Using Aurora Store to access Apps in other regions


!DeGoogle Yourself
Of course I prefer to use #Fdroid but for some apps I would love to be able to access a few apps that for silly reasons have been restricted to Google Account in other regions. (I Travel often)
Is it possible to use #aurorastore to access these apps? If so - how?

I looked more . I don't think you can - community.e.foundation/t/auror… - So Google App Store uses the region of the Google Account (which can only be one region and is determined by Google not me)

which regional apps are you trying to install?

I know this is silly but I'd like the Eroski App from Spain

That seems to be available on APKPure, which I've used in the past without any apparent issues. Keep in mind third-party APK websites like this can be used to distribute malware, although my searching hasn't found any incriminating evidence against APKPure. Proceed at your own risk according to your acceptable threat-level.

Also, this is just for my own curiosity, why do you want a Spanish grocery store's app if you're not in Spain? πŸ˜…

Cheers! I think Im going to load up on Spanish Apps. I like #eroski - They are a coop.

OK that's fair, co-ops are really cool! There used to be a grocery co-op that was popular where I live that was literally just called "Co-Op", unfortunately most of them have closed in the past 10-15 years and the ones that remain have extended their existence by partnering with corporations.

I have been using Aurora Store as my primary App Store for over a year now. Never had issues with using it with a VPN.
