F-Droid

Top Pro

All apps have no ads nor tracking

This alone can be a great reason to use the apps available on F-Droid, but there is also the fact that this can increase battery life due to tracking and ads never requiring a data connection, since they are not present. See More

Top Con

No ratings/comments/number of downloads

All apps are presented equally. It is difficult to judge an app's quality/popularity before trying it. On the upside, descriptions are fair (written by the F-Droid maintainers, not by the app authors). See More

Top Pro

All titles are free and open source

All apps and games on F-Droid are free and open source (FOSS), making for a complete store resource for users who want to use only open source software on their device. See More

Top Con

Not all apps have screenshots

It can be difficult to tell what an app is like without installing it. See More

Top Pro

F-Droid compiles all packages

F-Droid compiles all the packages themselves ensuring a high level of security. Other stores just allow the developer to upload the app already compiled, meaning anything malicious could be in the app. See More

Top Con

It doesn't have all the open source apps

There are many open source apps that aren't available on F-Droid due to their authors not making it available on that particular app store. One example is Omni Noted, which is on the Play Store but not F-Droid. See More

Top Pro

Respectful of privacy

F-Droid is designed with privacy and user rights in mind. F-Droid doesn't track user activity or which devices are connected to the service. See More

Top Con

Poor quality games

A lot of the games that are available on the F-Droid store are not of much quality when compared to titles on other stores. See More

The Humble Store

Many games come with their PC, Mac and Linux counterparts

When purchasing an Android title from the Humble Store the PC, Mac and Linux title also come with the purchase, which explains the sometime higher price for said titles on other Android markets. See More

Some titles are overpriced

The Humble Store often has higher prices on Android games than other Android markets, though this can be explained by the fact that many titles give the PC game along with the Android title. See More

The Humble Store carries games that are not published on the Google Play Store. See More

Top Con

The Amazon Appstore gets exclusives from time to time such as The Wolf Among Us or République. Though some of the exclusives are also tied to their own hardware such as the HDX. See More

Top Con

Any app installed from the Amazon Appstore will not work if the Amazon Appstore itself is uninstalled. See More

Top Pro

Convenient

Using the Amazon Appstore is pretty convenient as a very large portion of the population already have an Amazon account from using their normal website for ordering goods. See More

Samsung GALAXY Apps

Google Play Store

Top Pro

Most variety

Google Play Store is an incredibly large app store and the largest on Android. See More

Top Con

Zero quality control

There is absolutely no quality control on the Play Store whatsoever. AAA publishers constantly get away with purchasing five star reviews from click farm businesses while at the same time game spammers get away with flagging legit games that they have stolen code from and published as a clone. See More

The Google Play Store is of course the default store on all Android devices that have Google Play Services. See More
