I tried and I really wanted to like it - but while I could easily replace Gmail with Outlook (or use the AOSP mail app), replacing Play Store with Amazon Appstore provided a very sub-par experience, and using apkmirror almost felt like piracy.
- rchaud 7y agoI think this would be less of a concern since this service is really only of interest to people who specifically want to avoid Google Play Services in general. The Amazon app store presents the same kind of privacy challenges, only just not as deeply integrated with the phone. I'm slowly moving my current Android phone to a mix of web-based apps (Uber PWA is good) and native apps released via F-Droid.
