After 15+ years, we've made a big change: Android Forums is now Early Bird Club. Learn more here.
Free paid apps :-) (NOT PIRATED - WE SUPPORT DEVELOPERS)
I've changed my mind. I've just found out Amazon AppStore has a very serious problem: its apps are outdated. Amazon AppStore rarely if ever updates its app.
Too many apps on Amazon AppStore are outdated and rarely receive updates like Android Market frequently does. I have stopped buying apps from Amazon unless the apps are cheaper than in Android Market. I only use Amazon AppStore for one reason: to grab the daily freebies. I recommend you do the same until Amazon decides to keep their apps up-to-date.

Yeah, it's a pain in the a$$. And, when they do get an update I have to jump on the Android Market to read what the update is. I don't like to blindly update my apps without knowing what has been changed and seeing if anyone has reported any problems. I buy a lot of things from Amazon but, when it comes to apps 'if it ain't free, it ain't for me!'
I've bought two apps (Battery Widget Pro and Battleheart) and two license keys (CamScanner and JuiceDefender Ultimate) from Amazon.
The Amazon version of Battery Widget Pro, 1.17, is outdated; Android Market has had version 1.18 since August, and Amazon has not updated it since July.
Amazon's versions of CamScanner and JuiceDefender are also outdated. Those are popular apps, and Amazon has not uploaded the current versions for them for over a month. Fortunately, the license keys purchased from Amazon can also unlock the apps downloaded from work for the Android Market, and I can update the apps from Android Market.
Anyhow, I found out this serious problem with Amazon AppStore last week. Fortunately I have not bought too many apps from Amazon, so my damage is not serious. I am certainly not buying any more apps from Amazon AppStore. I am done with buying apps from Amazon. Seems to me that Amazon AppStore is good for only one thing: getting free apps.

that update has been out about 3 days or so, but now anything over 20mb, you have to use wifi to download them.

There was one three or for days ago that changed the ui. There was a new update this morning but i haven't checked it out yet.

That is strange. I don't know why it would only require wifi. Maybe they will update it again to fix this issue. Very strange.

funny thing is you need wifi to download anything over 20mb and if you dont have wifi just uninstall the update and than you can download it, but i rarely use my wifi on this phone cause my4g speeds are high...
