APK Installer by Uptodown is a free tool that allows you to install Android apps that use formats not detected by the device's package installer, which is usually included by default in the operating system. As a result, you will be able to complete the installation of any game or app in XAPK, APKM, or APKS format, without encountering any problems. You can even install apps in ZIP format.
Creates backups too
Among APK Installer by Uptodown's many advantages is the possibility of creating your own backup copies of any app or video game installed on your device. It's very simple to do. Just head to the Manage tab, tap on the app you want to back up, and select the desired options.
Compatible with a host of formats
Early versions of Android could only install apps that were in APK format. But that has changed. And that is why APK Installer by Uptodown is compatible with a number of other file types. From the app, you can find and install any app or video game in the following formats: APK, OBB, XAPK, APKS, APKM, and ZIP. Simply press the Install Apps button and wait a few seconds for the app to scan your device's memory for all compatible files.
What are OBB files?
OBB (Opaque Binary Blob) files are a way to exceed the maximum size for APK uploads on Google's platform. But of course, when manually installing an app, these additional files must be installed separately in specific folders on the device. The most convenient solution for this type of installation was to include the APK and OBB data within a single compressed file and have it installed via an external tool. And that is precisely what an XAPK file is.
My thoughts on APK Installer by Uptodown
Obviously, it is difficult to write an unbiased review, but APK Installer is an incredibly useful app. There are tons of very interesting apps that can only be downloaded from unofficial repositories that are found in formats other than APK. Thanks to this small app, which takes up under 4 MB, these can be installed without any problems.
The best and the worst of APK Installer by Uptodown
• What I like most about APK Installer is that I can install any app, regardless of its origin or format, in seconds.
• What I like least about APK Installer is that it lacks interface customization options. A little more color wouldn't go amiss.

better than Google
Very excellent
I’d like you to add Shizuku support, since there are several Chinese system layers that don’t allow using any third‑party installer, but through Shizuku permissions it can be done.
Excellent, God bless you. The best part is that it updates itself without the subscriber/user having to intervene. Constant updates, thank you.
Excellent
Super
