While no where near the 1 million or so apps available from Google Play or the Apple App Store, the Amazon Appstore offers an impressive 4000,000 apps. At its most basic, the Amazon store is merely a curated list of the apps already found on the Google Play store. Among the most popular include The Walking Dead: Episode 2, WeatherBug, Evernote, Runkeeper and Spotify. But it doesn’t have everything. For instance, you won’t find Seamless or Google Drive.

Amazon’s Appstore comes preloaded on the Fire Phone and tablets, as well as on all BlackBerry 10 devices. Or it can be a second app store on any Android device.
