The Android apps that quietly outlast the excitement of downloading them.
Every app is interesting for the first few days. Favorite APKs waits past that part, then looks at what is still open on people's phones weeks later, once the newness has worn off and only the habit is left.
An app is listed here because people keep coming back to it, not because it made a strong first impression. It has to still be maintained, still be genuine, and still be the one people reach for out of habit.
Every page is built in advance and served as a static file, so it opens right away, the same way the apps here just open without a fuss.
If there is an app you installed on a whim and never deleted, or one you finally uninstalled after years, the contact form is the place to say so.
Apps built to be impressive for a day and then abandoned, or copies of something better that people already trust, do not last long enough to earn a place here.
Favorite APKs is put together by a small team who kept noticing the same handful of apps on their own phones, long after most of what they had downloaded that same month was gone.
An app stays listed for as long as people keep it, and comes off the list once it stops being the one they reach for.
Nobody keeps an app on their phone out of politeness.
