Try strip_tags() + explode() + array_filter():

<?php
// header('Content-Type: text/plain');

$str = <<<HTM
<b>App name</b>
v1.1.5 by
<a href="#">Link</a>
<br>
some description of app -
<a href="#">options</a>
<br>
<small style="color:#666">By Android market</small>
HTM;

$buffer = array_filter(explode(PHP_EOL, strip_tags($str)));

var_dump($buffer);
?>

Output:

array(6) {
  [0]=>
  string(8) "App name"
  [1]=>
  string(9) "v1.1.5 by"
  [2]=>
  string(4) "Link"
  [4]=>
  string(25) "some description of app -"
  [5]=>
  string(7) "options"
  [7]=>
  string(17) "By Android market"
}
