Google might have a mind-boggling over 1 million applications in its Play Store, but you just won’t find certain apps there. Google has some tight regulations for Android apps and it simply removes applications if they breach its terms. For instance, you won’t find applications that can download videos or music from YouTube. You also won’t find ad blockers for Android. Those are just two types of apps forbidden on Google Play.
This article, however, does not aim to reason whether this is right or wrong. We're just stating the facts, and trying to show what's on the other side of the Google Play Store fence. But even looking over to Windows Phone for instance you’d see much more lax rules to apps, some of which are trespassing even on Google territory. As a matter of fact, MetroTube, the most popular Windows Phone YouTube client, supports the banned on Android download function.
Does this put Android at a disadvantage? Not really. There is one key advantage about Google’s operating system - it is free and open, and Google Play is not the only source of apps. You've all heard about the Amazon Appstore for Android, but it is not the only one - more popular Play alternatives include GetJar and Slide Me. And those are just the tip of the iceberg.
If you know what you're looking for, you can find some great Android apps not available on Google Play. We've summarized the most notable secret and forbidden Android apps not allowed on the Google Play Store right below. Take a look.

MIUI Music
Price: Free
Category: Music player / streamer
Download APK on MIUI.com
MIUI Music is the stock music app in Xiaomi phones, and while the devices themselves are not all that popular outside of Asia, the app itself is a strange creation that allows you to download music on your phone for free. Using MIUI Music feels a bit like using Spotify Premium, without having to pay anything at all.
