The Amazon Appstore will no longer be available on Android as of August 20, 2025. After this date, apps from the digital storefront are “not guaranteed to work” on Android hardware; however, they can continue to be used on devices such as Fire TV and Fire Tablet. The Coins program, Amazon’s virtual currency for some Appstore apps and in-app purchases, will also end on the same day. Starting today, Coins will no longer be available for purchase.
The Appstore was Amazon’s attempt to get in on the Android app distribution game. Third-party app stores have been a hot topic for the business world in recent years, with walled garden owners insisting that all is fair while companies trying to get a piece of the action for themselves insist that it is not. The US government has had a mixed response to the issue, while regions such as the EU have taken more decisive steps to increase competition.
