People in the European Union are now allowed to access alternative app stores thanks to the Digital Markets Act (DMA), a regulation designed to foster increased competition in the app ecosystem.

To run an alternative app marketplace, developers must accept Apple ’s alternative business terms for DMA-compliant apps.

The iOS version of the Aptoide store launched as an invite-only beta in June .

Skich announced the launch of an alternative app store for EU users which differentiates itself by offering a Tinder-like interface for app discovery.

The store has not yet filled with apps, but hopes to add titles later in March .
