App store may not have that ability.

No "app store" to have those isses.

That's not something you can do on the App Store, but on Google Play this is quite possible.

Is there an app store link anywhere?

Hi! Is the app available anywhere outside the play store or is it open source? I don't have google play services.

If only there were third-party app stores...

But it's not available from Google or Apple stores.

Love the idea - any plans to launch the application on the Play Store?

Happy to install the app, just give me a direct apk and don't force me to use Google's Play Store.
