f-droid.org is a (popular?) 'free' apk store alternative to google. The convenience of it to users is that new releases can be automatically updated instead of tracking each developer's website and manually side-loading.

@fdroidorg Ah, I didn't realise! Maybe one day. I think Thomas would be very much a supporter of f-droid and an alternative to the Google Play Store, but would need the time to make the changes.
