Amazon Appstore app downloads increased 500% year-on-year


December 7, 2012, noon news, Amazon announced on Thursday that the company's Appstore application downloads increased by 500% year-on-year.

The growth is not surprising, given the reach of Amazon's Appstore, which is part of the Kindle ecosystem but also available to other Android users. However, the US technology blog GigaOM points out that most downloads still come from Kindle tablets.

In addition to this amazing growth, Amazon also announced that the number of games on the Kindle Fire platform has doubled since the release of Kindle Fire HD. Developers are downloading SDKs (software development kits) at twice the rate of the same period last year. However, since these data were disclosed in passing when Amazon released its latest A/B Testing service, they did not attract widespread attention.

In order to attract more application developers, Amazon also provides some new features. Including GameCircle, which can add achievements and leaderboards, and the latest function of adding friends. The new map API (application programming interface) will also be more interactive than the existing functions. Localization support can help developers set corresponding prices and language options for different regions. The A/B Testing service mentioned above can also help developers understand the user preferences and needs of the Amazon Appstore and Kindle ecosystem, because the differences between such users and regular Android users may become more and more obvious.
