How do I get the Amazon Appstore on my Android device? To download these apps free now, download the Amazon Appstore for Android: https://www.amazon.com.au/getappstorenow Make sure you select Amazon.com.au during login.
Why isn’t the app free for me? If you have an existing Amazon.com account but cannot download the app for free, you may still be shopping the Amazon.com store.
How can I get the app for free if I have an Amazon.com account? To shop Amazon.com.au change your ‘1-Click address’ to your Australian address. Go into 'Manage Your Content and Devices' on Amazon.com or 'Manage Your Kindle' on Amazon.com.au and check that the ‘Country Settings’ show your ‘Current country’ as Australia. Just below that, it will state: ‘You are currently linked to shop on Amazon.com.au.’ If it says ‘You are currently linked to shop on Amazon.com’, then click the related link to select Amazon.com.au.
You do not need to create a new account and you can continue to shop for physical goods at Amazon.com. You can always change back to Amazon.com for digital products at any time.

Hi all,

Sincere apologies for the inconvenience; we are working to fix this issue now. In the meantime, you can download the apps for free via the Appstore on your device.

Go to the top banner which shows the Free App of The Day - Shuttle+ and then scroll across. Click on the banner that says 'Over $140 in Essential Apps' and you can download the apps from there.

Alternatively, as suggested above you can go to the Top Free section and download the apps from there.

Apologies for this inconvenience,

Thanks,

Lee

I am having problems and hoping someone can help me out. I have the Amazon App but it doesn't show Australia as country of origin only the US/Canada etc.The apps are not free on here which I get from reading above but trying to work out how to download? I go to the Amazon.com.au site and it doesnt have a link to the "Australian App" nor are there apps on there only books?

I have an account with Amazon however I just can't work out what I am supposed to do to get these apps for free?? I read above from the rep that you go to the "top banner which shows the Free App of The Day - Shuttle+ and then scroll across. Click on the banner that says 'Over $140 in Essential Apps' and you can download the apps from there." - I went in to the playstore and I dont have a banner that says top free app of the day, I only have top selling app/top grossing/top apps/top selling now/top new apps/top trending

HELP?

    Hi spuddy9595,
    
    Sorry that you are having difficulties logging in.
    
    I think the issue may be that your account is set to shop Amazon.com. To access the deals on Amazon.com.au you will need to switch your account across to Amazon.com.au.
    
    Go into 'Manage my Content and Devices' and check that the ‘Country Settings’ show your ‘Current country’ as Australia. Just below that, if it says ‘You are currently linked to shop on Amazon.com’, then click the related link to select Amazon.com.au.
    
    If you still have issues let me know, or you can enter your details into www.amazon.com.au/contactus and our customer service team can look at your account and fix this for you.
    
    Thanks so much

      Hi Leanne,
      
      I ended up creating a new login on the Amazon.com.au site and re downloaded the app and signed in with my Australian account and it now works.
      
      Problem with what you have said above is it doesn't actually state "manage my content and devices" anywhere that I can see on the APP. My app on my Galaxy S3 only states "Manage my subscriptions" and Settings and neither of these have anything about changing country

    - spuddy9595 on 31/07/2014 - 09:43
      
      Yeh I am not sure where it is meant to state that, I assume the app is the same on a kindle etc. I also tried to change it through the actual amazon.com website but coudln't fix it that way either. Figured it was just easier to create a new account

  Check storage? May not be the issue but see where the items are to go. Tablet, USB, scard, or the cloud. If I have to down load to devise, with security off, I then open close app and remove from device for later use, all done from Amazon - my account .then virus scan reminds me I have risk to reset security.

Hi fishnz,

Sorry that you are having difficulties. Can you check that 'Unknown Sources' is completely checked in your security settings. Sometimes you can uncheck it for one time only, rather than unchecking it for all downloads in the future. When this happens, you will have difficulties downloading the Appstore.

Thanks,

Lee
fishnz on 31/07/2014 - 10:49

Tried it on my phone and worked easily so I guess I can download the apps into my account now and hopefully transfer them to my Note 8 later when things start working.
Unknown sources is checked on the tablet but still no luck.

Got the app ok. Used desktop to get a bunch of them into my account. That worked ok - have emails confirming and one's i've selected showing in my 'my apps'. Alas using actual amazon app on android with same login details (attempting to download them) none of these are showing as owned. I'm guessing that bit's borked atm.

How do I go about to switch back to US Amazon Store?

- Store RepLee20825 @ Amazon AU on 31/07/2014 - 13:05
  
  Hi neonlight,
  
  To change back to Amazon.com, you can do that at any time through the same method detailed above. Go into 'Manage Your Kindle' on Amazon.com.au and then visit ‘Country Settings’, which should show your ‘Current country’ as Australia. Just below that, it will state: ‘You are currently linked to shop on Amazon.com.au.’ You can then click the related link to select Amazon.com. It may take a couple of minutes to refresh.

  Hi tassietigermaniac,
  
  Your account may be set up to shop Amazon.com.
  
  To check and change this, change your ‘1-Click address’ to your Australian address. Go into 'Manage Your Content and Devices' on Amazon.com or 'Manage Your Kindle' on Amazon.com.au and check that the ‘Country Settings’ show your ‘Current country’ as Australia.
  
  Underneath that, it should say: ‘You are currently linked to shop on Amazon.com.au.’ But if it says ‘You are currently linked to shop on Amazon.com’, then you are definitely shopping Amazon.com. Just click the related link to select Amazon.com.au.

  Hi 93_infinity and DauntingEarth,
  
  If you have the apps on one account on Amazon.com and then move across to Amazon.com.au (or vice versa) your apps should come through and still be visible.
  
  However, if you have set up two separate accounts, unfortunately we cannot join the accounts together and you will need to switch between the two. Here are some further details about logging in and out of different accounts on the one device: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=2…
