Now you can save apps to SD card using third party apps such as File Expert, Titanium Backup, App Monster and utilities, but these only save apps that are currently installed. But what about the updates for the apps? Updating an app is only possible after installing it and running the Play Store to check for any updates.

| Downloading an app |
You can also use this utility to download apps that are not available in your country by changing the SIM Operator Number in the options field. Google Play can even be fooled to let you download apps that have carrier restrictions. To do this on your phone or tablet itself, you need to have it rooted and a market enabler app installed. But Real APK Leecher lets you do this without a hitch. the SIM Operator Number(SON) for various mobile carriers around the world is available on
http://en/wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code. The SON is a combination of the MCC and MNC numbers. For example, Vodafone IN Mumbai has MMC number 404 and MNC number 20, which makes SON 40420. enter this number in the SON field in the configuration Window.
