First off apologies if this question has already been asked/answered had a good look round and couldn't find anything.

I'm new to developing apps and have made one on the Google App Inventor. The app is associated with my quiz show on YouTube and basically provides quick links to the latest quiz show aswell as my associated blog,twitter,Facebook. The app is very basic but I like it and it does what I want it to do.

So I was wondering do I have to put the app straight onto Market or can I pit it somewhere else to get abit of exposure and users to see how it goes before uploading to Market. I think the $25 sign up fee is a little steep for the moment but will eventually pay it and upload.

So yeah basically as it says is there somewhere I can post the app, how do I go about it.

Your thoughts please.

Yes, theres other markets you can post your app to. AndroidPit has it's own market, go to androidpit.com and sign up for a developer account. Also you could post to getjar.com and slideme.org and theres a few others.

No, its free to post it, though for your paid apps, the markets may charge a percentage of your apps earnings. For free apps they don't charge anything.

Ive tried uploading on here but it says it has to be on the Android Market first before it can be put here, so kinda defeats the object of what i wanted. Cos i dont wanna pay Android Market $25 yet. Will give GetJar a try

I'm personal messaging you the email of Sven Woltmann. He is the admin/dev for androidPit's App Center, and has helped me when I have problems with uploading apps to androidPit before. I'm sure he can help you if you email him.

I have a similar problem. My country is not supported in the Android Market, hence I can't upload my app there.

When I tried to upload the paid version of my app here on AndroidPit it complained and asked me to contact this email address: apps@androidpit.de

I have sent a mail there, but no response yet. What is the correct email addr and I hope this is automated in some way in the future.

Thanks Aaron, I got a response from Tuyen (your app portfolio manager).

For the benefit of all, let me summarise. It is currently not possible to upload apps in AndroidPIT unless the app is uploaded on Android Market first.

I asked whether this will be possible in the near future, but haven't received a reply yet.

This is simply a response to the AndroidPit admin team. I'm basically happy with Android Market yet it will not allow for purchases of apps from certain countries. It seems AndroidPit requires developers to register with Android Market as a requisite for distribution. With free apps this is a none issue. If I can't purchase great apps eg: Skeye Pro from Android Market and thus AndroidPit what is the point of AndroidPit? Said another way i would expect there to be a significant distinction between the two resources...product availability being paramount.

Thank you,

Barry Cook

Either pick up programming or hire someone to do it for you.

you can submit your app in different app market place sites also you can put your app through social media sites like Facebook, twitter and linkedin by creating Facebook product page for your app also you can create individual page in your site for your app
