The first alternative iPhone app store is here. European regulations forced Apple to accept these new “App Stores” The altstore was the first to arrive. We explain how to install it, how much it costs, and how it works.
Altstore has been around for a long time, but you had to resort to some complicated methods to install it. That’s it for now, it’s now completely legal and official to install from the web, and the process is very simple. price? You have to pay 1,50 euros plus taxes, a total of 1,82 euros per year (yes, I’m not wrong, after one year) to be able to cover the cost of the server and the fees you have to pay Apple to install it on your iPhone. In the altstore we will find some applications, some paid and some free. How to pay? You can use Apple Pay with your iPhone or, if you prefer, register your credit card with its payment platform. I chose the first option.
After payment, you can install the App Store on your iPhone. To do this, you must grant permission to install such an application on your device, you only need to do this the first time you do this, after installation you will be able to access it to see the directory of applications it owns. It is very scarce at the moment, there are only two applications, but one of them is very interesting: Delta Retro Game Emulator, also completely free. The app catalog will gradually expand, and in the altstore they invite developers to send their apps to the store, where they will not be charged any kind of commission. What happens if I uninstall it? You don’t have to pay again because when you enter your email, it automatically detects your account and allows you to download again.
