Google Play Store
Google is well-known and the most trusted brand across the globe. They own the operating system that is going toe to toe with Apple and is used by millions of people. But to make the users bound to Android, they need to do a lot when compared to the iOS applications. Optimized applications with the quick response are what lacking and developers had overcome these issues. They have a bag with millions of the latest Android applications, which can be further categorised further into games, music, movies and so on. These applications can be downloaded on any Android device depending on the compatibility and further can transferred to any other device.
Google Play Store has a section named Editor’s Choice with the list of applications, which should be on your smartphone. Hand-picked apps which are most downloaded and praised by the users. These applications make the trend, as all Android users want to have the app and to be a part of a change. In this era, Facebook is the most trending application which I think is used by all of us regardless of the age. It sets the trend and everybody is following it.
But Google Play store is not the only App store from which the Android applications can be downloaded. There are third-party app stores which are authenticated by Google and can be downloaded from Play Store.
Why would I download any other App store??
Google Play store is an authentic and officially licensed store which comes in all Android smartphones. But there are some limitations that allows users to check options which are available in the market.
Freebies
These app stores provide free app of the day which is payable on Play store or provides a discount on the premium applications. This is considered to be the best option to get the most of it and without paying the money; the user can get it for free.
Happy to Help
Third-party app stores are working for the users and trying to maintain the trust. They have a unique way of recommending applications. They will check the applications you have searched for a day and next time you login, you will get a list of such recommended applications. This recommendation option is not available in Play store and they need to work on that.
Filters
Some app stores give you an option to filter your search. It is a great help when someone wants specifically searched applications which will depend on the purpose, quality and age group. It will minimize the stress level to go through the whole list of applications and will get selected applications.
Area Specific
Some developer works on these app stores which will be limited to the area. Few third-party app store will be available in some countries rather than the whole world. These app stores will have area specific applications which can be used by locals.
9 Apps
Launched in 2013 on Google Play Store, 9Apps is an alternative to Play store. 9Apps store is winning the race with differentiation and development of applications available on App store. Categorization played a vital role, as one can find the subdivision of applications depending on the genre. Games are categorized into different sections like Puzzle, Action, Sports, and Shooting etc. This will help in the search process as applications are also divided in Music, Productivity, internet tools, Music and much more.
They do have a recommendation process in which apps will be recommended to the user and the speed of downloading any applications is far better than Play store. Developers have worked on the optimization and delivering the best of it.
