Pros

  • Huge library of thousands of apps
  • Premium games available free of charge
  • Easy to grasp navigational interface

Cons

  • Includes software with compromised security
  • Questionable legality of many downloads

If you're tired of the limited library and administrative restrictions of the Google Play Store, Blackmart offers a third-party solution. This is the wild west of app stores, and while that means that you have access to a whole lot more than what Google Play offers, the lack of comparable vetting means you'll have to exercise caution when using it to track down new apps.

That's not to say that Blackmart isn't safe. The app itself is well-designed, and the real risk comes from downloading apps that could be compromised by malware. Since there's no process for vetting what apps are on the store, you'll need to rely on good faith or word of mouth to separate potential security risks from legitimate software. Not being licensed through Google comes with other hassles as well. Blackmart software won't automatically update, so you'll need to be diligent about keeping up with new patches.

There's also the question of legality. Blackmart lets just about anyone list their apps, and full versions of paid games and software platforms are available in abundance. All of the software on Blackmart is free, but some of its legality is questionable. The long and short of it is that Blackmart can offer you more flexibility, but it requires a greater level of due diligence on your part. Whether you're worried about a malware infestation or the ethics of piracy, you'll need to take the lead and know that you can't rely on the software itself to provide you with a safety net.
