SlideME

SlideME is an alternative Android app store to Google Play that offers us thousands of applications on a simple interface where we can explore the contents.

Alternative app store for Android

As you already know, when it comes to Android applications, there is life beyond the Google Play Store. There are other app stores where we can find the same apps that are available on the official market, as well as others that are banned on the Google Store for various reasons.

The most popular is probably Aptoide, although there are other alternatives such as APKPure or SlideME, an alternative marketplace that some media outlets consider to be one of the best. It stands out for the quality of the apps it offers, with no junk apps, fakes or any other tool that you don't want to download on your smartphone.

Discover the apps in a simple and clear interface

The application offers us a simple system to browse through the available categories and find out which are the most trending or which are the most downloaded:

• Browse all applications sorted by category.
• Review Editor's Picks.
• Find out which apps are new in the shop and available for download.
• Access the trending lists with the apps that are in fashion.
• Discover the most downloaded free and paid applications.
• Do an advanced search.
• Manage your downloads.
• Create your user profile using an email address or your Facebook account.

Besides having to download this APK to your smartphone, to be able to use this app store you have to register as a user. You can do this by providing an email address or through your Facebook user profile. You'll find apps and games that are available on Google Play, but also others that have been removed from Google Play, such as the popular YouTube downloaders.

Now that you know what it is, there's no excuse not to download one of the safest app stores for Android, proving that there's life beyond Google and that you can use your smartphone or tablet without relying on Google Leaving Play Services and other applications, services and processes developed by that company.

Requirements and further information:

• Minimum operating system requirements: Android 2.2.
• Installing the app using the APK file requires enabling the "Unknown Sources" option in Settings > Applications.
