I can't look at the calendar on my phone because I don't have a Google account. I have to download .PDF calendars to my photo album each month instead. Also most webpages crash on my phone because I can't update chrome without a Google account. Hubski is one of the few webpages I can visit reliably, hence why I lurk here a lot. I tried to download Firefox, but that requires a Google account as well. I can usually see webpages for a few seconds though, so if I really need to read something I can screenshot it real quick before I get the "oh snap" alert. So it's not so bad I guess.

Look into F-Droid. It's an alternative app store that offers many non-Google-Play based versions of common apps.

This might be something that can help you? I.e. installing the apk directly and sidestepping Google Play which is what I assume is in your way...
