The Amazon Appstore is an app store for Android devices developed and maintained by Amazon. It provides access to hundreds of thousands of apps, games, and in-app purchases. A key feature is its integration with Amazon user accounts and services like Prime and Amazon Coins.
The Amazon Appstore is an application store for Android devices owned and operated by Amazon. It was launched in March 2011 as an alternative to Google's Play Store and other third-party app stores.
A key distinguishing feature of the Amazon Appstore is its deep integration with other Amazon services. Users can sign in with their Amazon account to easily purchase apps. This enables features like a single 1-click checkout experience and access to payment methods associated with their Amazon account, including gift cards or credits. There are also discounts and offers exclusively for Prime members.
The appstore features over 400,000 apps and games across a broad range of categories. Developers can submit their Android apps for publication on the store through the Amazon Developer Portal. Unique services are offered to developers, such as A/B testing features and the ability to monetize apps and games through in-app purchases using Amazon's in-app purchasing API. The store also utilizes Amazon Coins, which allow customers extra savings on app purchases.
While the Amazon Appstore has a smaller catalog than the Google Play Store, its major advantage lies in the integration with Amazon logins, payment systems and Prime benefits. This makes it appealing to owners of Fire OS and Android devices with Amazon accounts.
