1.Amazon Appstore for Android

Amazon it's great site and has good reputation for long time,the number of app there is huge and you can find many great games to play for free and what is most interesting you have Amazon Underground , app that brings over $10,000 worth of apps, games and even in-app items that are actually free.

PROS For app developers the entry to Amazon and  possibility to publish their game is free and the name of their app will not be ,,lost,,under the huge mountain of numbers from other apps that are also popular,and would be not so hard reachable.

CONS The downloads numbers of the apps are not showed to app publisher because they offer the payed option for the developer to show him the app downloads and sometime even the star rankings of users are out of view.

In all those app stores i have tested myself and all were in good functionality 
until i have uploaded my apps in those stores.

The upload wait time depends on many situations and sometime can be different.
If i find other app android stores i will write more about them,so stay tune and watch my blog.
