android phone- getting Jw apps downloaded without google/amazon website use?

[vern]

Is there a way to get jw apps like the library; individual bibles; on android without logging into the google/amazon servers?

I would think you could sideload the installation file. However, it would never update unless you still connected to the Google Play Store, Windows Store, Apple Store, etc.

Yes I have done this.

 

You just google "apk downloader" and then paste in the google play URL for jw library. Then you download the "raw" apk file, and launch it. Android OS asks you if you'd like to install this file, along with a disclaimer like "are you sure you want to install this?!? it's not from the approved google store!"

 

For example, open this: https://apkpure.com/jw-library/org.jw.jwlibrary.mobile and then click Download APK (you do this directly on the device).

A friend told me about a, “Fire Stick”. I know not what it is, but, I did understand it was because of a problem getting to our site.
