Amazon's urgent and final refund alert: How to check if you still have unused Amazon coins

Amazon has announced the closure of its Appstore for Android devices, effective August 20, 2025, marking the end of a 14-year endeavor to compete with Google Play. Amazon Appstore was launched in the year 2011 and offered an alternative marketplace for Android users, featuring apps, games and its digital currency, known as Amazon coins.

While the Appstore will continue to operate on Amazon’s Fire tablets and Fire TV devices, its discontinuation on third-party Android devices has significant implications for users and developers. This comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know about the shutdown, including refund processes, user actions, and what the future holds for Amazon’s app ecosystem.

But by Wednesday it will be no more on Android devices. It will continue to exist on Amazon Fire TVs and Amazon Fire tablets, where it's the main app store available.
