Amazon is shutting down its Android app store next week


The company is waving goodbye to Android.

While Amazon's version was viewed as a decent alternative for users looking for apps that the Google Play Store didn't carry, we'll still have to bid farewell to it next week on August 20. So, it's likely Android users will need to either drop those apps once the issues start popping up or find alternative options on the Google Play Store. The company said in February that this move was a shift to focusing more on improving its app store experience for its own devices, rather than looping Android into the mix, too.
