the work of Windows designer team and it has decided to create its own version of Microsoft’s Windows logo.If you visit the Apple’s support pages, you might notice something weird about the Windows OS logo. Apple’s rendition of Windows logo looks like a window literally.

The logo is placed along with the official logos of IOS 8, iCloud, and OS X Yosemite.

microsoft logo apple

In the past, both companies have made fun of each other via their product commercials. However, this feels odd as other recent developments indicated that things are getting better between these rivals.

Last year Redmond released the Office apps to iPads and a couple of weeks ago Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella used an iPhone onstage to show Microsoft apps.

Earlier, Apple invited a Microsoft executive onstage to show off Office apps on the new iPad Pro.Well, this strange Windows logo could be still found on Apple’s website. Do take a look.

Apple’s First App for Android Asks You to Stop Using AndroidYesterday iOS 9 was released worldwide and people have been downloading the upgrade on their devices in large numbers. You can either download the new iOS version using simple OTA update, or use iTunes to upgrade your iOS devices. With iOS 9, Apple has brought some great features for the iOS users. Along the similar lines, Apple has also released its first app for Android- and Android fanboys aren’t amused by the idea.The Android app Move to iOS could be used by Android smartphone users to transfer their data from Android phones to new devices running iOS 9. This app aims to improve the Android to iPhone switching easier. Move to iOS app will move all your contacts, texts, pictures and videos, accounts, calendars, bookmarks and events from your old phone to the new one. However, the apps purchased in Google Play Store won’t be benefitted here. This app is compatible with Android 4.0 and above.

 

Everything sounds fine, but Android fans are slamming the app in Google Play Store by bombarding it with 1-star reviews and they are offended.

android-app-apple-move-to-ios-rating-reviews

One angry user writes and calls Apple the next BlackBerry:

“I’d rather be shot in the face Then switch to a closed, controlled environment. Apple will be the next BlackBerry in a few years. If you use this app, then you deserve to pay more and get less. Apple would never allow this on their communist environment. Google is too accommodating to isheep.”

Another Android user is offended as Apple didn’t even bother to make the app using Material Design:

“Why is there not an option to give -ve stars! They could have at least followed the Android design patterns. I hope this app gets kicked out of the Play Store soon. #HatedIt.”

Some users also wrote funny responses claiming that this app has life-changing capabilities:

“This app made me a better person. I installed this app in the hope of experiencing just a taste of the splendour that iPhone users so regularly talk about. The moment this app had installed, I realised I was better than everyone else and perpetually right.”

Right now, the Move to iOS app is rated 1.8 out of 5 at Play Store. Try it out.
