What’s Different About the Onside Store?

Onside is for users who want more choice in where they get iOS apps, without compromising on safety.

More apps and categories (including region-legal, age-gated content)

The Onside Store can offer apps and games you might not find elsewhere. This can include:

• Popular titles and indie apps

• New releases

• Broader categories (for example: mature-audience apps, crypto, or gaming), where they are legally compliant and appropriately age-gated

Potential for different prices and offers

Onside gives developers more flexibility around distribution and monetization. In practice, that can translate into more competitive pricing and better offers on paid apps, in-app purchases, and subscriptions.

A familiar app store experience on iPhone

Use the Onside Store like any other iOS app marketplace:

• Browse curated collections and trending apps

• Search for apps by name or category

• Open detailed app pages for screenshots, descriptions, and version information

In many cases, app pages also include reviews and ratings synced with the Apple App Store.

Security, privacy, and secure payments

• Privacy-first approach: We minimize data collection and avoid collecting information that isn’t required to operate the Onside Store.

• App review and checks: Apps in the Onside Store go through moderation and automated checks before we list them.

• Secure checkout: Pay for apps, in-app items, and subscriptions using a credit/debit card or Apple Pay (with iDEAL, PayPal, and Klarna planned).

• Updates: You can keep the Onside Store app and your installed apps up to date (automatic updates depend on your iOS settings).
