Humble Bundle Android .apk files DRM free, right?

Closed

So I bought 2 Nexus 7 2013 32gb tablets and 2 Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0's and 2 LG G2 phones for my family. Yes, a little bragging there. These are our first Android devices of any kind. Anyway, I was about to buy several of the humble bundles for the android games when I realized that someone earlier this said I'd get a .apk file for the apps to download onto my phone. Does that mean I can use the SAME file and only need to buy 1 HB? I know that's cheap of me, but I'd feel like a tard after the fact if I had bought a bunch of HB's only to find out I only needed 1...

Tnx in advance.

You could install the humble app on each device and log in in each of them to download games.
So yes, you only need one Humble Bundle

Oh, so you need some app? Can't just put the file somewhere?

The app makes things simpler, for those who don't know how, or want to bother with, .apk files. You can download the apk files directly off the site, or use the app. That said, one purchase should work on all your devices using either method for installing them.

If you don't want to feel cheap about doing it, take the BTA price, and add 1 dollar per device that you'll use them on, still cheap, and less guilt :)

No you don't need the app, just open the apk file with your device.

I haven't tried it myself, but I would install the Humble Bundle app on each device and sign in with the same account. See if it works.

The beta Humble Bundle app is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.humblebundle.library

You only need 1 bundle. Use the HB app on all devices to download it.

after downloading the app, make sure to delete it from storage! it takes up un-needed space /sdcard/humblebundle(something like this)/downloads (delete it after you installed the game, because it doesn't do that, and takes up un-needed space.)

OR

Download the app, and copy it to your pc from /sdcard/humblebundle(something like this)/downloads (delete it after you installed the game, because it doesn't do that, and takes up un-needed space.)

Then copy it to other devices and install

Or, when you go to your library, click on the bundle you bought you will see, just above the games, some tabs with the platform to choose from. Choose Android. Now you can just download the binaries directly.
But remember you won't get updates this way! When you use the app, it will tell you when there is some update.
