Google sued by rival app store Aptoide over alleged monopoly

Based ​in Lisbon, Aptoide brands itself "the alternative Android app store," with about 436,000 apps in its catalogue and more than 200 million annual ​users by 2024. It said it offers lower ⁠commissions to ‌developers and lower costs to users, yet suffers ​from irreparable ​harm because Google deprives rivals of exclusive content ⁠from top developers, and steers developers to Google ​Play and other "must have" services.
