The Google Play Store is the biggest mobile app store globally, but, despite offering nearly 3 million apps and games, it doesn’t give all users what they want.
Google has some pretty strict policies in place for submitting apps to the store, and lots of apps don’t get past them. Luckily, we can still access those apps by using alternative app stores. One of the very best for Android users is called ACMarket.
While users once needed to root their devices to use third-party apps, they no longer need to as ACMarket works with or without rooting. Offering thousands of modified apps, games, and much more, ACMarket is also completely free to use.
How to Download ACMarket?
ACMarket is easy to download. However, because you won’t get it from the official store, you need to install the APK file straight to your Android device. Make sure you follow these steps exactly as written and be aware that it may take a couple of attempts to install it on your device:
- Open your device browser, go to the ACMarket website, and download the .apk file.
- Before you do anything else, open Android Settings.
- Tap on Security (or Privacy, depending on your firmware version) and enable the Unknown Sources option – if you do not do this, you cannot run ACMarket on your device
- Now go to your downloads sections and double-tap on the file you downloaded
