If you're asking about Anroid support, I've no idea. Maybe you can sideload an app, i.e. get the APK file from somewhere and install it yourself. But on Android some apps, particularly paid-for ones, require access to the Playstore to check that they are licenced, and otherwise do not work. Others - Firefox for example - do not: you can install them on any Android-like device.
