Chinese app store for Android
China is a gigantic market of Android users where Google cannot lay hands since, as an American company, it is vetoed. For this reason, those Chinese people who do not use VPN services to skip government censorship (the government does it for their own good, you know...) can turn to different app stores. One of these stores is Sogou Mobile Assistant.
Alternative app store: what Google doesn't let you download
It seems like they call the same person to design this app store as they called for Tencent, Qihoo, Oppo, or Baidu: it looks exactly the same as the others. The minute you open it, it also offers the possibility of downloading a pack of app, the best known in China, which we assume are promoted and duly monitored by Mao's friends (not Moe's, we wish), and organizes all its content into different categories of apps and videogames
What you will find here is basically an app store of applications in Chinese, for Chinese people, so if you love everything to do with the Asian culture, this is the app for you, you can't miss it. However, if I were you, I would do my best to miss it...
Requirements and additional information:
- Minimum operating system requirements: Android 4.0.3.
- The installation of the app by means of the APK file requires the activation of the "Unknown sources" option within Settings>Applications.
