IT giant Yandex positions itself as an alternative to Google for a Russian-speaking audience, so it is not surprising that a separate application store has appeared so long ago. What he is good, better or worse than the playing market, as well as additional nuances we want to tell you today.
App store
The main difference is yandex.store from Google Market - specialization exclusively by applications: both applied solutions and games. For each of the categories there are separate tabs.
All products available in this store are additionally sorted by specialization (applied programs) or genre (games). Interesting novelties are made on a separate tab of the main window Yandex.store. The system works without failures: for example, no office applications in the category "Entertainment" or shooters on the "Sports Games" tab.
Protection against viruses
One of the important features and differences in the application under consideration from other alternative markets are integration with anti-virus protection from the Kaspersky Lab. According to developers, all the products laid out in Yandex.Store are committed to this protection, as a result of which their decision is one of the safest on the market.Application options applications
Search for a specific application in Yandex.store is not too different from other solutions of the same class. It is possible to find the desired game or a text search engine built into the market or use voice input. You can also use tags as sorting results.
Simplified downloading program
The second feature of the application store from Yandex is a simplified display of information about the program posted in it. A description, rating, number of downloads, developer contacts, as well as a shop administration complaint, if the product does not correspond to the declared one. It can be both advantage and disadvantage, so the final conclusion is left for users.
Bonus account
Buying an application in yandex.store can be paid through a bank card (a binding and optionally confirmation is required), Yandex.Money (user verification is not required), balance on the phone and bonus account. The last option is the most curious; It represents something like cachekake - 10% of the purchase cost by any method returns to a bonus account, and the purchase can be paid in this method, provided that funds are sufficient. True, it is possible to use it only inside Yandex.store: it does not apply to any other bonus account.
Manager of installed applications
Like any other market, the solution from Yandex allows you to manage the programs already installed on the device: delete, update or cancel the installation of new versions. True, this functionality looks poorly relatively with Google Play Market, but the store from the Russian corporation displays the number of programs that require updates.
