The Amazon Appstore for Android is going international. Developers that distribute through the Appstore are invited to start submitting apps for new markets such as the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy and Spain as of today, expanding Amazon’s global app footprint outside of the United States. It is a natural move for Amazon, but will developers jump on the new opportunities?
The relationship between Amazon and developers has been turbulent since the e-commerce giant launched the Appstore in March 2011. Developers have complained about a variety of issues, including disagreements over list and market prices, device filtering, consumer feedback and comments, Amazon’s review process and others. Amazon has acknowledged that the Appstore was a bit of a learning process for the company and that it has worked to address developer concerns during the past year.
