Check out the best alternatives.

1. Amazon Appstore – This is the most popular alternative of the Android Market. Amazon’s mobile application store is also included on Kindle Fire by default. But the only disadvantage is that the store’s services are available to only the mobile audience in the US. Another important factor that visitors at the Amazon Appstore have to remember is that every Android app selling here is available for free only for a period of 24 hours. The store lends at least one new paid mobile application for free each day; so the audience needs to visit regularly.

2. Pandaapp – This is one of the easiest to use alternative stores to the Android Market. The services of Pandaapp are available via their store’s ...
... website and also by downloading their own Android mobile application for free. The reason why most Android customers choose Pandaapp as Android Market’s alternative is that they do not have to pay a price for downloading any mobile application from this store. However, caution must be exercised while downloading gaming apps since most of them are pirated.

3. Opera Mobile App Store – All Android apps selling from this store may not be available for free but they frequently offer discounts on a wider variety of Android mobile application when compared with the other alternatives of the Android Market. This leads to huge savings for the target audience. Moreover, mobile analysts say that downloading from this store is relatively safer than getting the sale app solutions from other Android store alternatives.
