Another one of those platforms of various software downloads that (often with malicious partners) change installers to insert all kinds of crap (adware, viruses, rootkits, trojans, ...) and make a profit on the back of original softwares developers (even free programs). IMPORTANT TIP: Always remember to search the programs that you find interesting on a search engine and go directly to the developer's website to download it without risk.

I once downloaded something from here, it pulled up a "Brothersoft" installer. I had to click through at least 4 screens that asked me if I wanted some PUP installed, yet it still installed PUPs on my computer. Stay away, this is not worth your time.

I downloaded an apk file from here. It was an app store. It spammed my notifications and kept an icon saying I had 1 unread notification when I didn't, and no matter how many times I checked it wouldn't go away. I uninstalled it and the problem was fixed. I recommend you avoid this place and be cautious if you must go.
