>It does come with a catch... Using Aurora Store could be considered a violation of the Google Terms of Service and Google could terminate your account for it.

Aurora has the option of logging in using an anonymous profile instead of your 'true' account. Why not use that and avoid any risk?

What if you have a paid application?

You're right, Aurora doesn't allow that with an anonymous profile (not sure if it allows that even with a true profile).

However, an anonymous profile is enough to download banking apps which are a major blocker to switching to Free OSs.

According to other users, if you previously purchased an app through the Play Store, you can log in to Aurora Store with the Google account that you used to purchase the app, and then download it through Aurora Store. However, in-app purchases don't work.
