Aptoide

It works with repositories, in the same way as APT in Linux systems. It means that anyone can create its own repository and add it to the Aptoide catalog. They assure that all apps inside their repository are malware-free, as they apply different checking procedures. More info on this link.

In addition, Aptoide maintains its own main catalogue under the generic name “Apps Store”.
