Amazon has officially announced that its Android Appstore for non-Amazon devices will shut down on August 20, 2025, marking the end of a 14-year run.

• Who’s affected?

  • Android users who installed the Amazon Appstore on phones or tablets will lose access.

  • Amazon devices like Fire Tablets and Fire TV are not affected.

• Refunds:
  Amazon says users can claim refunds for any unused Amazon Coins after the shutdown.

• Why it matters:
  This store once positioned itself as an alternative to Google Play, but it never caught on. The closure leaves some developers without a distribution channel and some users without easy access to previously purchased apps.
