So, I noticed when I go to the ALL part of the Play store, it shows pretty much every single app I have EVER downloaded. Is there a way to permanently remove apps you really don't want in that list anymore?
Per Google Play Store:

Thanks. Not the answer I was hoping for. LOL
I was looking to buy AVIA media player for using with my chromecast. Since, I had a few credits left in amazon app store that i can use for in-app $3 purchase, i was thinking of getting avia from amazon app store.
But........
Current Version of avia at amazon appstore: 7.0.27433
Current Version of avia at goggle play store: 7.0.27477 (updated on dec 26th)
So had a few queries...
Is avia's app on amazon meant more for kindle fire tablets and hence not suitable for android tablets? Or is it just outdated version available on amazon?

I purchased avia from Amazon and it works perfectly on my Asus T700 and Samsung phone

It works the same (have it on both G2 and Note 10.1 tablet), just the Amazon store version gets updated behind the Playstore version. I have Avia from amazon appstore and it still has issues...

Yes, generally speaking apps on Amazon App Store get updates later than Google Play. I don't know if Amazon has a slower approval process or what, but it has been the case for a number of apps I've looked at.
So, Google Play is my preferred app store, especially since the local Costco is selling 3-packs of $20 Google Play cards for $54 or $55.
However, if your device that doesn't have access to Google Play, or you can't get a Google Wallet, then your options are limited.
...and I love Amazon's free app of the day.
Functionality-wise, as SKyRocKeting727 said, they are meant to be the same. I have the Amazon Avia installed on my daughter's tablet as it doesn't have Play Store yet.
Amazon is giving $5 credit to be used in app store. So you can get Avia or Plex for free. This promotion ends tomorrow. The credit will be available until March, 2014.

Note that in addition to using the newest App Store version, you need to download an app that is not already in your account. Uninstalling something you already have and downloading it again does NOT count.
You should see a pop-up in the App Store that tells you that you qualified for the $5 credit.

Sorry for continuing off topic but I just tried this in the UK and what was my prize? A whole £1 credit to spend on an Amazon MP3. Bah I can't even remember the last time I used an MP3. Clearly a US only offer FYI.

Yes, it needs to be a new addition to your account, added from the most-current (7.5x) App Store version. Updates and reinstalls do not qualify.
Thanks!

I put a free app in my cart and the five bucks showed up....thanks!
I actually have access to both amazon and google play stores... but wanted to use the $5 promotion from amazon..
So the avia downloaded from amazon shows up as update required in google play store. When u click update on play store, it gives an invalid license error...
But good to know its the same app on both stores.

I noticed today that I wasn't receiving an update notification from amazon appstore that avia was able to update, it didn't even show an update available within the appstore itself. Yet, the version of Avia I had installed was older than the one that the store said was available. So in order to update to the newest version, I had to uninstall and reinstall from amzn. Just wish I would have bought it from playstore instead.
On another note, has anyone else gotten Avia stuck in the notification bar? It's persistent and can't be removed unless I restart my phone. It can't be swiped away like all other notifications, even after force closing the app. It happens when I try to click on my media server that is hooked to my router. (I've included a screenshot showing what I'm talking about)

Amazon's update notifications are a bit odd... I turned them off because all it really loved to tell me was that I had new apps to install. Yes Amazon, I wish I could install all 875 apps (Free App of the Day - it's not my fault!)...
Anyway, the way you're meant to update an Amazon Appstore app is:
Launch Amazon Appstore
Tap the Amazon Appstore title to get the menu (if this doesn't work you need to update Amazon Appstore itself, which usually takes two passes - first for notification to download, second to actually apply the update after Appstore is killed)
Tap My Apps
Tap Updates
Choose app to update. If the app doesn't show up, tap the refresh circle button at the upper right and wait...
Uninstalling and reinstalling also works, and arguably may be faster, depending...
I have never seen that weird stuck notification you have there.

Same here. Other Amazon apps show update but not Avia. Maybe it's because of in app purchase. I only found out about an update through this forum.
As for stuck Avia notification, l found that only happens when Avia can't play a file and gets an error when casting to Chromecast. The solution is to play a compatible file to Chromecast. Then pause it. Now remove from notification by hitting x.

Ain't that a PITA, you would think that when the app is closed out of recent apps it would remove the notification. At least that is an easier work around than a full reboot. Thanks
Amazon Appstore showed me an Avia update where it's supposed to be (My Apps > Updates), but I had to refresh before it showed up.

Amazon is behind on many apps. The game Magic 2014 had some installation problems on my Nexus 7 from Play Store but worked on Amazon so I went and did my in-app purchases there. Unfortunately now, Play Store has version 1.4.0 and Amazon has had 1.3.0 for many weeks.

This seems to be a general theme for Amazon Appstore vs Google Play. Not sure why Amazon is slower. Maybe more bureaucracy?

Perhaps. I know that the actual APK file in Amazon has some changes to include their DRM.
Or maybe devs think of Amazon as an afterthought and are lazy in submitting the apps.
Hi All,
I am a huge supporter of TeamBlackOut but for some reason I can't get the Google Play Store (black) to work and stay working without crashing all the time. Anyone have a fix or know of a working one?

You should have asked in the Q&A the Q&A forum, but to get it working, I need to know what version of the store you have (show me the version number from Settings, Apps, All, Play Store).
After I see that, I can guide you further.

Hi all,
apologies if this question has been answered already, I've searched before to post but I believe nobody reported it before.
I've installed 13.3 version, so far so good, netflix works through the play store for instance (I'm on lineage os)
BeIN connect still refuses to launch and tells me to install it through the play store, I've added the app to the hide root section as well.
Is anyone here using BeIN sports connect on lineage os or on any other custom rom?
Thank you

Did you install from anywhere else than the play store?

Don't think this has anything to do with Magisk. The app opens just fine on my device without adding it to MagiskHide.

Yes I have installed it from apkpure since my play store it's the Italian one where the app it's not available.
So I suppose BeIN sports connect it's checking something in the playstore and it has nothing to do with magisk as I was guessing.
It will be slightly OT but do you know if there is any way to make it work?
Thank you

Thank you for the nice suggestion, I believe (still not totally sure) that the problem it's another one. The app in the Australian play store it's a different one than the one of other regions like say, France.
Connecting to the two play store the apps have different version numbers, 1.0.1 the Australian 5.3 the other regions, also the last release date it's different.
On the apk mirrors the one that you can find it's not the Australian one but the other one, so when you launch it from the Australian territory it tells you to install from the play store.
Again apologies for the OT but I just wanted to make sure to give the possible answer, not solution since I'm not finding the right apk.
Cheers

Hey guys, a few days ago I opened up my play store and it was completely redesigned. It now has a picture on the side, and has a white backround. Sorta looks like ios. What does you guys think? Do any of you have it?

Um yeah, that's how it works.
Why would they make a play store app for just one software version?
It's only the updated play store app that was released with the P developer preview.

Alright, I use yalp store, f-droid, apkupdater, apkpure, aptoide, blackmarkt... w/o any hassle.

HOW? I prefer google because they have a lot of support, and a lot of helpful features. Plus, they won't lose support for gapps as apps such as blackmarket can quickly lose support
