Amazon Appstore

Don’t have any apps or games on the Amazon Appstore? If you have an Android app or game, you may be able to publish it for free without needing to make any changes. Eighty-five percent of Android apps are already compatible with the Appstore platform and don’t require any additional development work. There is no cost to you to publish on the Appstore, and you can earn 70% commission on all monetization features that are embedded in your app.

App Testing Service (ATS) is our drag-and-drop testing tool that provides real-time test results to see if your Android apps and games are compatible with our Appstore. You can use the ATS tool without registering for an account. If you decide to publish, all you need to do is register for a free developer account and follow our app submission process.
