The Internet is replete with app stores for the android platform. This is due to the incredible popularity of Android devices, both smartphones and tablets. Today we will analyze in detail the site, which is aimed directly at the Russian audience. So, meet - Yandex Store.
According to statistics, sales of Android devices are steadily growing in large strides. Therefore, more and more new trading platforms similar to the Play market appear. Amazon appstore, F-droid, Aptoid, Itch.io - all these stores were created specifically for android devices. You can see a small overview of them.Let's turn to a detailed overview of the brainchild of Yandex developers.
There are many applications in it, about 100,000. But, of course, it cannot be compared with the Play Market. There are good ones, but there are also “empty”, unnecessary programs. After downloading several "top" games, we thought: “How to play this? Where should I press that? " By the way, you won't be able to download the Yandrex Store platform from the Play Market itself. Downloading is possible only through a browser. To download, follow this link: https://m.store.yandex.ru/#download.
One may ask the question: "Why all these analogs, if there is an official Play Market, where everything is enough?"
You can answer by considering the positive aspects and advantages of the Yandex app store:
Photo: Yandex Store - Multiple payment methods
Not everyone can pay by card, and in fact, it is not always convenient. Yandex Store allows you to pay with a bank card or using a mobile account, Yandex.Money wallet and a bonus account (the same cash back). Coolest features. Payment from a mobile account, in our subjective opinion, is the most convenient way. Two clicks and you're done!

Registration in Yandex Store
To register and use the program, you need a Yandex account. We register mail, enter our data and use it calmly.
Photo: Registration on Yandex Store Yandex Store is not famous for its user-friendly interface. Too simple, at first you get the impression of a rather mediocre and secondary app store.
Then the impression changes for the better. There is nothing to give special praise for, but, I must admit, the application flies. Everything works quickly and properly, everything you need is downloaded. If necessary - via Wi-Fi, don't - so download from the mobile Internet.
An extremely annoying thing that immediately catches your eye is the different fonts. It is especially felt in the size of the characters. Therefore, the interface looks clumsy and inconvenient. Take a closer look, all fonts are of different sizes and thicknesses.

Finalize the design, make pleasant transitions and page swipes - there will be a candy in a beautiful wrapper! Add high-quality software, remove all ads at all - a candy called Yandreks Store will also become tasty!
Dear Readers! If you have any questions or comments on the topic of the article, please leave them below.
Yandex is famous for many services. But he has useful applications and programs that a small part of users know. Let's talk about our loved ones.
"Radio" for smartphones
Firstly, it is free, which is a rarity among music applications today. Secondly, it takes into account your mood or activity, for which it forms the appropriate playlists. Thirdly, "Radio" gradually studies your taste and selects the music that you like. Therefore, with its help, it is convenient to find performers unknown to you, who have every chance of becoming your favorite.
Free Word, Excel and PowerPoint Online
Recently, Yandex.Disk has an opportunity to create and edit documents (texts, tables, presentations) in the familiar interface of Microsoft Office programs. They are saved right there in the cloud and are available from any device that has Disk.
Application "Transport"
Well, okay, apparently, most of those who use ground public transport and a smartphone know about it. But there are also the ignorant. And this is a crime in this case. Yandex.Transport has become a real salvation for all passengers of the country languishing in obscurity at stops. The application shows in real time the movements of buses, trolleybuses, trams and minibuses!
Offline translator for smartphones
The Yandex translator app works offline with seven of the most popular languages. And abroad, as you know, bad and expensive Internet is more the rule than the exception. As bonuses: voice input and dubbing, photo translation and other useful features.
Free protection against dangerous sites and malicious bots
You don't need to buy antivirus software to build the main line of defense for your computers. By setting up Yandex.DNS, you protect devices (or the entire home network at once) from fraudulent sites and programs that use your computer for cyberattacks. And in the "Family" mode, erotic and porn sites will not open on your child's gadgets (the child, of course, will still bypass this restriction, but your conscience will be calm).
Weather accurate to home (and forecast taking into account the errors of meteorologists)
When determining the current climatic conditions, the Yandex weather application takes into account the type of surface, the height of the building, the presence of a reservoir, etc. in the place where you are right now. And when making a forecast, it takes into account the mistakes that meteorologists make. This results in forecasts of increased accuracy.
