Finally!!!!
EDIT: My gosh, it already has 250,000 downloads...
Yeah, but are we talking ad free version or is it the same version? And why are we hating on the Amazon market? Do we not like daily free apps now? I'm quite a fan of not only finally getting my ad free angry birds... getting it free definitely helped. Free swift key keyboard was just gravy.
That, plus the fact that it actually keeps track of apps between wipes makes it pretty great IMO.

Amazon Market is DRM'd - can't pull the APK and use it anywhere. And, it's ad-free... With Adfree Android or on SRF.
so it has ads?
bah, sticking with amazon version.

Yes I love the fact it keeps track of the apps I've downloaded, free or purchased.

And yes, this is a big plus 1. DRM'ed Amazon is getting on my nerves....
I like Amazon, but I don't want to have to put in my Credit Card just to get free apps.

This is less of a problem when you're already an Amazon customer. Amazon Student (free Prime) FTW.

The Amazon market doesn't update apps, does it? I mean, will it notify you of updates? I have an Amazon account with Student Prime but I had no idea I could link them together...haha
EDIT: I'm dumb, I was using the wrong Amazon account.

For sure! Prime is definitively a beast. $4 over night shipping is a win in my books.
It was free on DAY 1! Where have you all been?

Except when it's per-item and you're buying a bunch of small things. Still, two-day for free isn't shabby(penguin ) at all.

Complaining about DRM in this fashion is ridiculous.
DRM music is crappy because it can prevent you from listening to your music. DRM games are crappy because developers have yet to figure that out so people get locked out of their game (see Assassin's Creed II). But DRM apps?
So, I don't plan to share my paid apps with the public (apps are cheap and if you share app warez, you're literally stealing from someone). DRM doesn't matter. I use the Amazon App market (free, legit paid apps and tracking of all app downloads? Yes please). DRM doesn't matter. Amazon is reliable and isn't going anywhere anytime soon. DRM does not matter. Ultimately, in this scenario, DRM is entirely beneficial. It literally protects the developer's interest while still being nonintrusive.
As a side note, ads have never bothered me. They're mostly nonintrusive and help pay your developers. Removing ads is another way to shaft the people who work hard to provide you with the content you love.
That said, Angry Birds Rio is the best they've done yet. Can't wait for the rest of the levels.
Lets post all the free amazon apps of the day starting with back breaker football. Does anyone have the apk for this

Amazon requires you have their market downloaded and running in the background for Amazon apps to work. We can't post the APKs, as they wont work.
Today's app is PicSay Pro. I have to say I've been very surprised by the quality apps Amazon has been giving away on app of the day. If the idea is to get users to look at their market every day, it's definitely working on me.

1. Since it's no longer free, it's now warez, and that's bad in XDA.
2. It's really a crappy game, you just run up the field and dodge increasing amounts of defenders to score touchdowns. While this seems fun, the controls are far from it. You steer your player like a car using the accelerometers, and not with a dpad. You run by rubbing up and down on a line on the side of the screen. Doing both of these at the same time _does not work_.
I grabbed it, tried it, and deleted it. If there was a way to gift games, I would give it to you.

yeah, AND you have to enable one click purchasing on Amazon too. it's a way for them to get accidental sales.
Not to bad
The free apps haven't been to bad so far that I've seen.
Starting with Angry Birds Rio.
I've gotten Fruit Ninja, Flight Control and Talking Tom, and as someone mentions today's Picsay Pro which is fun.
Airport mania was free Yesterday also, that was a good pickup. I agree, we can't post them that'd be out of line. But you have to pay attention from now on.

I for one like the 1 click purchasing. The last thing i want to do on my phone is go through a whole checkout process for a 99 cent app.
They do the same for Kindle books... this is nothing new.
I like the Amazon app store. I like to take advantage of the free apps that they have each day. anyone know how much longer that will go on?

I imagine that it will continue until it stops.
Sorry, I'm in a silly mood.
I have them all, including the free paid apps that weren't advertised.

I don't think they really care about the occasional accidental $0.99 sale. They're doing it to get you used to and comfortable with the idea of going to Amazon to get apps, and they want to make sure that if/when you do reach that point and start to actually buy apps from them, that it is trivially easy for you. You're more likely to do all the work of entering and setting everything up when you're getting something for free. If you had to set everything up and go through all the checkout nonsense for a single $0.99 app, you'd probably just say screw it and buy through the regular google android market.
I think it's a decent idea. They give away free music using the same theory, but I think the free apps they've been giving away are much, much better than the free songs you can get from them.

Amazon has a *really* good calendar app for free today. It's normally around $5. It's called "Business Calendar". Has a great widget as well.
Just thought I'd mention it.

+1. I just got this today and it really handles my calendars better than anything else I've tried.
And I have to admit that the Amazon appstore is really growing on me. If I have multiple devices, will they all have access to the apps I've gotten through the appstore?

Amazon wants this appstore to be like the kindle. they want this appstore on as many devices as possible. it would make much sense if your apps were tied to only device.
I think their app store is great. I didn't understand the peple that post in other thread they would not use the amazon app store because they didn't want to fragment the android app market? The way I look at they give me a free app and if I. Buy a paid app I buy it from them as thanks for for the free apps to support them. I just think that's fair.
If you would like to download apps from the Amazon Market outside the US you need a Credit Card Number.
Paypal offers some CC-numbers for free: xxx.paypalobjects.com/en_US/vhelp/paypalmanager_help/credit_card_numbers.htm
use www instead of xxx!
Add one Number with an US-Adress to your Amazon Account and enjoy
This works also for the free app of the day!
I am using one of these "test credit card numbers" with my kindle fire in Austria and I can download free apps and the "free app of the day"!
Okay guys.
Thread cleaned, nothing wrong with it,and its completely safe.
Its a well known solution, its just not working always. But its not against rules
Thank you all

did you change your address to USA?
Use hotspot shield to set up or log into your usa account.
Use US address and the previous links usa card info, make this card your default one click purchase.
It works.
Worked for me, too.
Just choosing one of my US previous delivery addresses as the billing address for one of the fake numbers of the first post, and setting this "new" card as the default for one-click did the trick for me.
Only thing that still doesn't work are the movies. I am a Prime subscriber and would *love* to use my free video library. I guess that requires a VPN, isn't it?
Best.
Felipe.
Worked for me!!!
Awesome Thanks a lot
Felipe, Yeah You need VPN...It won't work with US credit card & Address
I had seen this before but was scared off by warnings of Amazon zapping my account. Lack of those warnings here made me give it a go (totally illogical I know) and it worked perfectly.
Hi, 15 free apps today on the amazon appstore. Saw it on the website, not sure if it will show up on device or not. Good for if you missed some of them.
Can you please post a link or a screenshot? I searched all over the Amazon App Store and couldn't find this.

Here's a link. The trick to finding was to click the "Free App of the Day Greatest Hits" banner that appears in the upper right corner of the usual free app page.

That worked, thanks. Unfortunately, I had already gotten the ones I wanted the first time around.
What a shame you can't get access to these outside the US. I would have liked Splashtop.
I just saw a book that's currently free and thought it might be of interest to some of you. It's called "Top Free Kindle Fire Word, Card, Logic, And Board Game Apps" and it's available from Amazon.

The Book you are referring to, is it:

This looks like a nice book, we'll have to take a peek at it. Thank you for sharing the information.

Krsmqn,
The day this was posted the book was free, we checked it out too and downloaded a Free copy. They probably decided to charge everyone since we posted free advertising for Amazon! Maybe, naaa, Amzon would never do something like that, would they?
