How to download country restricted apps in Google Play Store

Posted on September 2, 2013 @ 2:22 am

One of the most irritating things about the Google Play Store, is trying to install an application, only to be thrown back by things like country restrictions. Granted, some apps wouldn't work in some countries anyway, but there's quite a few out there that have nothing to do with your geological location, which would work perfectly fine if downloaded.

1. Connect DroidVPN to the country you want the app to be in on your device. For example, if you want BBC iPlayer, connect to UK server of DroidVPN.

2. Go to Settings in Android

3. Tap on Apps

4. Tap on Google Play Store

5. Tap Force Stop, Clear data, and Clear cache one by one.

6. Open Google Play Store again.

7. Select the US or UK account that you have created and added to your Android Device. (Add an account to use Google Play on your device)

8. Now you will see Apps from a different country.
