The alternative app store for Android is now live — however muchApple does n’t like others using the term “ app store,”—where US Android owners can download the newAngry Birds Riogame for spare , along with 3,799 other apps . It ’s been years wandering the desert , but Android user finally have an app haven of their own .
Amazon ’s got all the big developers name on there , including Gameloft , Glu Mobile and Rovio , offering up apps either for free or a few dollar and cents . Do n’t want to waste valuable money on an app that turns out to be … well , rubbish ? No problemo says Amazon , who will let you “ Test Drive ” an app for 30 minute — within a web browser . If you like what you see , you’re able to download and pay for it with one come home if you have your requital detail already on Indian file with Amazon . They ’ll also be offer one pay app for free every twenty-four hours for the foreseeable future .
As expected , Amazon ’s using its connection storage good word algorithm to suggest similar apps for download . You fuck when you buy a photographic camera on Amazon , and they outright suggest a photographic camera case or picture taking Holy Scripture ? Same affair . testimonial are of the “ people who bought X also purchase Y ” smorgasbord , which stand for that , just a few hour into the entrepot ’s beingness , you ’ll mostly see staples like Evernote and Kindle . As Amazon bring in traction in the app game , though , the recs will become more and more targeted . At its most helpful , the service may even show free ( or cheaper ) apps that do the same thing as the one you were about to pony up for .
There may only be a relatively humble number of apps at the moment , but that will only increase over time , as Google determine . And , significantly , the apps that are there are the ones you want . Or at least , ones that won’tfry your sound : Amazon will go one tone further than Google in ensuring quality stays high , by reviewing each and every app before they go on sales agreement . Do n’t carry too many narration of Amazon banish dummy apps though — Amazon claims they ’ll only block up them rifle on sales agreement if they do n’t work correctly , or if they have protection way out .
It was n’t until February that Google pop the question aviable WWW - found Android Market . That ’s not much of a head start , specially apply that Amazon ’s translation is already more navigable and user - well-disposed . Yes , there are some serious apps that are MIA : Facebook , MLB.com at Bat , Words With Friends , The Weather Channel Dropbox , Pandora , MenuPages … you get the idea . But Amazon should still be your first stop on an Android app shopping fling . And once it fills up its shelves a bit more , it ’ll also be your last .
