Other Best Google Play Store Alternatives

Some apps in the Play Store won't update or not even show up when searched if your device is rooted or you're using a custom rom. And if you're not willing to download apk outside Google Play you can use "Aurora Store", get it from f-droid.org. Apks come directly from Play Store, you can even download old versions by inputting an app's version code.

A few days ago I've added B4A-Bridge to HUAWEI AppGallery after requested by one of the developers. It was simple to do. For now there are only a few downloads from there but lets wait and see...

I tried a few and most of them seem to have their own kind of audience but in general it's a lot less installs than via Play.
here some experiences/stats (I don't know exact the best install count on Play but it must be between 45.000 & 50.000. It's hidden now?)

Amazon:
interface and addition of apps is easy with just a small panel with a few tabs and they improve it every few months.
target: global
best download: 541

Opera:
interface is simple but really old fashioned and is like a one page form.
target: global
best download: 854

AppBazaar:
clean and simple to use interface
target: India
best download: 231

Apptoide/Catappult:
This one has potential and it posts to multiple stores.
They have a mechanism that replaces google play billing with their own payments services in your apk.
Sales are in appcoin tho but I believe that you can payout in cash when you have $1000 (I will never make that but the apps might get some ad revenue)
Target: global
Best download: 95


Appland:
I removed my account there probably because it was useless, buggy or not giving me downloads.

SlideMe:
They are really selective and refuse a lot of apps when they think the app is similar to one that is already in their store.
I removed my account there aswell.



I signed up at Huwei but haven't uploaded anything yet. I will do when my apps are updated (I'm busy with it).


Edit:

I forgot to mention the annoyance of forced screenshot sizes which are ofcource different than those for GooglePlay/AppleStore.
so it's a lot of work to maintain all of this.

My installed version is 2.54 and Google Play "says" it is already updated, but the source code attached here seems to be v. 2.61. ?


P.S.

(v. 261)
