Title: Amazon App Store Oddity: Missing Apps??
Post by: ghawkz on March 12, 2012, 05:21:47 PM

I tried to get the WordPress app - if I go to the Amazon website I can find it there but it's not found in the app and I can't download it - even from the Amazon website. Is this something unique to the Airpad XL?

On the right side of the Amazon site does it have a green check or a red X next to your device when you select the app?
Not all apps appear to be compatible with the Airpad as shipped.

Yep, that was it - on the Amazon site, it showed that the WP app is not compatible with my XL (though I was able to find an APK file and install it just fine). Thanks

Not that I am aware of a problem, rather just a cautious person and would question using a program that might tie to monetary transactions when that program ( apk)  was not referred to by Amazon and you already have an Amazon account with a bank account attached. Are you sure they did not set up a "proxy" transaction?  Maybe I'm thinking too much into this.... but there are people that consider it a full time job to find ways to get your account (money).

deholla,
Not sure what you are referencing but the WP app is a free APK. I didn't pay anything.
