Windows 10: Is it possible to copy a Windows store app from another computer?

I recently performed a fresh installation of Windows 10 build 1909 on my Acer Sw1-011 tablet/laptop (necessitated because there wasn't enough drive space to upgrade from 1809). After the installation I was able to re-install all of the apps except for The Weather Network's app, which they are no longer providing for Windows computers.

I have the same app on all of my other Win10 computers and it works just fine on them. Is there any way I could copy the app from one of the other computers for use on the SW1?

I think I'll put a list of people's favourite apps in the OP, starting with my own until I get some suggestions, but you can take a look at the Windows Phone app store at the top apps to see what's popular http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store

Windows Store to Pack "Mature" Games and Apps

They announce this right after they said weren't going to carry any of it... Ya think some investors told them to stfu and take money? *Laugh :laugh:

I wonder how long it will be before you can't install noncertified apps? The app store is the 1st stepping stone. Although, you'd have to be an idiot to give 30% to these clowns.
