AppBrain: Android Apps - No Spam, Just Great Apps

AppBrain: A Curated Android Application Experience

The Android ecosystem, powered by Google’s open-source platform, is experiencing significant growth, boasting over 40,000 applications and continually expanding. However, a notable difference exists when compared to Apple’s app store.

The Android marketplace currently lacks stringent regulation, leading to concerns about quality control. Estimates suggest that as much as 25% of available Android applications may consist of spam or low-value content.

Addressing the Spam Issue

AppBrain was developed to provide a refined Android application repository, actively filtering out unwanted or malicious software. Its core principle is quality assurance through review.

Rather than hosting applications directly, AppBrain functions as an alternative front-end for the existing Google marketplace. This allows users to access and manage apps from a desktop computer.

The process begins with creating an AppBrain account. Following this, users install the AppBrain Market Sync application on their Android device.

This synchronization enables browsing and selection of Android applications directly from a desktop interface. Selecting an app initiates installation via the standard Google Marketplace application on the phone.

The system will prompt for payment when required, utilizing the established Google payment process.

Availability and Key Features

Currently, the AppBrain service is offered free of charge. Initial support is limited to applications available within the United States, with plans for international expansion underway.

  • Provides a curated Android app store, free from spam.
  • Facilitates convenient installation of Android software directly from a desktop.
  • Offers a platform for discovering new apps.
  • Leverages the official Android Marketplace for software installation.
