Amazon Underground app store being shut down :(

[NotTayyeb]

Amazon Underground was great... Free android apps without getting dodgy apk files...... But that's no more now

 

Android Authority: Amazon is shutting down its Underground Actually Free Android app program. http://google.com/newsstand/s/CBIwtMzV7TQ

you read it wrong! so wrong ....

what Amazon is shutting down is the "Actually Free" program, previously known as "Free app of the day"

 

Underground app isn't going anywhere

That's why you shouldn't post as soon as you wake up...... But still - did anyone use the underground app for anything other than the actually free apps?

They might as well be shutting it down, as that was the only reason to get your apps from their instead of the Play Store (unless it was a Fire device).

nope 

what pisses me is that apps from the Amazon app-store need to be "recertified" - basically you need to open the Underground app once in a while to verify the installed apps licences, remembers me of Denuvo
