On many occasions we hear debates about the Android ecosystem, but it is this kind of news that allows us to believe that Android belongs to everyone.
One of the largest communities in the world, could not be other than Reddit, has launched its own application that serves as an application store.
The peculiarity is that this store collects hundreds of applications, mainly those developed by users who roam around Reddit.
Reddit users create an App Store or something similar, in order to collect their applications.
We all know that Google Play Store stores all applications, but if you really want the application to have enough exposure to the public, you must invest to promote it. To try to publicize their applications, the Android developers of Reddit created this app as a store.
The application has been dubbed as
/ r / Android App Store
and refers to the Android section of Reddit found at
https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/
. At the moment it is in beta, but we have tested it and we can confirm that it works correctly.
The application is a friendlier version than the current
wiki
where the applications of Reddit users are collected. The links of the applications redirect to Google Play, so there will be no security problems.
/ r / Android App Store allows you to search
, filter the results according to whether they are free or paid applications, filter by category, filter by type of device, etc. In the section of games we can filter them according to the genre (arcade, action, puzzle, etc). It is a simple but very functional application.
The appearance of this application means that some of these applications get exposure to the public they deserve and that Google Play would never reach. For the moment, you have to do a manual installation
of the / r / Android App Store APK
file, which can be downloaded from
Github
.
