Description
The majority of Chinese users cannot access the Google Play store not only because it is blocked by the Great Chinese Firewall, but because many domestic phones just do not have the Google framework installed. Thus, using a VPN and installing the Google Playstore won't work.
I can install it without any hassles on my Pocophone EU edition, but when I use my Chinese Xiaomi phone I cannot find the app anywhere. I had to export the APK manually and transfer it to the Xiaomi phone.
Would it be possible to add it to the major App stores such as Xiaomi GetApps and Huawei's app store as well? There are several altermative app stores in China, I know it is a drag. But when thinking of the features, the Chinese people definitely are in need of software like yours. Besides that, it is a huge userbase.
