Official Chinese App Stores: The Complete Directory & Download Guide

Due to the Google Play Store’s limited availability in China, the Chinese mobile ecosystem has developed its own thriving network of official app stores. China’s smartphone market has three main operating-system ecosystems: Android, iOS and HarmonyOS. According to Counterpoint Research, Android accounted for 58% of smartphone sales in China in Q2 2026, followed by HarmonyOS at 24% and iOS at 18%. China has several major app stores, including Huawei AppGallery, Tencent MyApp, Xiaomi App Store, OPPO App Market, vivo App Store and Honor App Market.

Use the directory below to find each store’s official website and download options. That way, whether you are doing market research or looking to download apps, you can safely navigate China’s vast app store and app ecosystem.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is There a Chinese Google Play Store?

No. There is no single Chinese equivalent of Google Play. Android users can access apps through manufacturer stores such as Xiaomi App Store and OPPO App Market, or independent platforms such as Tencent MyApp.

These are separate stores with their own app catalogues and accounts.

Can I Install These App Stores on an iPhone?

No. You can’t install Android APK files on an iPhone. To download Chinese iPhone apps, use Apple’s App Store. The apps available depend on your Apple Account’s country or region. See our guide to using the Apple App Store in China to find out how to download Chinese iPhone apps.

Why Won’t a Chinese App Store APK Install?

Check that the APK supports your Android version and device. If the phone asks for installation permission, enable it for the browser or file manager you used to download the file. An Android APK will not install on an iPhone. For HarmonyOS devices, use Huawei’s installation instructions. If Android reports an invalid package or signature, obtain a fresh copy from the official provider.
