So not true…. Every song and album I have bought can be transferred and played on any other MP3 player or service. If you use the web interface, you can only download this song twice, but if you use the Music Manger you can downlaod all your soangs ANYTIME, DRM FREE!

Are there any developers here that can verify this? And is there any way to display a video trailer of your apps in the Amazon App Store?

I never cared about those because I just got the free ones straight from the Google Play Store.

AdAway or AdFree are your friends. But, you’re right, Angry Birds are big ticket apps, so that is surprising that they haven’t received updates.

Currently I’m waiting on both OG Angry Birds (updated in the Play store on 12/11) and Rio (updated in the Play store on 12/19). Still nothing. Last summer a Rio update took literally 4 months to update through Amazon. Insane. I’m convinced there’s something more going on than developer lag. The AB games are really the only apps I have experience with through Amazon, but I think I’d go out on a limb and say I consider these to be big name apps ;)

I grabbed several of them.

TuneIn Radio is worth it too. I do agree Splashtop and Office Pro 6 are great deals though.

Some apps languish, but their Google Play Store counterparts usually do too.

It’s up to the developer to deliver updates to their apps on the Amazon Appstore, not Amazon. Amazon does inspect them for quality though, I think. Big name apps almost universally receive updates fast. My two cents.

There was an app that i downloaded from amazon app store that did not want to open because i wasn’t signed in to the amazon app store. this is pure rubbish. same thing when there’s no connection.

I’m sure there are kids out that that dream of one day being a famous astronomer!

Since then if I choose to dl an album the money goes elsewhere, including Amazon. Music is not apps, but it’s one reason to go with Amazon over Google. It’s the same kind of freedom-limiting nonsense which led me to choose Android over Apple in the first hand.

(It’s probably only good for 1 credit though, like the last time they had that promo going.)

When is Amazon going to fix the lag issues on their app?

I don’t want to install a buggy, slow, battery-draining appstore as a requirement for running apps. Not to mention how slowly updates get released versus the Google Play store. A few dollars here or there for good apps is worth it… I will never use Amazon’s store again.

I’m only seeing a few come up.
