It seems that Google doesn't like to be competed through their own services And the fact is that the recent history with the internet shopping giant Amazon demonstrates this. A point that has led to make the Amazon shopping application disappear from the Google Play Store due to certain interested inconveniences that has resulted in a less useful application for platform users Android
The case began last September, when Amazon updated its application with the intention of integrating its service Instant Video to distribute all kinds of audiovisual content. What it did not announce with much fanfare is that, in addition to the usual product categories, the new version of the app included the contents from its own app store Most likely with the ulterior motive that Google not take some kind of retaliation. However, on September 25, Google changed the policies for developers who publish their content on Google Play StoreChanges that directly affected the renewed Amazon application Coincidence?
The thing is that Google does not allow you to insert repositories or app stores inside your own since you updated your usage policies.Something that the new Amazon app did directly. A complete comfort for users, who no longer had to access through their exclusive Amazon application, which can be downloaded only through their website. Thus, they could access the offers of applications and games directly from the updated application. Now, Google has decided to force the removal of said application from its digital content store.
This is why even if you search for the Amazon app in the Google Play Store, it does not appear in the results. A story that Amazon itself has confirmed, highlighting the change of decision of Google that has forced the removal of the updated application. Of course, remember that this tool to buy through your Internet store, whether physical products or applications and games, is still available for download through their website
Meanwhile, and to avoid losing users on the platform Android, they have published a new application on Google Play It is a version exactly the same as the previous one that did not include the mobile content repository That is, a tool to search and buy products on a regular basis, but only tangible products. Outside is the selection of games and applications from Amazon
With all this, and summarizing to clarify, Amazon Shopping is the new application of the company Amazon to buy physical products over the Internet. A free application that is present on Google Play Meanwhile, the old application known only as Amazon has disappeared forever from the store Google, although it is possible to download it completely free through the page Amazon websiteIn this case, the application has direct links to buy and download applications and games from the virtual store of Amazon
