  Description     : desktop client for Google Play store

Raccoon is an alternative Google Play client that allows you to download
Android apps as APK files to your desktop or laptop computer for safe keeping.

Raccoon was written to address numerous issues of the official Google Play
Android app, including but not limited to:

 *  Privacy concerns
 *  Inability to roll back troublesome updates
 *  Battery drainage and inefficient use of premium bandwidth
 *  Poor communication of requested app permissions and high risk of running up
    tremendous credit card bills due to children not being aware that they
    spend real money on IAPs.
 *  No way to backup APK files.
