Aptoide also complained about Google's restrictive policy that forced device manufacturers to install many of its applications on one device even though users only used a few of them. Finally, Aptoide alleges that Google's Chrome browser prevented users from searching Aptoide store apps for containing malware, although the company tried to contact Google about it and prove that their site does not have any kind of malware.

These allegations have further raised concerns that Android will one day become Google's proprietary operating system and it will no longer be open.
