HackStore: third-party application store for Mac

Not so long ago, in one of my previous articles, I have praised the store Mac App Store applications for its ease and convenience, as well as show programs that facilitate the process of updating third-party softwareInstalled from other sources. However, in order to find the best software, sometimes you need to spend some amount of time, moving from one site to another. And it would be great if there was a similar application store, but only with the content that is not ranked in the official! And oddly enough, there is one. Meet - HackStore!

But before you go directly to the application itself, let's first answer the question: at present have an official store, why do we need another one?

And it's actually simple. The fact that Mac App StoreAs well as in App Store on iOS, it works quite tough approval of content before publishing. But when developers for the mobile platform to go almost nowhere (except for write tweaks Cydia), The desktop application installation can be carried out not only from the official Apple store, without any tricks and jailbreak. Actually, it was due to the fact that the approval Mac App Store is extremely tough, many developers refused Content in it of their labors, giving the user the ability to download the necessary software on his his official resources.

However, if you are in search of an application, the first thing that we have to do is open a search engine or one of the soft-sites and search for the desired program. And all this - time.

Here is our aid and comes HackStore. Appearance strongly resembles application store from Apple: there is also a recently added utilities to games, recommendation category - all the things with which we have become accustomed to deal with, so get used to the side of the store is not difficult. And do not be confused by the name of any pirated content you will not find here, just paid or free software license. In order to dispel your doubts in licensing this product, you can look in the section of the recommended programs, which are perfectly legal applications such as iTunes, f.lux and CleanMyMac 2 (By the way, the latter was involved in a special promotion where you can get a license for absolutely free application).

The process of installing applications is the same just as in the Mac App Store: Select your favorite application or game, press a "Download" button and wait for the program to be downloaded and ready to work. And, of course, with a new version of the software installed, you will be prompted to automatically update. All in all, how we love and how we accustomed.

HackStore absolutely free. Publish applications can anyone, whether it's a team of indie developers or large corporation - plenty of space. Unfortunately, the popularity of the store is not enough. Application updates come very rarely, and everyone still can not gather under one roof. Besides, I was faced with the problem of updating the version of the application - not all of those that are in HackStore, are the latest available version.

However, if you are looking for a free alternative products from Apple - HackStore could well be suitable for this role.
