Recent Developments in the Global Mobile Application Store Market
The main drawback of selecting a standard option is the severe competition. Some of the best alternative Android application stores are listed below so that you can reach more localized and specialized customer populations.
1Mobile Market
A different approach to developing a successful app is to focus solely on the app's popularity. 1Mobile Market is only for free apps so it is a great place to upload an app to test it out on the market. The most significant advantage is that a useful recommendation system based on preferences allows apps to become popular quickly. It is an excellent site to upload your software, with over 100 million downloads and hundreds of thousands of Android apps listed.
Amazon Appstore
The Amazon Appstore, while not as old as Google Play or SlideME, is one of their most successful competitors. With the release of the Kindle Fire, the Fire Phone, and a variety of Android devices running Fire OS, there is a burgeoning demand for Amazon-sold software. There are certain challenges with running apps on the Fire OS, but most developers only require a few days to get their program ready for Amazon. In reality, many Android apps already work well on Fire OS.
SlideME
SlideME is the most frequently found app store on most Android devices after the primary competition as a long-term player in the app store business, having been running even longer than Google Play Store. The greatest benefit is that payments may be made through PayPal, and the app store only charges 20% for each purchase of your app.
Samsung Galaxy Apps
It is unsurprising that Samsung, the business that manufactures the most Android phones, has created its own app store. In comparison to other app stores, Samsung Galaxy Apps has a very modest number of apps, which can help most apps stand out. The app store is installed on every Samsung Galaxy device, thus there is an immediate and enormous client base.
Mobile9
This app store is more like a social network than a traditional app store. Mobile9 has millions of active users, each of whom can comment on and discuss the applications they have installed. Publishing an app is free, and with such a large user base, it can generate excellent benefits.
