App stores feature over a million apps available for download on your mobile devices.

Hi Emily,
By any chance do you have the list of sites where I can ask review of my apps? It is frustrating not knowing what people think about your new product.
Even though there are too many app stores, Most of the mobile users download apps from trusted ones. A trusted dealer can provide the reviews on the apps. So, the app developed must be reviewed by the users and must be provided in front of the new buyers.
Guys Play Store is the best for these developments
