Bumping this since I'm curious: is there a way for someone to download Douyin without having to have a Mainland China or HK App Store account? While I can get my aunt who lives in HK to get me an App Store gift card I don't want the hassle of having to set up yet another App Store account. (I have accounts for US/PH/ES/PL/JP.)

Also, I use Baidu Maps when I'm in China but should I also download Amap as well? Or is Apple Maps (which uses Amap's data) sufficient for this purpose?
