A quick review of APKPure

• Reviews say it is safe, apart from a malware infestation in 2021 
• It is not known how it gets a copy of the Google Play Store APKs
• APKPure is funded by adverts and an ad-free subscription 
• Many of the adverts are scams. For example, advising that your device is infected and a software installation is needed to cure it. Another example is prominent 'download' buttons that are not the APKPure download that you are looking for.
• On writing this blog, it seems that Aurora Store is an open source ad-free option for installing Google Play APKs on LineageOS
