This is devastating: Amazon is giving up on Android!

There were startups with huge focus on Amazon publishing deals to support and maintain versions run by other teams for Google Play. It was somewhat a competition to prevent the monopoly of Google.

Amazon app store will be shut down on August 20, 2025. It was initially launched in spring of 2011.

ยท The Google Play Store now has an app quality warning.
ยท If an app has a potential issue with its overall quality, a yellow alert box on its Play Store page will inform you.
