The iOS app store is a huge store, with almost two million apps and games to choose from. The iPad and iPhone have grown significantly in popularity over the last few years, not least because of the serious improvements made to the hardware, and that\u2019s made it easier to use more and more apps. With the official store, you can download just about any app or game you want, but not all are free. You will find that some of the freebies are better than the paid apps, and some of the paid apps really haven\u2019t earned their price tag. Add to that the in-app purchases, and you can soon find yourself paying an awful lot of money.<\/p>\n

What about the developers, though? Surely with an app store like this at their disposal, they\u2019ve nothing to worry about. Wrong. If anything, the developers struggle far more than the end-user does. After all, all you have to do is find an app and download it. The developer has to pay Apple for the privilege of adding apps to the store, and then they have to go through the struggle of actually getting their apps approved. That can take more than one attempt.<\/p>\n

Then there are the geo-restrictions that affect the end-user in that they cant download and use all apps and games, and the developer in that their market is restricted.\u00a0 Add to that the sheer amount of competition they face, and you can see why they have such a hard time.<\/p>\n

As with everything, though, there is always an upside, and here it comes in the form of alternative app stores to help the developers and the end-user.\u00a0 Both now have a greater choice of app stores to upload and download apps from, and there are quite a few to choose from. Later we\u2019ll be looking at the ten best ones.<\/p>\n
