Ars Technica: Following Epic loss, Google has started hosting rival app stores in the Play Store. “A new day has dawned in the Play Store, and it’s one that Google tried very hard to avoid. The first third-party app store has arrived in Google Play as a result of the long-running antitrust lawsuit with Epic. Those in the US can now head into Google Play and download Aptoide, a game-focused […]

Aptoide Games, a gaming-focused third-party app store, is now directly available in the Google Play Store in the US

The move follows years of legal pressure from Epic Games and Google’s recent changes allowing qualifying third-party app stores onto the US Play Store.

Ich habe einige Wochen versucht, ohne den Google Play Store auszukommen, habe als Alternative erst Aptoide, dann Aurora ausprobiert. Dass die Updates ständig fehlschlagen und enorm zeitraubend sind, sich Apps auf Englisch umstellen, damit könnte ich noch leben. Dass aber Apps nicht mehr funktionieren, wenn sie nicht mehr aus dem Google Play Store kommen, ist ein Desaster. Ich frage mich gerade ernsthaft, wie praktikabel ein Umstieg auf das Jolla Phone werden kann. Mit zwei Geräten herumzulaufen, ist reichlich sinnlos.

@AwetTesfaiesus @dkl du kannst ja auch alternative launcher installieren. dann Sieht es halt wie Android aus.

Ich nutze seit über einem jahr @GrapheneOS auf einem refurbed Pixel 8a und habe nur wenige Apps über #Aptoide installiert. Der Rest alles via @fdroidorg. Mir fehlt nichts.

@EUCommission Do you know why the EU Login Mobile App is only available using an account at app stores from American companies? There are other app stores for Android available or you could even setup your own repository (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Android_app_stores). Releasing it at https://floss.social/@fdroidorg or using European #aptoide would be nice options. #eulogin #digitalsovereignty #europe #did #digitalindependence

@ps
Just tried #Aptoide store.
Zero confidence in it now.

See my #TotalCommander post for why.

F-Droid store may be the far better option.

#Aptoide

Just tried downloading #TotalCommander from aptoide.
The displayed version 9999.9999.999.999 gave a loop of advertising pop-ups.
From "apps" store.
Uploaded 3/31/2024

No longer confident wtf aptoide screens apps for.

I wouldn't use apps downloaded from aptoide on any device with my banking details on it.

(Other version are to be found behind the "Other versions" button.)

EDIT: Rechecked, date on that version has changed to 2025.
Confidence now zero.

Got a ~AUD$100 #Android #TVBox from China.
The Google #Launcher/start screen it arrived with was ghastly.
#PlayStore is pretty much un-usable.
Effectively no search for apps.
Would not let Firefox install.
Didn't like scrolling down. 💩

Installed #Aptoide (EDIT: ❌️❌️❌️❌️) from their website.
Installed #Projectivity launcher from Aptoide. And Firefox. (And Kodi but that looks like a lot of work to get set up. What is a PVR anyway?)

And #NewPipe from GitHub. And VLC. And #SBSOnDemand.

Usable now.

I'm not a mobile user; I'm trying to install a.k.a. Vanilla #Android on QEMU. Has anyone tried the #Aptoide store? How good is it as an alternative to the Google Play Market, can I trust their app verification?

Haha yeah, it seems #Aptoide now only offers rewards if you use their payment SDK lol

This does confirm the false advertisement a bit though since apparently the rules have changed?

It was fun while it lasted I guess :blobcatgiggle:

Little extra info:

In total I have 3 games live in the #Aptoide store for iOS that in total rewarded 3K euro

Aptoide says to pay 2K for apps with in-app purchases and 1K for apps without

They tried pushing me to add in-app purchases via their system but I won’t

So I got the minimum for my apps to be listed in their bare store but since their don’t earn anything on it I guess another one is not done

It’s just weird..

Hm..

Is this false advertisement?

#Aptoide

**I'll publish them to @altstore and #Aptoide but ill remove ALL my games from the App Store

It was free anyways and I do NOT wanna give Apple any free content for their store

Again, fuck you Apple, really

Aptoide : la (lamentable) boutique alternative d’apps iOS est maintenant ouverte à tous http://dlvr.it/TJ2yFh #Aptoide #AppStore

And that makes 3 free games published to the #Aptoide #iOS alternative app store yay

https://en.aptoide.com/ios/

And for those who do not want to use the Apple App Store, I also host an #AltStore repository: https://stux.me/ios-altstore-repository/

"https://alt.stux.me/repo.json"

And for those with #Aptoide access can also download at least 1 game there, soon the cat game will also be added (currently in review)

Si bien puedes encontrar APKs útiles y genuinas en #Aptoide, no esperes buena fe de Aptoide.

Si usas su web para descargar una APK, te devolverá la APK de la tienda aptoide con el nombre de la app que realmente buscabas. :chick_coffee_grump:

#Android

Few days ago I've submitted my iOS games to #Aptoide since they're looking for more content for their new #iOS app store

I just read that they even pay 1000 bucks per game submitted :amaze: if that's right and they accept my apps we'll have the server bills paid for a few months 🤤
