For Developers

Submit Your App

AppDown welcomes submissions from app developers who want their apps to reach a global audience outside Google Play. We provide free distribution through our verified APK catalog. There are no fees for catalog inclusion, and we do not require revenue sharing or advertising commitments.

To submit your app, send the following to [email protected]:

Your app name, current version number, and target Android API level. Brief description of your app's functionality and target audience. Signed APK file or download link from your official website. Your contact information including company name and verified email domain.

We typically process new app submissions within 5-7 business days. The verification and onboarding process for a new app takes approximately 2-3 days after we obtain the official APK.

Verification Process

Every app we publish passes through our five-stage verification: digital signature verification, antivirus scanning, permission audit, network traffic analysis, and real device testing on Samsung, Xiaomi, Pixel, and OnePlus devices.

We will contact you if any issues are found during verification. Common issues include outdated SDK versions, suspicious permissions without clear justification, or compatibility problems with newer Android versions. We work with developers to resolve these issues before publishing.

After your app is added to the catalog, you will receive a developer dashboard URL where you can view download statistics, user reviews, and version history. You can submit new versions through the same email or through your dashboard.

API Access

We are working on a public API that will allow developers to programmatically submit new versions, monitor download statistics, and manage their app listings. The API is currently in private beta with select partners.

If you are interested in API access, please email [email protected] to join the waitlist. We expect to launch the public API in late 2026.
