Amazon's Android Appstore to Close its Doors
Fans of the Amazon Appstore on Android devices have received unwelcome news: Amazon is shutting down its Android app store on August 20th, 2024. This announcement, reported by TechCrunch, follows over a decade of operation since its 2011 launch.
While the closure affects numerous developers and users, the Appstore will continue to operate on Amazon's Fire TV and Fire Tablet devices. However, users with apps installed from the Android Appstore are not guaranteed future updates or support, according to Amazon's support page.
The timing is somewhat ironic, coinciding with the rise of alternative app stores. Amazon's Appstore never achieved widespread popularity, likely due to a lack of compelling features to attract users, unlike competitors offering initiatives such as free game programs.
This closure underscores the unpredictable nature of even large companies' commitments. However, there's no need for concern regarding app discovery. For those seeking new mobile games, we recommend checking out our top five new mobile game releases this week.
