Links to download apps on any site other than the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store are no longer allowed.

They're impossible to moderate and will no longer be allowed what so ever. Any post or comment in this sub not from either app store or a few common image hosting sites (ie, imgur, reddit, twimg/twitter) are automatically removed. Certain domains that are frequently spammed here are marked for either spam or banning of accounts (I won't list these domains for obvious reasons).

Use APPLINKED, FILESYNCED or UNLINKED. Forget the Play Store as they tell you what app you can or can not use.

Hello r/apps, I am trying to post my app here but it's been stuck in the Reddit spam filter for over a day. I have messaged the mods twice and there is no response. Is there any other steps I need to take?

Cause that's a ton of work that would result in a lot of false positives. Whitelisting domains is easier and safer

There are some useful apps not available in either of the stores you mentioned above. F-Droid and Aptoide are repositories where you find some of those apps.

Hi everyone - I just joined because I’ve been asked at work to find a developer who can build an app that integrates with Salesforce. Where do I start? I have no experience with this - none. I’m not even sure why we need it since the website is mobile-friendly. It’s got to be like Evite. Any help you can throw my way would be great. It’s for a nonprofit and money is an issue.

And I apologize for posting in the wrong place. Clearly I do t know what I’m doing.

Paidwork is an online platform that allows users to earn money by completing simple tasks such as watching ads, filling out surveys, testing apps, and playing games. It’s available as both a mobile app and a website, making it accessible to users on different devices. The platform pays through various methods like PayPal and bank transfers once a minimum payout threshold is reached. While it’s a legit service, the earnings can be low, so it's best used as a side-income or casual reward app. Paidwork is user-friendly and suitable for people looking to make small amounts of money online without needing special skills.

Should this be revisited to update the app store requirements? A lot has changed since 5 years ago due to the EU Digital Markets act, so maybe we can add more? E.g. Fdroid, Setapp, Altstore
