ACMarket App – Best PlayStore Alternative

Avatar for John Hannah John Hannah
Last updated on: March 27, 2019

Android users now have an alternative app store to call on. ACMarket offers a whole host of Android apps and games for free including many with additional features and modifications. Read on to find out how to download it.

How to Download ACMarket

You will need to do a manual install of the .apk file, so it is crucial that you follow these steps exactly as written:

  1. Click the link to download ACMarket button
  2. Open your Android settings app and tap Security
  3. Enable Unknown Sources by ticking the box
  4. Now find the .apk file, probably in Downloads, and double-tap it
  5. Once the installation is complete, you will see ACMarket on your home screen.

If you don’t see the icon, repeat the steps again

How to Use ACMarket

ACMarket is very easy to use:

  1. Open the installer by tapping the icon
  2. Tap on Apps and then select your category
  3. Find the app or game you want and tap it
  4. Follow any in-app instructions to install the app

ACMarket Features

ACMarket is full of useful features; check out each category to see what’s there:

  • Android Apps – hundreds of Android games and apps from the app store, including premium apps for free
  • ACMarket Apps – apps and games not found anywhere else, exclusive to the installer
  • Tweaked Apps – stock Android apps with new features
  • Modified Games – top Android games with cool new features and in-app purchases unlocked for free

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have questions about the installer, read on for the answers to the most common ones.

What Platforms are Supported?

ACMarket is officially an Android app installer containing only Android apps and games. However, with a couple of simple guides, you can also use it on iOS and Mac/PC.

Do I need to Root My Device?

No, but you do get more out of the installer if you do. On a rooted device, any games already installed are modified by ACMarket to add new features. Not rooting your device is fine but some games and apps may be blocked by the Play Store when you use them over the web.

Is my Warranty Safe?

Yes, it is because the installer works like any other app and doesn’t hack the security in place. You may find that the modified apps and games do, but these can quickly be deleted if needed.

ACMarket Error Fixes

ACMarket is reliable, but there may come a time when the app stops working; fixing it is simple:

Method 1: Resetting App Preferences

This works for most people:

  1. Open Android Settings > Apps (or App Manager)
  2. Tap All Apps > Reset App Preferences
  3. Tap Reset Now and close Settings – the app should work now

Method 2: Clear Cache and Data for Package Installer

  1. Open Android Settings > Apps (or App Manager)
  2. Tap System Apps > Package Installer
  3. Tap Clear Data and Clear Cache in turn
  4. Close Settings and try again – it should work

If you are on Android Marshmallow, the options are in Storage

Method 3: Enable Unknown Sources

This option is required to install unofficial content on your Android device:

  1. Open Settings > Security
  2. Check the box beside Unknown Options to enable it.
  3. Close Settings – ACMarket should work.

If it doesn’t, delete it, make sure Unknown Options is still enabled and install it again

Alternative Apps

If ACMarket isn’t for you, have a look at Panda Helper. One of the best alternatives, it contains a tone of apps and games, is free to use and you don’t need to root your device or it to work either.

ACMarket is well worth a try for all Android users as it offers so much more than the official Android App Store. With so many modified apps and games and plenty of app store content for free, it is a whole new world of apps and will change how you download in the future.

Give it a try. If you don’t like it, delete it and try the alternative solution offered above.
