APKUpdater: Update Android Apps without Play Store

Update android apps without Play Store. APKUpdater lets you download & install app updates without the help of Google Play Services & Play Store.

Updating an android app is as easy as ABC. But when it come to minimalists say, custom ROM users, don’t always install Google Play Services and Play Store on their android phones. So without Play Store, the users have to manually check whether an update has come to an app by checking the version number and changelogs. This definitely takes some serious time. But why do they prefer a ROM without Google Play and its related apps?
The benefits include reduced (almost none) battery drainage, increased storage space and lots more. Being said, the former scenario is hectic in such a way that the users might need to hit external APK teardown sites like APKmirror to fetch the updated APKs.
