Judge orders Google to make rival app stores easy to install
Key FactsJudge Donato orders Google to ease rival app-store installs
Aug 14, 2026 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: thenextweb.com
  • At the compliance hearing in San Francisco on 13 August, Judge Donato ordered the changes within one week, by 20 August, and Google has not said whether it will appeal.

  • A search for store for apps showed no third-party stores, prompting Donato to require discoverability through every reasonably phrased variation with at least 70 percent relevance.

  • Google is to replace the View button with Install for third-party stores and remove an additional interstitial banner without generally eliminating safety warnings.

  • Aptoide Games, operated from Lisbon, became the first rival store inside the US Play Store on 10 August.
  • That is not acceptable, that has to be fixed. I want every possible variation that’s even only 70 percent properly phrased.
    — Judge Donato, during a San Francisco hearing on remedies in the Google Android app store antitrust case
