Google's official application market, the first time to login to the market needs 25$ fees, but not the use of domestic credit cards and need a foreign address.

Third, the Android Market (91 Market) & Baidu Application Market

Android Market was acquired by 91 after the interface became "foreign flavor" a lot of, overall, the interface in the domestic market belongs to the upper middle. Functional Services provides "application testing" (using a third-party testin cloud measurement) service, but requires manual submission. The speed of the audit generally at the same time want to be more lenient, generally two working days later can be approved.

Iv. AZ Market

If it wasn't for the Android app, I first opened the backstage of the market thinking back to the 90 's in the last century, the interface can be a word "rotten" two words "sucks" three words "very rotten" to describe. A verification code is required for both publishing and auditing, while additional patience is required for other details, such as multi-image uploads. In short, you need to be more patient when releasing applications in this market.

Five, EOE (excellent billion) market

Excellent billion market download volume, but the background of the interface in my aesthetic seems to only say general. Functional aspects are also good, but the initial developer certification speed is relatively slow, need extra patience.

    • Interface: 3
    • Features: 5
    • Login Cost: 4 (need to upload relevant document certification)
    • Manual review: Required
    • Audit Speed: Fast

Six, Jifeng Market

If you do not pass the audit on the Jifeng market, you may consider contacting the person in charge directly. In general, my impression of the market is that it is not a matter of trying to solve the problem, and contacting the person in charge usually has a better result. Yes, in my opinion, the Jifeng market is more like an offline market.

The interface and functions want to be in general, while the Jifeng market provides a fee for the SDK and API (who tried to use it?). This is their characteristic.

    • Browser support: 6
    • Interface: 5
    • Features: 5
    • Login Cost: 4 (need to upload relevant document certification)
    • Manual review: Required
    • Audit Speed: Slow

    • Manual review: Required
    • Audit Speed: Fast

    • Other instructions: None
VII. Application of NetEase

In several large portal operators in the market, the simple attempt to the NetEase application market. Early NetEase market can not submit their own applications, just by crawling. Personal feeling NetEase application market personnel are not many, because the speed of artificial response want to be relatively slow, but the general problem try to fix themselves or can.

    • Browser support: 6
    • Interface: 5
    • Features: 5
    • Login Cost: 4 (need to upload relevant document certification)
    • Manual review: Required
    • Audit Speed: General
    • Other notes: There may be a situation that is temporarily not included, it is estimated that the problem of caching don't care too much
Eight, pea pod market

Pea Pod is just an app search, and it seems to be able to allow users to upload submitted apps in the near future.

Overall, the market is more stringent audit, whether it is to login to the developer certification or new application submissions need to upload the relevant documents, so when submitting the application need to prepare additional information, as of today (May 23, 2013) All my people developed the application is not approved, very residual.

The interface is relatively concise, but do not know why the Chinese and English bilingual, although it does not affect the use of personal feeling is very "forced", while there are a small number of copy errors but do not affect the use.

At the same time, the pea pod market does not seem to support app claims at the moment, but if you can search your app in pea pods, you'll need to resubmit it yourself. Currently (May 23, 2013) I do not know how to deal with repetitive applications, because I have not yet reviewed the experience in this market.

    • Browser support: 6
    • Interface: 5
    • Features: 3
    • Login Cost: 6 (need to upload relevant document certification, and need to think about the long waiting time)
    • Manual review: Required
    • Audit Speed: Slow
    • Other Notes: Audit relative comparison "Earnest", you need to be ready to be beaten back
Eight, Meizu developer backstage

The first sign-in Meizu market will be more confusing, in the interaction of Meizu developers backstage is not friendly. For example, you need to "add a new version" action to update your software. At the same time you may be confused about the "app list" and "Version list", which you need to study time.

In the preparation of materials, it is advisable to suggest that you have a Meizu mobile phone alone to this market, because the Meizu resolution to be very "different". Also, you may need to readjust your app's icon size "96x96" and the size of "106x106" are rare in other markets.

The review of new applications is relatively slow, and it is estimated that the background manual tests are more careful. Subsequent additions and updates to the new version would be smoother.

At the same time, the original background does not seem to support the browser outside IE (I have to open the virtual machine), but the recent test seems to be no problem.

    • Browser support: 4
    • Interface: 4
    • Features: 4
    • Login Cost: 4 (need to upload relevant document certification)
    • Manual review: Required
    • Audit Speed: General
    • Other instructions: None
Nine, Xiaomi Developer station

Audit want to be more rigorous, strict degree even you need to adjust your application copy (such as can not have too many spaces, relatively short paragraphs, etc.). It is common to repeat rejections and submissions in the Xiaomi market, which suggests that you need to have your mind ready.

At the same time, Xiaomi market will be the audit of the application of non-adoption has specific instructions and guidance. A new version of the application has a crash, the market is directly provided by the Logcat log files, the details are done in place.

    • Browser support: 7
    • Interface: 7
    • Features: 5
    • Login Cost: 4 (need to upload relevant document certification)
    • Manual review: Required
    • Audit Speed: General
    • Other notes: All aspects of the requirements are relatively strict
Ten, the operator market

has tried to cross-connect, mobile and telecom sky-wing application market, but generally these market interaction and functional aspects have congenital defects. Some markets only support Internet Explorer, and the authentication information you need to submit will greatly test your patience and self-control.

Statistics appear to be relative to other "private" application market, the download amount is less. Unless necessary and specific channels are required, individuals are highly advised not to register their applications in such markets. Xi. Brand Business Market

Tried HTC, Samsung, and Moto markets.

There is no good experience in these markets, and even in the Samsung market I can't get through the normal registration process. As a result, individuals and companies have abandoned these markets for time and cost reasons. 12. Other

There are also large and small other Android applications in the market, if there are missing relatively larger market welcomes you to put forward. 13. Summary

It's a huge amount of work to publish Android apps to the big markets now. So we need to according to the actual situation and the user group release, here is mainly to give my personal view: the first group

    • Google Play Market
    • Application Sinks
    • Xiaomi Market
    • Excellent billion (EOE) market
Second batch of teams
    • Android Market
    • AZ Market
    • Jifeng Market
    • Pea pod Market (waiting to be seen)
Third batch of teams
    • N Multi-market
    • NetEase Application
    • Meizu Market
    • Wood ants
Fourth batch of teams
    • Operator Market
    • Brand Business Market

If you don't want to take up too much of your publishing, it is recommended that you update the market version of the first and second teams completely. The choice of the market itself also needs to be judged by itself and by various applications.

At the same time, the application itself requires a good version update reminder, which reduces the cost of installing and updating the app for users less.
