Aptoide becomes first rival app store available inside US Google Play Store

US Android users can now download Aptoide, a mobile-game-focused third-party app store, directly from Google Play — a direct result of the latest ruling in Google's legal battle with Epic Games. Aptoide is the first rival store to become available this way in the United States. Third-party stores have always existed on Android, but their placement inside the Play Store itself is new.
