ONE store is a New Third-Party App Market Now Opens for Beta

Thanks to the open source nature of Android, users can download applications from not only Google Play Store but also third-party app market and one such is ONE store from South Korea.

ONE store is a third-party Android application marketplace now making its global beta service debut for international users, bringing along many notable features.

The brand has been active in the South Korean digital landscape for a long time, serviced under SK Square, a sister corporation of telecom company SK Telecom.

As the only non-legacy app market to have survived in South Korea, the brand is now expanding to the global market with a beta version available to users worldwide.

Security

One of the many concerns about third-party app stores is the security of user data, especially when it comes to personal and financial information needed for purchasing applications, leading many users to be worried about user data leakage.

Being a trusted app market in South Korea for many years, ONE store has attested its commitment to the highest standards of security and has achieved the Information Security Management System (ISMS) certification in South Korea. This means users can browse and use the app store without worries as personal data are in safe hands.

Payment Methods

When logging into ONE store for the first time, users will immediately notice how intuitive and easy it is to use the app store.

Not only does the registration process quick and simple, the homepage is intuitive and users can easily use the search function to find the games or apps they want to download. There are plenty of free-to-play games to download but there are also paid titles such as Motion Twin’s roguelike-Metroidvania Dead Cells and its newly released “Return to Castlevania” DLC.

For payments, ONE store accepts two different methods, including the standard credit card purchase but users can also use Razer Gold as an alternative. Of course, the app store automatically adds in any valid coupons at checkout, which is rather convenient.

User Benefits

Speaking of coupons, one aspect that ONE store prides itself on is the various user benefits it provides to its customers. For one, the app store aims to offer ways to reward users with points, coupons, and discounts, which no other app market normally provides.

To commemorate the worldwide launch of the beta, ONE store is offering a 10% discount on all purchases, regardless of the amount of applications bought. Furthermore, first-time users will be eligible for a 30% discount coupon.

That is not all as the app store has prepared two different discount coupons to celebrate the upcoming Christmas, with the first coupon offering up to 50% off available from December 15th until December 21st.

Meanwhile, the other coupon that discounts up to 90% will be available from December 22nd until December 31st.

Referral Program

On top of coupons, there is also a referral program, which grants constant benefits for both the invited and the invitee, earning points that can be used to purchase applications in its library.

There are 3 ways of referrals, and they are as follows:

• Have a friend input your referral code while registering for an account
• When a friend redeems your referral code and downloads a game
• Or if a friend redeems your referral code while making purchases

Each point is valued at $1 SGD and to redeem the code, users simply need to head to the “My” page at the bottom right of the screen and input the code in the “Redeem Code” page. For every friend joining ONE store or downloading a game, you and the friend will earn points.

Meanwhile, if a friend with your referral code made a purchase, you and them will get 10% of the payment amount as points. Note that points have an expiry of 7 days after code redemption.

Implementation of coupons and referral programs that grant users plenty of extra benefits is certainly a huge welcome, yet no other Android app market normally would do, thus marking ONE store to stand out among the crowd.

From Beta to Launch

As mentioned, ONE store is currently in its beta phase and thus it may lack some features. That said, the app market brand is working to implement the necessary features when it comes to the official launch version.

Additionally, the brand is also working on expanding its library of games and apps, opening its door to diverse genres of mobile games and attracting keen developers.
