The app you are after will get installed, but you may not get updates unless you know to go looking for them in the browser again. Long press the correct link in the search results, choose ‘Open link in external app’, then choose Aurora Store. In your browser, search for ‘playstore’ and ‘app name’ e.g. (One of them is not going to be welcomed by /e/ users :))

Now that v.4 is available, anonymous accounts will no longer work in v.3 so you can no longer get these apps directly through Aurora Store. V.4 no longer uses location spoofing for anonymous accounts so, unless you hit it lucky and get an anonymous account with the correct locale, those apps will no longer appear in the results. In v.3 Aurora Store used location spoofing for anonymous accounts - I believe based on the phone’s locale - so that locale-specific / geo-restricted Apps (like UK NHS Covid app) would appear for users in that locale. So, after a lengthy - and rather heated on my part - discussion in that channel, it appears that the situation is as follows: So I headed off to the Aurora App Store official support Telegram channel That worked OK, but I could not find a couple of UK-specific apps (playMoreGolf app, NHS Covid Tracking app) in the search results, although they did appear is search suggestions. I tried upgrading - via F-Droid - from v3.2.9 (the version in Apps) to the latest version 4.0.2. Like many others, I have had a problem today to log in to Aurora store as Anonymous.

In v4, Anonymous login’s do work, but they no longer do location-spoofing, so geo-restricted or country- or locale-specific apps will no longer appear in search results,.

Only logging in with a Google account will work

Anonymous logins no longer work in Aurora Store v3.
