The Android ecosystem prides itself on being fairly open. It certainly offers users more freedom than iOS users get, and it has one of the largest mobile app stores in the world. However, if you wanted third-party content, you would have to root your device, and that comes with quite a few risks. Understandably, not many people wanted to do it. Well, now there’s another way to download and install third-party Android apps and games, and its an unofficial app store called ACMarket.
All you need to do this is your Android device, internet connection (preferably Wi-Fi) and the APK file:
Once you download and Installed APK, using ACMarket is no harder than using the Android app store:
As well as being free to use, all the content in ACMarket is sorted into categories:
These are the answers to the most frequently asked questions about ACMarket
1. What Platforms have Support for ACMarket?
Officially, only the Android platform is supported, and it will not work on iOS devices. However, if you install an Android emulator on your Mac or Windows PC, you can install the ACMarket APK file and use it on your desktop too.
2. Does My Android Device Need to Be Rooted?
No, you can use ACMarket without having to root your device. However, there are some apps and games that work better if it is, and you do run the risk of Google Play blocking games or apps used over the internet if your device isn’t rooted.
3. Will it Affect My Warranty?
No, it won’t unless your device is rooted. If you don’t root your device, you can use ACMarket in safety as it requires no special permissions to download; however, if you use any tweaks that change how your device functions, you may run into trouble if you need to take your device in for repair. Just delete them; you can reinstall them easily enough later on.
ACMarket has proven itself to be stable and reliable, and most people have a trouble-free experience with it. However, we have had reports from some users that the app has stopped working. This could be for any number of reasons, and fixing it requires working through the solutions, one at a time until you find one that works for you.
Method 1: Reset the App Preferences
If ACMarket hasn’t started working, try the next method:
Method 2: Clear Cache and Data for the Package Installer
* in Storage on Android 6 Marshmallow
If ACMarket still isn’t working, try the next method:
Method 3: Enable Unknown Sources
This should have been down before you installed ACMarket and is the only way to get unofficial content working on your device. If you skipped the step earlier, that’s why ACMarket doesn’t work:
Hopefully, one of those will kickstart ACMarket into working properly. If in doubt, simply delete the installer and start again.
ACMarket is the best Android app store alternative, with thousands of modified apps and games and millions of active users around the world. Try it on your Android device today and see what you think of it. It’s free; you don’t have to root your device, and it is perfectly safe to use.
