(Many AT&T devices do not, yet.) You can try to custom mod your phone to enable sideloading – such as how Locutus mentioned you can do with SuperOneClick or you can suck on your thumb until sideloading is enabled on your device or until you grab a new device.Īfter you have enabled sideloading, all you have to do is download and install Amazon Appstore (use a file manager to install Amazon Appstore after you have downloaded it) login to your Amazon account and get tapping:Įach day a new app will appear in the same spot you see Airport Mania 2: Wild Trips in the screenshot above. If you do not see an Unknown sources option under Applications, your device may not allow for sideloading. Don’t come whining here about how your device died after you sideloaded an app. Once you sideload an app, enabling/disabling sideloading won’t affect the installed app.) You are the sole responsible party for your actions. (You can enable/disable sideloading as you please. In fact, I keep sideloading disabled on my phone until I specifically want to install an app from non-Market sources, like Amazon Appstore and I suggest you do the same.
(Especially don’t pirate apps.) Only sideload apps you get from trustworthy sources, like Amazon Appstore. The warning message looks important because it is important: Do not sideload any and all apps you find. This warning message is basically telling you to be careful what apps you sideload onto your device. Once you check the checkbox for Unknown sources you will get a warning message similar to the following: On most devices you can enable sideloading by going to Settings -> Applications -> check Unknown sources:

What is sideloading? Sideloading is installing apps that are not from Android Market. Lastly, in order to install Amazon Appstore and to install apps from Amazon Appstore you need to enable sideloading on your device. You are the sole responsible party for your actions.) I am just telling you about my personal experience. (Note: I am not encouraging anyone to commit fraud. So if you don’t have a real credit card, you could try entering a fake one for the purposes of getting free apps from Free App of the Day but your mileage will vary. I just didn’t trust a child with my credit card or my Amazon account.) Recently, though, I got an error when trying to repeat the whole fake-credit-card-and-address routine. Interestingly enough, in the past I was able to enter a completely fake credit card and address and setup 1-click settings. So to get free apps from Free App of the Day you must have a valid credit card (and address) otherwise you won’t be able to setup 1-click settings and therefore won’t be able to get free apps.
(You will have to setup 1-click settings if you have not already.) Apps from Free App of the Day are processed just like you have purchased them, with the only difference being you don’t actually pay anything. Apps purchased through Amazon Appstore are processed using your Amazon account’s 1-click settings. Thirdly, you must have a valid credit card. So if you are outside the USA, your mileage will vary don’t get your hopes up. I say “officially” because I have been successful at installing Amazon Appstore on devices that are not in the USA but that may be because I attached the devices to my Amazon account which has a USA address attached to it. Secondly, officially Amazon Appstore is only available in the USA. Pretty cool, huh?īefore you start wetting your pants from the excitement, let me state not everyone is eligible to participate in Amazon Appstore’s Free App of the Day.įirstly, you need an Amazon account. Once you get an app from Free App of the Day, it is like you own it: You can install/reinstall it whenever you want, you can install it on all Android devices you have connected to your Amazon account (you can install Amazon Appstore on multiple different devices, all connected to the same Amazon account), and you get free updates (updates available from Amazon Appstore - not Android Marketplace). Each app is given away for 24-hours and you must grab it during this time frame. To entice users to use Amazon Appstore, Amazon gives away a paid app for free every day. One of the Amazon’s latest ventures is launching an app store on Android, cleverly named Amazon Appstore. ^ Image credit: Quinn.anya Amazon Appstore Free App of the DayĪmazon may have started as a loss-making online bookstore but over the years it has expanded into many different industries. One of your rewards for choosing Android is being able to – legally – grab paid apps… for $0. However, as fun as free apps are, wouldn’t it be even better if you could (legally) grab paid apps for free (even if the paid apps may not be any more useful than their free counterparts)? Yeah, I thought so. You made the (wise) choice of getting a ‘droid and have been roaming dotTech’s Best Free Android Apps repository to sustain your appetite for free apps.
