If you can find the .ipa, you can sideload them, no developer account or anything needed.

The downsides are that you can only have 3 sideloaded apps at a time, and you have to reinstall them every 7 days.

https://sideloadly.io/ automates the process and can automatically reinstall them for you - I use it to keep the Pebble app installed and my watch synced.

That honestly seems almost worse than just not letting you do it. Astonishing that people put up with Apple.
