The user-friendly way to download apps

About us

Uptodown is a multi-platform app store focused on Android. Our goal is to offer free access to a large app catalog without restrictions in terms of the type of device or users' geographic location. We aim to promote a more open mobile app industry. Over 130 million users per month choose Uptodown to download apps from our catalog. We're available in 17 languages, offering a legal software distribution platform that is accessible from any web browser, as well as through our native Android app. Uptodown focuses its efforts on offering a different way of bringing apps toa wider audience, leading the way in the acquisition of organic traffic. Although we are a multi-platform marketplace, over 80% of our traffic comes from Android. Over the past few years, we've focused our efforts to hone in on the Android app ecosystem. A solid part of Uptodown is centered on adding value to its content. Uptodown isn't just a complete app repository, we also provide reliable information (app reviews, videos and all kinds of additional editorial content) created in-house by our team of editors. As a result, users know they can trust their recommendations and use the platform as a discovery tool.

  • What an exciting 2024 it’s been! This year, at Uptodown, we’ve worked passionately to become one of the 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐩𝐩 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬 on the market. The arrival of the European Digital Markets Act and the opening of the mobile software distribution ecosystem by major industry players have placed us in a strong position to tackle the challenges just around the corner. We’re thrilled about the path we’re carving out for the months ahead! But let’s focus on the present. This year, we launched 𝐔𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐓𝐮𝐫𝐛𝐨, our subscription service that delivers a high-quality experience free from the constraints of traditional web monetization models. We’ve also made significant improvements to 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐢𝐝 𝐚𝐩𝐩, transforming it into a powerful tool for downloading, installing, and managing your apps. It’s no surprise that we’ve surpassed 5 million daily active users, and the numbers just keep climbing! And that’s not all: our pre-registration notification system for upcoming releases, hundreds of new thematic categories to better connect our catalog, and countless upgrades to our app publishing service are just a few of the innovations we’ve rolled out this year. Thanks to these efforts, 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 100,000 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬—ranging from indie creators to renowned studios — trust us to officially distribute their products. This year has been extra special as we celebrated our 20th anniversary, and we owe it all to you—the people who trust and support us. Here’s to a bright and successful 2025 for all of us. Happy New Year! 🎉

  • These are the things that make us proud of our project and the developers who trust it. Astian, Inc is committed to 100% organic growth with its web browser and relies on our app store to officially distribute it. Consistency pays off. Congrats!

We are very grateful to share this space with other significant marketplaces like Aptoide and Huawei AppGallery! https://lnkd.in/eggh9WjP The alternative app store ecosystem is gaining more traction thanks to the legislative changes taking place worldwide, such as the European Digital Markets Act and many other similar initiatives, so this recognition is really meaningful for us.
