App Installer v2.25

App Installer will scan your internal storage or SD card(s) for apk files and show you a single unified list of all the apps you can install.
Then, it will only take one touch of the finger to either install the app, or delete the apk file.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: if your device is running Android 11 or newer, in order for the app to be able to scan your device for the APK files you have copied/downloaded from other sources, you will have to allow for the "All Files Access Permission" when prompted, otherwise the scan will fail and the app will be useless.

You'll get the following information for each apk:
- app name
- app icon
- app version
- apk file size
- app package
- list of permissions required by the app

You will also see the installation status for each app, as follows:
- green icon - the app is already installed, and the installed version is the same or newer than the apk version
- yellow icon - the app is already installed, but the installed version is older than the apk version
- red icon - the app is not installed at all
- warning icon - the app requires a minimum Android version higher than the one on your device

Note that after installing or uninstalling apps, a rescan is needed for the statuses to be refreshed.

You can also share your favorite apps with your friends via the share app button.

Known issues:
- app installations may fail if your Android device does not have Play Services installed and enabled.
