Today, February 25, 2013, Yandex launched its
Yandex.Store application store.
Its main difference is that you can pay for applications not only with a credit card, but also from the accounts of your mobile phones (For Beeline, MTS, Megafon operators), and also that all payments and applications are scanned by Kaspersky Anti-Virus, thereby removing 99 % viral content.
Now there are already about 50,000 applications available, including top applications from Google.Play.
“Yandex.Store is an international project. The new store will work for users from different countries: the service interface is already available in eight languages, and there will be more of them in the future, says service manager Alexander Zverev. - We are also open to developers and manufacturers from around the world. Now the market for Android devices is very heterogeneous. In addition to several large players, there are many smaller companies that also have a significant market share. By launching a new store, we are expanding the possibilities of choice for mobile device manufacturers and, as a result, for end users. ”
Mobile device manufacturers and mobile operators can integrate a new store into their models for free and receive a portion of sales revenues. Yandex.Store is already installed on devices: Oppo, PocketBook, Explay, teHet, WEXLER, 3Q and Qumo. On some of them, it is the only app store. On the basis of Yandex.Store, you can also create local versions of the store - with your storefront and under your own brand. This experience is already there - in early February, GetUpps store opened for MegaFon subscribers! based on Yandex.Store.
