If you've been seeking an alternative to the iOS App Store, your options have been limited due to Apple's protective stance over its ecosystem. However, recent legal developments have begun to change this landscape. Following the Epic Games Store's entry into iOS, another contender, Aptoide, has now launched for free on iOS for EU users.
As some may recall, we previously discussed Aptoide during its initial beta phase in mid-2024. Now, all EU iOS users can freely download and explore Aptoide. While it boldly claims to be the first alternative app store on iOS, it's worth noting that the Epic Games Store actually preceded it in full release by a few months.
What sets Aptoide apart is its broader range of offerings. Unlike the Epic Games Store, which focuses primarily on gaming, Aptoide provides a variety of general apps. Additionally, it features an innovative option allowing users to choose specific versions of apps, a feature previously exclusive to Android users.
Alternatively, yoursWhile my initial remarks may seem skeptical, I believe Aptoide has a legitimate claim to being a pioneering alternative app store, particularly considering its beta phase. The Epic Games Store, while a third-party option, is still managed by a major industry player.
For those following the Epic v Apple legal battle and the subsequent opening of iOS to more app stores, Aptoide's arrival is promising. We'll be keenly observing whether Aptoide can successfully attract users dissatisfied with the Apple App Store.
