Alternative app store for Android
As you already know, when it comes to Android applications there's life beyond the Google Play Store. There are other application stores where we can find the same apps that in the official market as well as others that due to different reasons are forbidden on Google's store.
The most popular one is probably Aptoide, although there are other alternatives of the likes of APKPure or this SlideME, an alternative marketplace which certain media outlets consider as one of the best. It stands out for the quality of the apps offered, without any junk applications, fakes or any other kind of tool that you wouldn't want to download to your smartphone.
Discover the apps on a simple and well-cared interface
The application offers us a simple system to browse through the categories available allowing us to find out which ones are the trendiest or which ones are downloaded the most:
- Browse through all the applications sorted by categories.
- Check the editor's pick.
- Find out which apps are new in the store and ready to be downloaded.
- Access the trending lists with those apps that are in fashion.
- Discover the most downloaded free and paid apps.
- Carry out advanced searches.
- Manage your downloads.
- Create your user profile by means of an email address or your Facebook account.
Download applications that are forbidden on Google Play as well as the most popular Android apps.
Apart from downloading this APK to your smartphone, to be able to use this app store, you'll need to sign up as a user. You can do so by providing an email address or through your Facebook user profile. You'll find apps and games available on Google Play but also others that have been removed from the latter such as the popular YouTube downloaders.
Now that you know what it is, there's no excuse to not download one of the safest app stores for Android, which proves that there's life beyond Google and that allows you to use your smartphone or tablet without relying on Google Play Services and other apps, services, and processes developed by this company.
