Secondly, unlike other third-party app stores, Uptodown doesn’t publish the cracked version of paid apps for android as they usually contains viruses, malware, or other malicious content. However, Uptodown allows the developers to send them a DMCA request for the removal of their app or they can claim authorship to manage updates, get download statistics, as well as access to their support services. On Uptodown, the majority of apps, especially the popular ones, are published by their official creators but occasionally they publish some apps without the permission of the developer.īefore publishing the app, Uptodown’s team tries to contact the developers of that app and if they fail to respond then they publish as they may receive tons of requests by users to add that app.Īpart from reaching out to developers, they also use some automated systems to discover and select new apps. To publish apps on Uptodown, the developer has to sign up and send them the software and any information required for verification and their content team will manually review the provided information and app before publishing it.
