      Look how much free iOS apps there are on the freebies page

      No, Apple discriminates by locking iOS into only 1 store.
      I guarantee you that Amazon would LOVE to be able to sell apps to iOS users!

      i guess @k is another user who didn't read (but agreed ) to apple's T&C's?

      apple wants monopoly on their iOS app sales (via iTunes) and no where else.

      if you are missing out on freebies, don't blame others, blame apple.

      Apple users are affluent anyway and don't need freebies & handouts.

      Amazon discriminating against iOS users.

      Or maybe Apple is discriminating against Android users by not selling apps on Android..

      Nothing stood out for me in the top 100 paid apps. Claimed the voucher though so hopefully something good shows up before the end of June.

      I came here with the same question. The top paid list is full of crap, games, crap games. Or I got the app for free during a previous promo.

      SwiftKey, Swype, TuneIn Pro, an Office app (I have a couple, have used none of them)?

    • Krisjohn on 12/05/2014 - 17:59

      I have a Pebble, so I gave Music Boss a go and so far I'm really happy with it.

      http://www.amazon.com/Reboots-Ramblings-Music-Boss-Pebble/dp…

      Prior to installing this, the built-in music control app couldn't handle my MOD player or my Podcast app, but now I've got access to them and my main music program.

  • bxpressiv on 11/05/2014 - 20:27

    This is pretty good, can finally get one of the apps which never discounts. SabMobile perhaps…

      Tune In Radio Pro was free recently https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/141455 also through the Amazon app store.

    • GnarlyKnuckles on 11/05/2014 - 20:46

      This sounds promising TA, does it essentially make your android device into a fully functioning digital radio, capable of 'picking up' any digital radio station in the world? That would be cool, because I've been looking around for a cheap digital radio, so if this would be a $5 method of 'simulating' one on the 'Pendo' tablet which I already own, that would be excellent. A bit like when I realised that I didn't actually need the "WD media player" I almost bought to play my downloaded video files on my TV, I just had to hook the tablet I already owned up to the TV… LOL, silly me.

    • MasterNoob on 12/05/2014 - 10:12

    Anyone know of a good strategy/adventure-type game (not a MMRP thingy, just a standard game that you go through yourself off-line), that would work on a VERY LOW-END android tablet (specifically, a "Pendo"), and costs ~$5 ?

    How do you actually use it to make a purchase?
    I made a purchase using the Amazon app and it doesn't seem to have used the credit. It just immediately purchased using my credit card without any confirmation!! :( WTF! Not happy…
    __

    Okay, it seems that my order is not yet complete. On the Amazon website it says "payment revision required" for the order I made. When I click on details it gives me an option to pay using my linked credit card for the full price. Am I missing something?

    be warn. usually, apps in amazon store (havent check the games) has lower version number compare to the same apps in google play store.
    not sure why

    • Sujan on 11/05/2014 - 22:35

      Developers usually update the google play store version first I think.

    • TheAviator on 11/05/2014 - 23:36

      hmm, it shows a release date of 2011 on the Amazon Wolfram Alpha, but on Google Play it shows an updated 2013 version. Might be an older one and they're not updating the Amazon version anymore?

      • brawndo on 12/05/2014 - 09:09

        I think that's the "Original release date". The version number in Amazon (1.3.0.4682607) actually looks higher than that in Google Play (1.3.0.4590401).

        • ESEMCE on 13/05/2014 - 07:56

          It doesn't appear as credit..
          You just have to trust that the $5 is there..
          Crappy way to do it, but that's the way it is.
          Make sure you "buy" something you actually want so if you get charged for it, you're not too dark.

        I used mine with my Aus account, no problems.

  • lostn on 12/05/2014 - 13:10

    Do Apps purchased through Amazon Appstore update themselves like those downloaded from Google Play? Will you get a notification saying update for App X is available, download it now?

    • TheOneWhoKnocks on 12/05/2014 - 16:06

      I think you have to update it manually meaning they won't give you a notification, you will have to check regularly for updates.

      • scrimshaw on 12/05/2014 - 16:10
        +3

        Updates can be done automatically when you fire the Amazon Appstore app. There is a setting for it.

        From the Home screen, tap Apps, and then tap Store.
        Tap the Menu icon, and then tap Settings.

        Automatic Updates: When automatic updates are enabled, Amazon Appstore will install new versions of your apps when you're connected to a wireless network. If you select the Notify Me When Updates Are Installed option, you'll see a notification whenever a new version of an app is successfully installed. Updates featuring new or changed permissions will not be automatically installed; you'll have the opportunity to review any new permission before installing the update.

          Automatic Updates: When automatic updates are enabled, Amazon Appstore will install new versions of your apps when you're connected to a wireless network.

          Do you still need to open the app store for it to auto update, or will it do this in the background as long as you're online?

        • TheOneWhoKnocks on 13/05/2014 - 21:04

          Why neg? I didn't hurt anybody's feelings nor was the comment offensive in anyway. Stupid negger.

  • Wish on 09/06/2014 - 19:29

    Did anyone else have issues with their $5 credit disappearing?

    Edit:
    Maybe they were automatically converted to 500 Amazon coins
