What happened to Amazons app store? All kids stuff now - Nexus 7 Themes and Apps

The free app of the day used to vary between games and useful apps, now its always kids games and all the things on the main screen are little kid games, is there a new setting im unaware of or do they just suck holy hell now, im ready to un install the pos!

i feel exactly the same way. Unfortunately i cannot uninstall it because the apps i got from amazon do a license check with amazon and will not work without it installed. Ugh

I count on 1 "good" app per month from Amazon... and even at that hate getting it since they are always 1-3 updates behind. Actually got Xscope free, but bought on Play store to get newer version.

Lol thought it was just me, it used to be good now its freeking candyland junk

Yeah I used some of the play credit to buy the printer app from play. I do miss plants vs zombies, but first world problems I know

It makes sense for them to feature those apps right now. Given the proximity to a kid-centric holiday and that their target demographic is Kindle Fire toting soccer moms, they're going to put apps like that front and center right now. Same can be expected for Christmas.

I dunno if the free apps differ by region, but here in the UK Jamie's 20 minute meals was free yesterday, Jelly defense before that (currently in play store for £2.45) and thumb keyboard was also free recently. It's still worthwhile checking everyday.

Yup, it's mostly rubbish, but still worth checking; I find a few a month I want, here in the UK.

I think it needs to get slower and more non responsive when trying to install apps from your library! Then it won't matter what apps are free .

I was trying to be sarcastic. The app is terrible on my devices (Galaxy nexus and nexus 7). I have a hundred or so apps on the 'cloud' from Amazon. Browsing the list and trying to install them is like pulling teeth. It's slow and not responsive. Button presses offer no feedback and seem nonfunctional most of the time. Is it not like that for everyone else?

+1 laggiest apply in a long while.

Amazon free apps have been crappy. I still take a minute out of the day to check it just in case. Every once in a while, something good comes around. Audubon birds was a big score for me a few months ago.
I do wish you could "purchase" without having to download, even though install is optional, still uses space.
It's been laggy for me too, especially when trying to delete apps off the list. Accidentally discovered that feature a couple nights ago.

Any good toddler learning apps on android?

I been searching for.some time now for any educational apps for my 18 months son with little luck.
Most apps are geared towards older children,not to mention not too many have child lock on them to prevent children from hitting capacitive buttons.Seem like all good children's apps or on ipad/iPhone and I won't to avoid this option if I can help it.
Anyone know of any good apps?
Here are few apps that I have so far that are usefull and not too complicated for children that are 1-3 years old.
1 Toddle Animal Numbers (Probably the best one,its educational and its free)
2 Undersea Adventure for Toddler (Not really educational but a fun and simple game,and its free)
3 Kids Doodle Paint (Best thing about this is that it has child's lock built in,so you can go to sleep while they draw and not have to worry about them turning it off,this one is free too)
And that's about it,yeah I know that's a damn shame.Rest that I tried is to complex.

Apps by intellijoy.
Also, there are lots of interactive books by people like "Oceanhouse media" (the book reads and the child interacts with the page.)
This is a good thread, I have an app called "kid mode" that has a lot of stuff in it, my 18 mo old daughter likes it.

They are toddlers...
They can take your iPad, S3 or whatever you have before you blink. So its better find them with the phone in theirs hands than see your gadgets on the toilet or trash can because they got bored.
Thats why also I have a Otter Defender.

If I had kids I would. Getting them a grasp of new things at an early age is important and most useful for the future. Smartphones are only materialistic items so I wouldn't care really unless they're looking at things they aren't supposed too.

Here are the apps that my 3 year old plays with and has played with for a long time (probably since he was 18 mo.)
Monkey Preschool Lunchbox (His absolute FAVORITE!)
Color & Draw for kids phone ed
Kids Connect the Dots Lite
Thomas Game Pack
Kids Piano Lite
Zebra Paint
SUPER WHY!
And here is the toddler lock I used to use before he really knew how to handle a phone.
Toddler Lock
When my daughter was 18 months old she liked learning animal sounds, She particularly liked the cat on this one Toddler Animal Sounds by Bluphant Games, They also do a paid for version which has a child lock built in it.
Now she's 3 however it's Peppa Pig all the way!

I beat normal lol focus on transmission and do t worry about lethality till it spreads everywhere then crank it up and watch em go lol
O.k this is kinda cool, fun to play when you're in a destructive mood! Only played 3 times lost twice on normal but wiped out the world in 540 days on casual
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Have it on iOS but on the iPod it was just too hard to play. Nexus is perfect size.
The trick on the first level is devolve symptoms immediately when they mutate until the entire planet is infected. Store up as much DNA as you can so you can become lethal as soon as you decide to pull the trigger. I had 124 DNA points when I decided to start killing everyone.
Game is superb fun. Great music too.
I've bought a few in-game purchased to help me along, the best one is to auto-pop the bubbles. I've been able to decimate the globe on casual after only playing it about 5 times, I just can't beat it on normal. Its either that I make it too lethal before it spreads everywhere or I make it spread everywhere and kill half to 3/4 of the population but then they cure it.
The game also annihilates my battery, I'm running Clemson's elite kernel and when I have the game fast-forwarded it takes up so much power that even when I have it plugged in it won't charge the battery but just sustain the current level and maybe decrease it by one or two percent!

Ordering my Nexus 4, giving up my beloved DINC2...

OK, so I've up and decided to go ahead and purchase a Nexus 4 from Google Play, I mean at $300 unlocked who wouldn't. I also happen to be off contract now with Big Red and nows the time to be getting while the getting's good.
If anyone would like to purchase a red Dinc2 simply PM me an offer. It only has slight wear and the only problem it has is the volume up doesn't work. Everything else is great, I'll even wipe and include the 8GB card in it.
I'll will still remain an avid member of the Dinc2 community because of the members and Dev's.
One other note, i won't be able to give up my Dinc2 until I get my Nexus 4, which will take 2-3 weeks it seems.

I just picked up a Note 2 on Verizon and am blown away! Phones got a whole lot better since I got my Dinc 2.
Now if I can only fend off my rooting obsession...
I got rid of my DINC2 and went with a Windows 8 phone. While I miss my Sirius XM app and the ability to tether for free, I'm quite pleased with the Nokia 822 on VZ. The lack of some apps is really the only negative I've seen so far. The phone is really snappy and clean. I'm happy with my switch, but will miss messing around with Roms and adb etc...

It has some ESPN, My Verizon, and Univision apps pre-installed along with some very good Nokia apps like Nokia music and Nokia Navigation. The good thing is that the bloat is able to be uninstalled right out of the box, no rooting required. Some core apps are uninstallable but that is expected... Overall, I'm very pleased with my Windows Phone 8.

Anyone have insight on when this may get resolved? Should I go back to 4.2.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
It will be resolved when app develops resolve it.

Considering that the OS has been around for a bit over a week I'm amazed at how many apps ARE compatible.
If you have mission critical stuff, by all means go back to or stay with 4.2.x until the specific developer updates.
Otherwise enjoy the new OS and be patient. The good Devs are on it...

Well worth it being without a few apps for awhile.
This is the price we pay for being the very first to get these updates. I don't mind it myself but for those that are bothered just wait for a free weeks before upgrading next time to give the app devs time to catch up.
Food anyone have the amazon store.apk? Not the app store but the app for the regular store. I think it will work but play store won't let me download.
