Any updates on Wiim app being made available on the Amazon App Store?

[rcbrown316]

I am considering trading in an older Fire Tablet to take advantage of a 20% discount on a new one. I've spent several hours reading up on it on Google and this support page. It looks like as of now the app is not available through the Amazon app store but Wiim may be working on it. I have also seen that it can be downloaded to the Amazon tablet after installing Google Play store. The problem is that Amazon makes it very clear on their tablet pages that play store is not supported on new fire tablets so I am back to hoping wiim is able to get it into the Amazon app store as a supported application.

Should I hold off?

Hi,

In my opinion, that is not expected at all.
Please submit a ticket via the feedback section of the WiiM app and ask.

Can't you use a Android tablet?

The last I heard is Amazon apps store for Android apps is being closed on August 20. I don't know how this impacts apps on Fire, but my understanding is that Amazon is working toward diverging their operating system (and Fire tablets) away from the Android ecosystem. I seriously doubt there will be enough incentive for most developers to write apps that only work on Fire tablets.

Is Amazon completely giving up on Android?
