Email and calendar app.
If you want it, get it from the Play Store, not a random site posted by a new account.

Is there a way for me to get it off my phone? Does anyone have an APK which would be better for a tablet?

You can extract it from your phone using many apps, I use "APK Extractor".

The only apk site that I sort-of trust for downloads is APKmirror.com

Try that (at your own risk)

That site is the only one that is half-trusted over at Reddit.com/r/Android, and I've never had an issue with it (I've used it many times to get older versions if apps that have become paid or bloated). But you can never assume that is is %100 safe.

Try extracting it from your phone 1st, if that works you'll be done.

This app works just fine: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ext.ui

Apkmirror is run by Android Police, and they verify everything before posting.

What version OS are you on? From 5.0 and on there is a built in screen pinning option.
