With the new rules imposed by theDigital Market Act (DMA)In Europe, Apple was forcedto authorize alternative third -party application stores on its devices. Many are already available asAlstore, the first to arrive at homeorSetapp Mobile. From now on, it is Aptoide who is ready for launch on iOS:The blind will be officially available on June 6.

A promising catalog and an innovative economic model

For its launch, Aptoide offers an initial selection of six games, but more than a hundred developers are ready andwait for Apple's green light to take out their titles. The catalog should therefore grow fairly quickly. The six launch titles include:Word Jungle(Puzzle Puzzle Game),Condor-Leap of Faith(platform game),All-in-one Solitaire(with its 85 variations in the game ofSolitaire),All-in-one Mahjong(232 paintings ofMahjong, all the same!) AndCharades-Guess the Word(Another game of word puzzle too).

The economic model of Aptoide is distinguished from that of the App Store bythe application of variable commissionsdevelopers concerning in-app purchases. A 20 % commission is levied from integrated purchases if the user has found the game via blind or research recommendations. On the other hand, if the developer attracts players to his game with paid pubs or via his own community channels, the Aptoide commission increases to 10 %.

The developers also have the rather interesting possibility of redirecting players to their own website so that they can carry out their transactions,Aptoide then receiving a commission of 10 % on these purchases.

Aptoide leaves with undeniable assets in pocket: her blind has already been downloaded more than7 billion times on Android, including a billion just last year. A great popularity that may allow him to climb to a good level also on iOS. But it is not necessarily a guarantee of success and Aptoide will have to juggle with the regulations specific to Apple while being able to offer unique gamesTo attract users. To be successful, the platform will also have to attract developers and above all, make them stay in the long term by guaranteeing advantageous economic conditions.

• Aptoide, a very popular alternative store on Android, will be available on iOS from June 6.
• The starting catalog will have only six games, but should grow very quickly.
• The economic model of Aptoide is also quite different from that of the App Store.
