Why I’m Building Aeroapk: A New Way to Discover Android Apps

Aero apk — Sat, 19 Sep 2026 21:09:32 +0000

I’m building something new for Android developers: Aeroapk 🚀

The idea is simple:

Android developers should have a place where they can showcase and distribute their apps directly to users — without their app page being buried among thousands of unrelated downloads.

That’s why I started building Aeroapk.

What I’m trying to build

Aeroapk is focused on:

📱 Discovering Android apps
🚀 Helping independent developers showcase their work
🔍 Making app information easier to understand
📦 Providing direct access to APKs
👨‍💻 Giving developers another place to reach users

I’m especially interested in indie developers and open-source Android projects.

But I’m still early

Aeroapk is a work in progress, and I’m trying to learn from developers before adding more features.

So I’d love to hear from Android developers:

What is the biggest problem you face when distributing your app outside Google Play?

Is it:

Getting users?
APK distribution?
Updates?
Trust and security?
Discoverability?
Something else?

I'd genuinely like to hear what you're experiencing.

I'm building Aeroapk in public, so I'll be sharing what I learn along the way.

If you're building an Android app, feel free to tell me about it in the comments. 👇
