Ok this is actually pretty cool. So I gave this a try and what I found in the first few mins of using it:

  • you can login anonymously or with your own Google account (anonymous logs you into one of their shared Gmail accounts which personally I don’t like the idea of)
  • it manages all existing apps too, so you can use it as a drop in replacement for the play store.
  • Updates aren’t as well, there doesn’t appear to be a background update option as android requires you to confirm if you wish to install the update for each app.

Overall solid app. I don’t spend a lot of time in the PlayStore so the ads themselves don’t bother me. The moment though I begin getting pop up ads / notifications I’ll be jumping to this full time though

Just be careful when using your own google account on Aurora Store. There are reports of people getting their account banned by google. Do not use an important google account there.

Another cool feature is you can spoof your device’s name. This can allow you to install apps that daddy Google does not approve of for your device.
