    They all seem to be free on the link you provided but when I go to install via the Amazon app store they all show up at full price.
    Maybe the promotion hasn't started yet
    Anyone else try?

    They're there alright.

    When you open the app store, swipe the 'today's free app of the day' to the left, and you'll see 'up to £100 free of paid ups free'

    Nice find OP


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,234 ✭✭✭Fresh Pots


    Thanks op. Downloaded plex no problem. Clicked get app in the browser, then in the app I went to menu-my apps-cloud, clicked refresh and plex appears.

    You need to install the Amazon App Store first.

    Have a weather station?, why not join the Ireland Weather Network - http://irelandweather.eu/

    I'm gutted. All the good apps, I've already bought.

    Thanks all the same, OP.




  • I know they're all free but I cherry picked anyway:

    Office Suite Pro
    Sonic the Hedgehog 2
    Plex
    Ravensword
    Pho.to Lab
    AccuWeather Platinum
    Business Calendar
    Root Explorer

    Think I got the best of 'em!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,631 ✭✭✭mrsoundie


    Thanks for the heads up and the young fella just got a new phone, so he is happy out. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 649 ✭✭✭Steviemoyne


    Grabbed Plex and Sonic along with a few others. I feel like I'm 5 again playing Sonic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,582 ✭✭✭marcbrophy


    Thanks OP, some nice apps there all the same :)

    I'm not using a Kindle, just an Android tablet. It says on the link in the op that it's free but when I swipe on the $100 free apps it doesn't appear, and when I go into Appstore it's €18.44.




  • Did you ever have a Kindle before and might have registered it as being in America?

    Never owned or used a Kindle, why would that matter?

    its just what amazon recognised as your android device. its a flaw, it was the only way to have the amazon app store on your phone. just change your settings to a uk address for the £100 free apps and you will be grand. get whatever app you wish and it is stored in your cloud, then go to the cloud and install them. Each day nearly I get the free apps so if ever I need them installed I can just grab them


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,355 ✭✭✭cruhoortwunk


    Wahoo lots more apps I will never use

    I was able to get some of the other apps, just not Office Suite.

    That link brings me to the link to download Office alright but when I click "get this app" it just brings me to a download page for Appstore which I already have. When I swipe on $100 free apps, most of the apps mentioned in the op are there but not Office. I have an Android phone, I'll try that and see what happens.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,900 ✭✭✭daytob


    have you checked which country you have a registered account with in amazon?
    Also the link i said works can be installed from your pc. did you try it that way?

    Curiouser and curiouser, downloaded and installed no problem on another Android tablet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,922 ✭✭✭Marhay70


    OK' solved. It appears my tablet wasn't appearing in the list of Android devices. Why this should have made a difference or why it allowed me to download other apps is beyond me but once I synced it everything magically appeared.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,372 ✭✭✭✭dulpit


    My phone is in the repair shop, am stuck with a Windows Phone. Is there a way I can buy now and download next week when phone comes back?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,383 ✭✭✭peckerhead


    Of course not. It's your punishment for going over to the dark side.

    ;)

    As mentioned earlier, just "purchase" them and leave them in the cloud until you can sign in on an Android device.

    Sweet Jesus if anyone actively chose to switch to Win Phone I'd be surprised. Awful... I miss my HTC One...

    yep as said up there, log in to amazon on your pc. and purchase them that way, they will be in the cloud and then when you get it back you will have them there.
    MacGyver is there as 2days free app of the day ;)

    Yeah, sign in via the link in the OP with your computermabob and 'buy' all you want. You will then own the apps, and can install to whatever android devices you want.

    Edit........ What Daytob said.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,372 ✭✭✭✭dulpit


    Cheers. Ended up taking Sonic only, nothing else looks interesting...

    Use the search function at the top of the Amazon app to find those apps listed here that are not showing within the Amazon app.

    Also, you'll then see a full list of all FREE apps too.

    Hmm anyone else not able to open the app once it's installed? Says network error and try again but won't let me in even though the internet is perfect. Maybe it's the servers are too busy or something..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,229 ✭✭✭ffocused


    Anyone with small kids should get Puzzingo, my 2 kids have been using it on ios & android for last 2 years & still keep using it. Educational & fun.
    I really cannot recommend this app highly enough even at full price of over €10


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 210 ✭✭Mistmyr


    Thx for this.

    Got a few but plex was my main one. Now I can cast onto my chromecast with it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 93 ✭✭colcatscar


    Woo Hoo. Loadsa new apps downloaded but in reality i will only use a couple of them. Thanks OP.

    Same with me. I've my Irish, UK (Parcel Motel), and US (random) addresses, and it still won't work. Even tried making PM the default 1 click and associating a card with it, but still nothing.

    Is that through the app or thev website I couldn't buy through the app so bought through the website instead.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,280 ✭✭✭RobertFoster


    The website.

    Click to buy them all, you don't have to install them on you device, but you might in the future :)

    Thanks Op


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators, Regional Midwest Moderators Posts: 24,028 Mod ✭✭✭✭Clareman


    I've never had a problem with buying from the Amazon store, I think my Parcel Motel address is my default one though on there


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,817 ✭✭✭✭Charlie19
