PlayStore Alternatives

Open Source

Aurora Store

Aurora Store is an unofficial, FOSS client to Google's Play Store with an elegant design. Not only does Aurora Store download, update, and search for apps like the Play Store, it also empowers the user with new features.
For those concerned with privacy, Aurora Store does not require Google's proprietary framework (spyware?) to operate; It works perfectly fine with or without GooglePlayService or MicroG.
Recommended if you have installed the Aurora Services module

FDroid

F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device.

Aurora Droid

An alternative to the default F-Droid app with an intuitive UI and multiple great features.
Recommended if you have installed the Aurora Services module

Foxy Droid

Unofficial F-Droid client that resembles the classic F-Droid client.

The client supports all basic F-Droid features, such as repository management and package installation. It doesn't support privileged extension, root installation, or local repositories.
