Ummm ... are they even in business anymore? What would a BlockBuster app do?
I understood they had switched to a RedBox kind of operation. Can't remember the last time I saw an actual BB store open.
Well, apparently Dish bought them and there is an app or three in the Market. (found in a two-second search)
However, I am fairly sure it will have the same issues as the Netflix app.
Nice reviews in the android market

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 Or is it just outdated version available on amazon?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.
so YouTube has been announced and is slowly rolling out in India. YouTube goes seems to be a viable Tubemate replacement with all the little bugs that crop up in tubemate. YouTube Go will seemingly be for videos only but we'll hope that changes since it's has not launched yet.
Here is some info on it for you people (clarification: when I say you people I don't mean black people)
You can sign up for the service here
You can read about the Official blog post here
Hopefully someone find that helpful! :victory: and if you find a legit apk post a link below & i'll update the OP.

I find arkTube to the best so far
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gen...-arktube-ultimate-youtube-downloader-t3321818
It works with the youtube app so no need for switching to tubemate if you find a video you want to download.

ArkTube is nice but it's also a paid app. YouTube Go will be free on launch.
Edit--I should've read a little more. I was thinking this is a 3rd party app but I was off. Thinking this wont be available in the USA?

Hmmm it's possible considering the purpose of the app but either way we can just grab the apk once it's available and reap the same benefits.
cuz to be honest, I can't afford an unlimited plan so using Youtube Go on WiFi would be just perfect!
Just an update if anyone is following this... app is still in "coming soon" phase.

If anyone is still interest, it's available on ApkMirror.
Tried the app. Runs smooth and snappy. Can we mod this app in order to make it more data usage & battery friendly ?
1. Amoled black instead of white
2. White font instead of black
3. Instead of showing the video, can we only show the thumbnail.
It would be great.
How do I get this app on Nexus 6P running 8.1 Oreo? I die loaded but it said it's not for my phone and directs me to the Playstore but then it says not available
I'm currently running Pure Nexus and like many/most custom roms it has GA enabled but the other 2 phones in my house are stock Nexus 6P's and neither have received the update yet. One I signed up for the beta program and it downloaded and installed the 7.1.2 beta but no GA. Then I read today that it'll be a Google Play Services update that enables GA across MM/Nougat devices so I updated Play Services to the latest beta and still no GA. So, what do you know, what do you hear?? My wife and son really want GA but want to stay stock. Their tired of me messing with their phones.
Running stock, no root. Latest GPS and Google App and nothing

Thanks for the reply. Kind of strange that a weekend ago Google announced it wound start hitting capable phone starting last week in the US first yet it seems no one has received the update.
I'm on a Nexus 6P, never rooted, in the Beta program with 7.1.2. I'm also in the Google Play Services beta program. I have installed the Pixel Launcher from APK but otherwise stock. So far no Assistant. Live in the US.
Still no assistant here either. Are we missing something, or has Google not actually released the update like they said they would? I don't know of anyone that has actually received it to this point.
It's a server side switch and in typical Google form, they are turning it on very slowly. These trickle rollouts of new features are ridiculous. Either it's ready for release or it's not. If it is, release it to everyone. If it's not, then don't announce anything until it's ready.

I have been searching for anyone who has had it turned on. I follow a FB forum as well where every little update usually gets posted. Nothing there yet either. Hearing of others getting it turned on would at least be encouraging.

Thats what I was thinking. A week ago the tech sites were a buzz with "Google Assistant coming to most 6.0+ phones this week". Then nothing. All week. I'm still wondering a full week later why the tech sites are almost silent and no one is asking "Ok Google, what gives".

Someone in the FB group received Assistant about an hour after installing the latest Google App beta APK. I just tried it. Probably a coincidence, but at least someone has reported getting Assistant.
Isn't this linked to the google play services apk? If someone gets it, wouldn't posting the apk give it to all of us?

You have to have the correct Play Services but Google still has to "turn it on" on their end. That seems to be what is taking so long. As long as your Play Services are up to date you should be good. I entered the beta program for that as well. Still no Assistant though.
Mine was activated yesterday, right around the time I updated to the 7.1.1 March security patch. Don't know if there's a direct relation though.
I just got it today, I had everything updated and it showed up on its own.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Looks like we're very slowly but surely on our way. Still no GA love for the 2 stock 6P's in my house yet.
Edit: P.S. I didn't start this thread to complain, I was just wondering if I was the only one not receiving the GA update. I can only imagine what a mind blowing amount of mega giga google flops of computing power it must take for what must be thousands (if not tens of thousands) of questions per second via voice, interpret it, then send the answer back. All within a second or 2. For the thousands or tens or thousands of users asking/interacting at the same time. Mind boggling. It's probably a very slow rollout to be able to keep up and ramp up for the onslaught until they get a full picture of what the new computing/server farm needs will be.
My Nexus 6 has it, my wife's 6p does not.

Just got it guys. Running LOs, Google app ver. 6.13.25.21, and Google Play Services ver. 10.2.99, location Kosovo. It feels great not to do so many workarounds just to have it
East coast rolled out 32GB.
Still Waiting as well
I am still waiting as well. February 5 Security Patch, Google(Beta) 6.14.14.21.arm and Play Services 10.2.98.
Like so many others I signed up for Play Services Beta, but unlike the others I never got a bump up (update), and Still have not received the March Security Update.
But I swear if I don't side load most things from Google I am the last to get them.
Hi,
If anyone can see the purchased apps from Google play store from my account /Purchase history section from 4/2016 and older please post screenshot of the purchased apps or items.
I purchased many apps but I can't scroll down older than April /2016 and 2015 and 2014 and 2013. Scrolling stops and I used pc too but same issue.
I want to know why Google did this and if this general issues with you all guys or only some?
If this from Google this would be dishonesty !
Post screenshots from April/ 2016 to 2013 if you made purchases please!
Thanks!
Everything's there, from present to July 2012 when I got my first Android device. Not sure why you'd need screenshots, but you should probably contact Google.
