Frequently Asked Questions


Snap is great! Can I donate money to you?

I really don’t expect any compensation for creating Snap, I just was annoyed with manually transferring APKs and using those other app stores and thought I could make a native Cascades app that downloads them directly from Google Play. After request from several of you, I’ve added a tiny donate button to the bottom of this post.

This is really cool. Thanks!

EDIT: It works perfectly, however, I assume it's using the American app store? (I could be wrong)

A few apps I am searching for are not being found, and I assume it's because those are specifically Canadian apps.

It's OK, I can get those apks on my own, it would have just been nice.

this is great. Best thing I have seen so far

Amazing!!!

Exciting times!

I just posted about this idea not too long ago aha, nice!

Hi. I now have Snap sideloaded. Your app runs well, searches fine and downloads most GP apps I tested, with ease. However, when I select 'Download' of the Canadian Tire (free app) it starts the browser and I just get the message...

{"error":Package not found/not free"}

I have been using Pauls Blog APK Downloader, all day today, to extract APKs from GP, so I know it should work on my Z10.

Cheers and thanks for the App. I have a feeling this will take off.

I like the Icon too.

This is cool.

Yes, a Canadian version would be sweet. Thanks for this so far. A little tweeting and it'll be perfect.

Looks great! Loving this idea. Flip shush is sweet too

Non-mega link added to original post!

For some reason, it loads, it searches, I select the app...but when I hit download nothing happens.



Any thoughts?

Yikes! It's supposed to launch the browser with the apk link! I'll take a look and see if I'm able to reproduce the problem!

What app did this happen with? (or is it any app?)

Works great! Thanks!

Same here. Z10 on Verizon.

Can you add the option to input carrier info (like apk leecher), certain apps are not available without proper carrier info, vlc and reebee for example

My z10 is on Rogers 10.2.1.1055
It would not work for any app selection

Posted via CB10

You are awesome OP! Just what we needed :D

THANKS! better than 1mobile :D

Q10SQN100-3/10.2.1.1055

Same thing here. Search works well but won't start downloading anything :s

Thanks for making a native app, and so quickly too! I'll try to sideload this later, though I've run out of apps I want to download!
