Feature Suggestion: Distribute Eternity App on Third-Party App Stores (lemm.ee)

Has Eternity considered expanding its app distribution beyond the Google Play Store and Apple App Store by publishing on third-party App Store platforms such as Aptoide, F-Droid, Uptodown, etc.?

Rationale:

Wider Reach: Aptoide, F-Droid, Uptodown, etc. have millions of active users globally and do not impose regional restrictions, allowing Eternity to reach users who may not have access to Play Store or App Store in their region.
Increased Accessibility: These stores support older Android versions and offer previous app versions, making Eternity accessible to users with legacy devices.
No Upfront Fees: Developers can publish apps on Aptoide, F-Droid, and Uptodown for free, with flexible monetization options and no payment required for distribution.
Enhanced Flexibility: Uptodown, F-droid, Aptoide, etc. allow users to download, update, or roll back app versions easily, which can improve user satisfaction and retention.
Security and Trust: These platforms prioritize app security, with Uptodown using tools like VirusTotal for malware scanning and Aptoide employing a blockchain-based approval system.

Summary:
Listing Eternity on Aptoide, Uptodown, F-Droid, etc. would make the app more accessible worldwide, especially to users outside the reach of mainstream app stores, and could help grow Eternity's user base without additional distribution costs.

Exactly.

I didn't realize that Eternity had already done that.

I've mostly been using Aptoide.
