Amazon Appstore to Close Down, Impacting Android Users

One of the top Android app stores, the Amazon Appstore, is set to shut down in a few months. With over half a million apps available, this closure will affect third-party Android devices, while Fire tablets and Fire TV products will remain unaffected. Starting August 20, 2025, Amazon Appstore support for Android phones will cease, along with the discontinuation of the Amazon Coins program. Developers are no longer able to submit new titles, signaling the end of an era for the app store. Amazon cites streamlining services as the reason behind the closure, hinting at a possible shift towards Google's Play Store for future endeavors.
