How to Download Android Apps On Chromebook

One of the best things to come to Chromebooks was the introduction of the Google Play Store to access the millions of Android apps on supported Chrome OS devices. Here’s how to install Android apps on your Chromebook.

What Devices Support the Play Store?

While most new Chromebooks come with Google Play Store out of the box, some devices still don’t have support for the Play Store. Check out the Chromium Projects page to see a full list of devices that support Android apps and ones that are planned.
