Best alternative to the Play Store | December 26, 2015
Our favorite Google Play Store alternative is SlideMe, where you can find a whole bunch of cool, hand-picked apps that have been individually tested to ensure that they work on AOSP (Android Open-Source Project), and are not tied into the Play Store's services.

Spotlight: SlideME is a junk-free alternative to the Google Play app store | May 4, 2015
Those running the store manually inspect and review app submissions, judging apps like regular users would - based on meaning and value. Hence, the place is kept clean of junk apps, scams, and other types of apps you absolutely shouldn't touch without surgical gloves on. The quality over quantity approach works quite well, and there's another concept at play here, which could appeal to many users over the globe - SlideME apps are curated to function on AOSP-based devices, hence they are not solely dependent on Google Play Services.

Going Beyond Google Play in Distributing Your Android Apps | May 16, 2014
SlideME is another marketplace worth looking into. Their philosophy is - one app store can't reach everyone, everywhere with the applications they want, so they basically provide a way to market, deliver and distribute content to users that you wouldn't have access to in your traditional channels. They claim that for most developers SlideME is either second behind the official Google Play store for global distribution or third for US distribution behind Amazon AppStore.

Working with Android Stores to Protect Against “Master Key” and Other Exploits | July 22, 2013
All applications on SlideME are scanned for viruses and exploits, including the Master-Key exploit (courtesy of Bluebox Security), before they are reviewed and approved by our editors.
We are pleased to highlight slideME as the first app store to publicly promote the use of the Bluebox Security Scanner. We agree with SlideME that independent app stores must take a “safety first” approach to protecting users. That is why we are actively collaborating with Android app markets beyond just Google Play to improve the security of the Android ecosystem across all market places when it comes to scanning for exploits and we are now including Bluebox app store partners in our responsible disclosure process.
