About this app

Xiaomi GetApps serves as an alternative to Google Play Store for Xiaomi devices. It offers a variety of apps, themes, and games tailored to your Xiaomi device. In this article, we’ll see how it performs to know if it can be your primary app store. 

User Interface & Experience

Xiaomi GetApps’ main screen greets users with a clean interface. It instantly shows you a curated list of applications, games, and themes. Finding apps to install is also seamless. Apps are listed based on their popularity, release date, and specific categories of interest. 

For instance, there’s a “Communication” section on GetApps, that specifically lists popular messaging platforms, like Messenger, WhatsApp, and others. An “Entertainment” section that lists apps like TikTok, Viu, and more. 

What I liked about GetApps is that it is properly integrated with Xiaomi devices. The app accurately shows personalized recommendations based on users’ preferences and usage. 

The inclusion of themes and wallpapers also adds customization options for Xiaomi devices, giving users the ability to style their phone’s interface. 

App Library

Xiaomi GetApps features an extensive library of applications that covers a wide range of genres and functionality. However, Google-related servers and apps are still missing from Xiaomi GetApps. 

Beyond that, everything seems to be available. From Facebook to Instagram, almost every app installed on my Samsung Galaxy A53 is on Xiaomi GetApps. 

One thing I also noticed is that Xiaomi GetApps allows me to download specific apps that aren’t available on Google Play Store due to regional restrictions. There are also apps that are not present on Google Play Store but are available on GetApps, like AnTuTu Benchmark. 

There were also instances when an app reported to be updated on Google Play Store, but has a newer version on Xiaomi GetApps. 

Some users also mentioned that games from Xiaomi GetApps are more optimized for Xiaomi devices compared to the versions on Google Play Store. 

Additional Features

Besides app discovery and downloads, Xiaomi GetApps offers extra features that further enhance user experience. 

• App Management – allows users to view and control installed applications to monitor updates and storage usage. 
• System Cleaner – allows users to monitor and clean their device’s storage.
• Security – prioritizes security with timely scans to protect users from malware and malicious apps. 

Final Thoughts

Xiaomi GetApps offers the majority of popular apps besides Google-related services and apps. It even offers regionally restricted applications and may have newer versions of applications than Google Play Store. It also offers applications that are not on Google Play Store, like AntuTu Benchmark. You also get a selection of themes and wallpapers for your Xiaomi device. 

Overall, it’s a great backup app store for Xiaomi devices, giving you options in case an update or app is not available on Google Play Store.
