Not even sure it's in the top 10
- benrutter 1y agoWait really? What other ones are there!? Somebody's already pointed out Samsumg Galaxy store, but I don't think I know of others? Edit: searching online found this if anyone else is interested https://www.androidauthority.com/best-app-stores-936652/ https://www.androidauthority.com/best-app-stores-936652/
- magnio 1y agoThere are at least six Android app stores in China that have more than 100 million MAUs each: Huawei AppGallery, Tencent MyApp, Xiaomi Mi Store (or GetApps), Oppo, Vivo, and Honor stores.
- IceWreck 1y agoHuawei and Honor are seperate app stores? And Oppo and Vivo too? In both instances one company owns the other - why have competing app stores?
- npn 1y agoBecause some dumbass decided to ban Huawei before, forcing Chinese brands to split itself to multiple sub brandings that operate independently.
- TiredOfLife 1y agoHuawei was banned because some dumbass at Huawei decided that sanction skirting was worth it

- lagadu 1y agoAmazon has a big one too. I also know of a popular one called Aptoide.
- Dr4kn 1y agoAmazon closes their app store on 2025-08-20, so in 7 days.
- rs186 1y ago*for non Fire devices.
- yellowapple 1y agoI could've sworn they'd already closed it for non-Fire devices.
- msgodel 1y agoI think we only know about F-Droid because it's the only high quality one. Low quality software tends to be popular among the general public because they're very bad at evaluating software quality.
