Nokia Lumia 930

Hello. My name is Ramin and I have a question.
I have Nokia phone with Windows 8.1 and recently accidentally uninstalled some apps from the phone. I have tried to download them from Windows Store but unfortunately they are no longer available for my type of phone. Could you please let me know how can I retrieve these apps and from where?

My take on the Windows Phones.

It was a nice idea but it is time to move forward to Apple or Android. Microsoft has faltered on this model and for me the biggest issue was the on again off again developer support. And yes, I've been hit with "we support developers" but in reality Microsoft tried to make it "better than Apple." It was a mess for small time developers. They only put out the effort for "Angry Birds" scale productions.
