How to download incompatible or restricted Android apps from Google Play

Maybe it thinks your device is outdated, or you happen to be in the wrong country. Anyway, this isn't something you'd expect from Android, the land of the free, right? Nuh-uh! Of course there's a way to work around that if you happen to want a particular app so badly! At least three ways, in fact!

All of the options proposed below are legal and don't require mingling with your device, rooting it, or downloading pirated stuff. So if you are in the situation described above, give these solutions a shake!
