Daily Free App @ Amazon v1.5

(★★★ Europe, Japan & China are supported ★★★)​

Introduction

Amazon Android Appstore offers a paid app for free every day.

Users in the US can check the Amazon Appstore for Android to see the Free app of the Day, and be able to install it remotely via the website. Few Android developers wrote apps to check that website and remind and notify the users of the free app.

While users outside the US (Europe & Japan) recently got the Amazon Android Appstore service, but it is only supported on the device itself, and the only way to check the Free App of the day and install it is to open the official Amazon Appstore app on the device. There was no way to have this information if not with the official Amazon app, well, not until now... this app DOES SUPPORT all Amazon Appstores, including all those in Europe and Japan, as far as I know this is the First app that does this !!!

Details

This app will show you the daily free app in all the supported countries (listed below), you do not even need to have the Amazon Appstore installed on the device to be able to check and receive the notification (in case you get notified on a device, and want to install on another).

When you start the App, it will fetch the name of the Free app of the day in the selected country (From the settings menu), and it provides a button to Open the Amazon Appstore (if it is installed), or to open the Amazon page for that app.

I wrote this app mainly to be able to check the European Amazon Appstore (Italian Store), but during development I found that I can add support for all official Amazon stores supported by the Amazon Appstore itself, which are:

USA

Canada

Italy

France

Germany

Spain

United Kingdom

Japan

China

Help needed

Currently the app UI is available in English, Italian, German and French (French is experimental), I need help translating the app in at least the main languages of the different stores (French, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese), if there are any volunteers, please contact me.

Download

I attached the apk of the app, give it a try, and report bugs

You can also install it from the Google Play Store
