Apptoide, the so-called first free App Store for iOS, is now available for free in the EU

Mar 01,25(4 months ago)

Aptoide, the independent app store, is now freely available on iOS for EU users. While claiming to be the first free alternative app store on iOS, the Epic Games Store technically launched first. However, Aptoide might be the first general, third-party storefront.

Apple's tight control over its iOS ecosystem has long limited app store alternatives. Following legal battles and the Epic Games Store's iOS launch, Aptoide enters the market.

Those familiar with our mid-2024 coverage will remember Aptoide's beta. Now, all EU iOS users can download it. While Aptoide boldly claims to be the first alternative, the Epic Games Store's earlier full release challenges this.

Aptoide's key differentiator is its broader app selection, extending beyond games. A unique feature lets users choose specific app versions, a capability previously exclusive to Android and now a distinguishing feature of their storefront.

Despite initial skepticism, Aptoide's claim as the first truly independent storefront holds merit, particularly considering its beta period. The Epic Games Store, while third-party, is still controlled by a major industry player.

The Epic v Apple legal battle and the subsequent opening of iOS to more app stores is positive news. The success of Aptoide in attracting Apple's dissatisfied users remains to be seen.
