There's a few reasons people should use their store:
1) devs can set apps as free and there's almost always some decent stuff available for free / completely free, this is something google actively prevents by forcing free to be a permanent price change
2) you can buy 'coins' to spend on/in apps + games implementing amazon's services also give you coins back when you purchase which can give you a 20 - 30% discount all the time, this is especially great for all the expensive little kids games I get for my daughter
3) as a developer we've done over $70k in sales this year on the amazon store
The only thing it sucks at is being the only store on amazon's devices.
- duiker101 12y agothe 70k number is interesting, would it be possible for you to give a rough value in comparison to the Play Store?
- benologist 12y agoAmazon is much, much smaller (just 10s of millions of us+uk people I think) but keyword optimization alone can get you started whereas play is much harder to get any traffic on, especially for free.
- VieElm 12y ago> The only thing it sucks at is being the only store on amazon's devices. It's not the only store on Amazon devices. You can download and install a bunch of different app stores on any Amazon device. I have Humble Bundle installed on my Kindle Fire and you can install apps from Opera's app store as well via the website. People just don't know about these stores. That's not the same thing as being "the only store".
