Comments

[edit]

To meet the notice:

No indication that this product meets the accepted notability guidelines for inclusion. No significant third-party coverage or mentions.

The following improvements had been done:

  • Added reference to alternatives of Google Play where Aptoide is ranking as second
  • Added reference to Aptoide's CrunchBase page with information about the company

Moreover, the page contains information about a software with technical achievement as confirmed by:

  • Google_play is already featured in Wikipedia. From the different alternatives, Aptoide seems to be the most significant one: Google Trends;
  • Is an open source software, with large support of the community but also with information from different and not trustable sources (like Youtube videos and fork pages). Having a reference text is useful to Wikipedia readers have access to objective information;
  • A search in Google gives 2.6M results Google Aptoide Search;
  • Android platform is growing at fast pace and information about the platform is often a target of search;
  • "peacock terms and weasel words should be avoided" are not used in the article. For enhancing purposes, citation of the expressions would be very useful.

Further refinements are possible. Suggestions are welcome. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SteveMoLang (talk • contribs) 18:13, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not open source

[edit]

Aptoide might have been an opensource project in the past (probably the principal source of F-Droid). However, currently it does not seem to be opensource, as stated in its terms of service:

"9.2 You may not (and you may not permit anyone else to) copy, modify, create a derivative work of, reverse engineer, decompile or otherwise attempt to extract the source code of the Software or any part thereof, unless this is expressly permitted or required by law, or unless you have been specifically told that you may do so by Aptoide, in writing". {{cite web}}: Missing or empty |url= (help) https://www.aptoide.com/pages/tos 80.236.75.35 (talk) 08:57, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The app throwing randomly video advertisements at the user is one sign. Never before have I seen an open-source application with such advertising. Mahaer Mahmud (talk) 22:19, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Aptoide - Black Market for Android Applications

[edit]

The description for Aptoide reads like an advertisement. The site is a black market for Android applications which offers paid application as free downloads. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.13.140.40 (talk) 15:38, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Place of Business?

[edit]

In contrast to stores such as Google Play, Amazon or the like, no place of business/country/phone number is available for Aptoide. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.13.140.40 (talk) 15:50, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

They're from Portugal and they list their place of business here: http://www.aptoide.com/page/terms. Couldn't find a phone number though.79.69.203.137 (talk) 16:34, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Software Piracy Platform

[edit]

Aptoide is an active participant in piracy of apps. There are many examples of legitimate apps that have been hacked & then distributed via Aptoides stores. I personally have had several of my apps hacked numerous times & then distributed via Aptoide. Whenever I have asked Aptoide to remove them, they have either flat out refused, or claimed that they have no control over piracy but are trying to eliminate it - yet they still fail to remove apps that have been identified as pirated by their legitimate owners.Computersmith64 (talk) 23:18, 2 April 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Computersmith64 (talk • contribs) 23:14, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
