Best alternatives to Google Play for Android

Google Play has its limitations: apps that vanish overnight, content locked by region, and a dependency on a Google account. Luckily, there are alternatives with independent catalogs: you can install apps without an account, access titles removed or unavailable in your country, and roll back to any previous APK version. Uptodown is one of the most complete, though there are also stores focused on open-source software or regional game markets.
