Yeah, " you don't have to root to get free apps"
It's easier with rooting, plus certain apps like " background recorder" and such require you to have a rooted app. Idk maybe just certain apps you want but need to root.
Also, if you use the website below you can get free apps. (If you didn't know) most are for android.

(P.S. Keep in mind if you try to get apps like "Minecraft P.E" you can't update in the AppStore/Play Store unless you have actually bought the actual app in the store wich is pretty much useless in using the AppStore. Lol.)
