## What it is
Yalp Store is a lightweight open-source Android app that downloads APKs directly from the Google Play Store without requiring Google Services Framework or a Google account. It also provides package manager features like searching, updating, installing, and uninstalling apps.

## Use cases

- update installed apps without google play services
- use play store on devices without gapps
- install apps on old phones with limited memory
- download apks on custom roms without google apps
- manage and uninstall local android apps
- run an open source play store client on android tv

## When to choose
- your device lacks Google Services Framework or gapps is broken from flashing ROMs
- you want to download APKs without signing in with a Google account
- you have an old or low-memory phone where the Play Store app is too heavy
- you want background app updates with root access

## When to avoid
- you are happy with the official Google Play Store app
- you need to purchase or access paid apps you do not already own
