Amazon to Close Android App Store After Over a Decade

Author : Logan Update:Apr 11,2025

If you're a fan of the Amazon Appstore for Android, there's some unfortunate news to share. Amazon has announced, as reported by TechCrunch, that it will be shutting down its app store on Android devices as of August 20th this year. This marks the end of a service that has been operational since its launch back in 2011, which is quite a run in the fast-paced world of technology.

For developers who have been publishing on the Amazon Appstore and their fans, this news might not offer much consolation. According to the support page, apps installed from the Amazon Appstore on Android devices won't be guaranteed to receive further updates or support. However, it's worth noting that the Amazon Appstore will continue to be available on Amazon's own devices, such as Fire TV and Fire Tablets.

Interestingly, this decision comes at a time when alternative app stores are gaining traction. Yet, Amazon's app store has struggled to become a household name. One reason could be that it didn't offer compelling incentives to attract users, unlike competitors such as the Epic Games Store, which has attracted users with its free games program.

This move by Amazon serves as a reminder that even with the backing of a major corporation, longevity in the tech industry isn't guaranteed. But don't worry; if you're looking for exciting new mobile games to try, why not check out our top five new mobile games list for this week?
