| [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/) | | Catalogue of FOSS apps for Android. Easy to install and keeps track of updates. Also has a browser version if you don't want to install the app. |
| [Aptoide](https://www.aptoide.com/) | | Marketplace for Android apps. Publishers/developers manage their own stores rather than a centralized market such as Google Play Store. |
| [Yalp Store](https://github.com/yeriomin/YalpStore) | | Yalp downloads Play Store apps as APK files. Helpful if you want to stay away from the Play Store, but require an app that is only available there. |
| [Yalp Store (fork)](https://github.com/kiliakin/YalpStore) [](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.github.kiliakin.yalpstore/) | | Yalp downloads Play Store apps as APK files. Helpful if you want to stay away from the Play Store, but require an app that is only available there. This version is a fork of the original project that is no longer active. Thank @onlyjob |
| [APKMirror](https://www.apkmirror.com/) | | An online library of user-uploaded APK files. Helpful if you need a specific older version of an app or don't want to download it through Google Play. |
| [Aurora Store](https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/AuroraStore) | | Aurora Store is ~~simply a fork of the Yalp Store~~ no longer a fork of Yalp, but is now its own project (see their [readme](https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/AuroraStore/blob/master/README.md)). **Update:** Removed note on using microG as Aurora Store [does not use it](https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/AuroraStore/-/blob/master/README.md#L77). Thanks @notpushkin |

| [Fossdroid](https://fossdroid.com/) | | Uses the same library as F-Droid, but with a modern UI similar to that of the Play Store and the ability to view apps by popularity. |
| [G-Droid](https://gitlab.com/gdroid/gdroidclient/) | | Also uses the F-Droid repo but with a different UI. |
| [APKGrabber](https://github.com/hemker/apkgrabber) | | Fork of [APKUpdater](https://github.com/rumboalla/apkupdater). Both are great tools for avoiding app stores (on Android). |
