I Wanted More Apps on My Smart TV—These Alternative App Stores Delivered
1 min read
Summary
Sticking solely to the Google Play Store when looking for apps for your smart TV results in limited options and missing out on numerous useful apps
Smart TVs require apps to enhance their functionality, so the more the better
Four alternative app stores to the Google Play Store for smart TVs include:
Aptoide - offering over 2,500 apps, both well-known and niche, free, and without the need for an account, with the added benefit of being able to choose the version of the app you want
Uptodown - providing a massive catalogue of apps, and allowing downloads straight from the store, as well as scans for viruses and malware, for extra peace of mind
F-Droid - providing a wide range of open-source apps that respect user privacy, with no large, data-intensive apps like Netflix or Spotify to be found
