The open source market: Bazaar and Aptoide V2.01

Hi guys!

Aptoide is a free / open source (GPL v2) application installer and Bazaar is a new site that easily allows to create app repositories.

In the year since its release, Aptoide and related forks (such as ApkTor
and Blapkmarket) have reached an audience of more than 250,000 Android
users and the number of new users is increasing at an impressive rate.
Since the early versions of Android, we as developers believed that
Aptoide's decentralised model of package installation could and should
co-exist with Google Market's centralised system. We seem to share a common vision with other developers and users as the number of modified versions of Aptoide indicates.


Having public and open, documented interfaces, available as GPL v2.0 ensures that anyone who wishes to participate can and is in fact welcome to do so.

The Aptoide app allows users to easily install applications from
distributed repositories, without having to rely on the Google Market.

We are proud and excited to share with you the following news:

The launch of Bazaar site (http://bazaar.aptoide.org):

- the first worldwide site that allows you to create your own market.
- under the motto "Own your market!" you can now have your own Aptoide
repository with your applications.
- upload and manage your applications and share them with the world or just
your friends.
- easily browse the available Android Apps and choose which to install from your Android device.

The launch of Aptoide V2.01 enables these extra features:

- Add repositories via QR-code.
- Support for private repositories with login credentials (through the
standard httpaccess file).
- Faster reloading of the list of applications from the repository
- Many other features and bug fixes.
- Your feedback is essential. Test it and let us know what you think.
- Together as a community we can merge the best features provided by the
decentralised Open Source spirit to the quality assurance provided by
centralised App stores.

Look forward to hearing from you!
