Amazon to End Android Appstore Support by August 2025

The app store will remain functional on Fire TV and Fire Tablets, but Amazon Coins will also be discontinued with refunds promised for unused balances.

  • Amazon announced it will discontinue support for its Android Appstore on August 20, 2025, citing a focus on its own devices like Fire TV and Fire Tablets.
  • The decision means Android users will no longer be able to download or use apps from the Amazon Appstore after the deadline.
  • Amazon will also phase out its Coins digital currency, halting new purchases immediately and promising refunds for unused balances after August 20.
  • The Appstore will remain operational on Amazon's Fire OS-based devices, where it serves as the default app marketplace.
  • This move follows Amazon's recent discontinuation of its Appstore on Windows, reflecting its struggle to compete with Google's Play Store dominance.
