Download, discover, share

Uptodown is an Android app store. Our main mission is to provide free, open access to apps for any device, from anywhere ensuring a more open mobile industry.

Over 100 million monthly users from all over the world use Uptodown to get instant access to a huge catalog of apps.

The Project

Uptodown has become an international reference within the field of legal software downloads. We’re available in 15 different languages offering a platform for transparent, legal software distribution.

Android Advocates

Over 80% of our traffic comes from Android which is why we’re committed to this platform to the point where we’re the second largest distribution platform just behind Google Play. Currently, we offer a full catalog with over 150.000 apps in APK format.

How to install apps in APK format

Legal, Open, Accessible

We think that standard platforms, like the web, are a valid form of discovering and downloading apps.

Our objective is to unify and complete the Android software distribution ecosystem by providing a versatile and open platform. To use our catalog, you won’t need to register or download any extraneous software.

Secure

All content on Uptodown is scanned in-depth by VirusTotal. This service analyzes all of Uptodown’s content with over 50 antiviruses.

All the information we extract about viruses or potential threats is published and available on our site for them as a resource. Our users decide what to do with that information and whether or not they ultimately download an app.

Due to the 100% legal nature of our content, we do not have to take on the role of policing censorship, and instead, our users are the ones to decide which apps they can download.

Content Neutrality

A solid part of Uptodown is centered on adding value to this content. Uptodown isn’t just a complete APK repository, we also provide reliable information (app reviews, videos and all kinds of additional editorial content) created in-house by our team of editors with the end goal of helping users make more informed decisions and without a trace of developer influence. In everything we do, we uphold the highest standards of neutrality.

Currently, we have 179,000 reviews published between the 15 languages Uptodown is available in.

Download the easy way with our official native app

Even though our website adapts seamlessly to any device or operating system, we’ve also made available our official Android app where you’ll be able to download and install our whole catalog, and get exclusive access to a number of useful tools like automatic updates or the option to install older, previous versions of an app.

Developers

Explaining our vision to app developers themselves. It’s important to us to show app developers that Uptodown not only provides greater visibility and improves app discovery. It also guarantees access to information without having to jump through the hoops that other companies require.

We make sure that Uptodown only publishes content that the developers themselves want on our site. Any app developer can take down their content and we strictly comply with the DMCA. But, by default, our catalog includes as much content as possible.

Send us your app

While focusing on users, we also actively collaborate with developers and their teams. Our platform allows any author to send us their software to be included on Uptodown, taking advantage of all the perks that come with it, like international visibility and greater flexibility when publishing.
