Unfortunately it's not trivial to pull apps off your phone and send them to someone else and is also illegal (or at least a copyright violation). Even if the app was free, it's not cool.

Your best bet would be to find out who wrote the app then contact the author to see if they would send you a copy. If something isn't in Google Play anymore, there's probably a good reason.
