The Adobe Flash Player app can no longer be downloaded from the Google Play Store. It does not sound good at all that the largest and most popular operating system for mobile phones does not have the official version of Adobe Flash Player.

Adobe Flash Player for Android makes it possible to access rich web content on your phone the same way as you do on your desktop computer.
Though the Flash Player is not available at the Google Play Store, it does not mean that you are forced to be deprived of a richer web browsing experience. You can still download and install the Adobe Flash Player for your Android phone. Please note that the official version of the app is available for phones with Ice Cream Sandwich only but you can install it on devices running Jelly Bean and KitKat too.
