The HackStore Launches, Download Now For OS X

Hamza HAsnain

A few weeks ago we made a post about a alternative to the OS X App Store named the HackStore. Just today, the first public version was released and is now available for download. While the application implements an interesting concept, first impressions leave you with the feeling that the program was rushed and not as incredible as we had previously hoped.
To start, the home screen contains huge banner ads that have no relation to the store itself. Additionally, most of the icons used are either found online, or poorly copied from Apple, and to make things worse, the download buttons merely open a browser window where you can separately look for another download button. With little functionality I would recommend that you wait for improvement before downloading.
