Recent years have seen a meteoric rise in the use of APKs, as people are increasingly unwilling to spend money on premium ads. Forget apps that come with a one-time fee - even the apps that work on the SaaS model are available for free on many APK websites. So, if you want to download and use an app without paying any fee at all, you rely on the APK version. Sure, these files aren't available through the official channels, but there are many reputable APK sites such as Malavida, Uptodown, APKPure, APKMirror, and APKStore where you can find such apps.
The risk involved with downloading APKs
Before you install any app, be aware that there is a considerable amount of risk involved. Every Android Package not downloaded from the official store poses a security threat. And so, you're best bet is to rely on trustworthy sites mentioned above to prevent installing malware such as Trojan horse onto your device.
Without much delay, let's discuss one of the most popular APK communities on the internet - r/ApksApps. On this subreddit, you'll find quality information that you can trust.
My recent experience on r/ApksApps
Yesterday I was scrolling through r/ApksApps and saw a thread asking for recommendations for the best music player for Android. Over the years, I've tried and tested many of them, so I decided to comment on the post.
I felt that PowerAmp was the most stable music player I had used in the past 4-5 years, and there were a few interesting options in the thread that I wasn't aware of earlier. These were Blackplayer Ex, Avee Player, RetroMusicPlayer, and Musicolet.
About r/ApksApps - Community & Members
The community has a current 29,000+ members, many of whom are online at any given time. This subreddit was created on November 2nd, 2018, and quickly accumulated a large following in just over two years. I'm sure this is one of those subs that will reach 100k+ members in the next few years and keep growing from there. The numbers are truly impressive, and the content is top notch as well.
How to access r/ApksApps?
If you're not already a Reddit user, you can create an account and join the r/ApksApps subreddit by typing "r/ApksApps" into your search bar. Once you create an account and confirm your email address, you'll be able to follow subreddits, comment on posts, and even post anything on any of the subreddits.
Moderators of r/ApksApps
It's easy to manage a Facebook or Instagram page with less than 30,000 followers, but similar cannot be said for Reddit. Sure, there are dozens of pages out there that have more than 100,000 members and are managed by a single person. However, I don't see that as a positive side, as the entire community shouldn't have an individual managing everything. Firstly, because it's tedious on the mod, and secondly, he/she might not be able to maintain the standard of posts on the subreddit.
I found five mods on /r/ApksApps at the time of writing this review - Oilers974?, hifi_2007_reviews?, Mobile750APKStore?, PSP_91?, and stiles_stillinkski. Out of these mods, hifi 2007 is the most popular mod, because he has his own website where you can read and learn about various APKs.
Why should you follow r/ApksApps?
I enjoy the content on this subreddit. I remember this particular post from a few days ago where a user asked for the best anime APKs, and he got more than 30 comments. Out of those, a single comment offered about six APK options - Anime ultima, Aniko, Anime x stream, Anime twist, Funimation mod, and Crunchyroll mod.
Community Engagement
I am not deterred by the community's small numbers. In fact, it is one of the most active subs I have seen in a while. Each post has a considerable number of upvotes and comments, and there are various types of content buckets. I like to check out posts related to updates, mod packs, and announcements.
Browsing & Navigation
There may be numerous users on r/ApksApps at the same time, but that doesn't affect the browsing and navigation on this page. Though there are hundreds of users active, you can easily check various sections, sort content, and even open a particular post and engage in a thread without any discrepancy. I assume this is mainly because most of the posts are just plain text-based, and they take up less space than rich media.
Streaming links
Another striking thing about this subreddit is that you get access to community links. If you want to step out of Reddit and engage on other platforms, you can do so. There are links to Telegram and Discord where you can connect with the core community members regarding updates, off-topic discussions, app releases, etc.
Reddit Gold
I was shocked to see so many gold posts on Reddit's r/ApksApps community. How about you? You'll find posts with gold awards and even comments with gold honors. So far, the r/ApksApps community has exceeded my expectations for a small Reddit community with less than 30,000 members.
Related Subreddits
A subreddit that recommends other subreddits related to its niche can help increase the user experience. Most users are unaware of specific communities and don't even find them, so this feature on r/ApksApps is a great way to gain access to six similar subreddits.
Filter by flair
I find the lack of flair-based filtering on subreddits to be a frustration. Why? Because each subreddit is filled with a lot of content, and without filters, you have to browse through the entire mess to find what you're looking for. Luckily, r/ApksApps has 11 different options for content - ?MEGATHREADS,? ?ANNOUNCEMENTS,? ?MOD RELEASES,? ?APPLERELEASES,? ?MOD PACKS?, ?UPDATES?, ?QUESTIONS?, ?REQUESTS (APP OR MOD),? ?MISLEADING CONTENT?, and ?NEWS AND ARTICLE.?
Important rules you must know before joining r/ApksApps?

Design
The r/ApksApps subreddit is a fine example of an app page that's done right. There's a unique community icon consisting of an Android logo. In addition to that, there's a unique cover image that helps the page to stand out. Apart from the general Reddit menus, you have dedicated flair options, related subreddits, and even links to other platforms.
