I think it's totally clear what I am asking about. The subject *is not* to argue about amazon.
Please provide chess.com app for amazon fire appstore
Sort:
I am able to download the apk. I am also able to sideload the google play store. That has been discussed here earlier and thats not what I was asking for. Yes, there is a workaround, but also yes, there is a way to provide a product officially for amazon devices. And thats what I am asking for. So, again:
I was asking chess.com for providing the chess.com app to the amazon appstore. A simple suggestion for improvement. And in my opinion, as I already mentioned, chess.com is a commercial platform so asking for improvements should be allowed to paying members.
The android Chess.com App exists. Providing it to the Amazon Fire appstore is not a big deal, as Fire OS is Android 9. I‘m an app developer and know what I‘m talking about. Would you please stop trolling me now? I‘ve made a suggestion of interest. Chess.com want to earn money and expanding to the android based amazon platform could be an improvement. That’s all I wanted to say.
And he continues trolling me…

Then make the app and ask for compensation. That's worse, being skilled in something and asking others to do it. Do mechanics ask others to fix their car?
No one not authorized by the site can make a chess.com app. That's not the way it works.

The site used to have an app for the Fire tablet but it had very low adoption and was retired. I don't believe there are any plans to bring it back.

Thanks for your support, thats the point.
I‘m giving up, doesn‘t make any sense to make suggestions with trolls like him around…
You are way to stupid to understand that I can‘t just grab the code from their development source code repositories and work for them. Does your mechanic just walk into a foreign repair shop and continues their jobs for favour? Start thinking or stop talking…

How is this trolling when you are the one who could continue the development? Obviously, they decided to stop supporting it due to costs and here you can fill that role with less cost to the site.
If that is trolling, then what is actually contributing to the site? Doing it for free?
It's highly unlikely the site would use an external person to handle a chess.com reliant app. They would need full access to all site resources needed for app development and would still need project management and QA resources. With ongoing updates and bugs, they basically would need a full time app development resource.
For the Fire tablet market share, that likely doesn't make any sense financially, even if there was an inexpensive and quality developer.
Ok, thanks, *this* is a quality answer. Maybe with growing interest in the amazon fire tablets (which in fact are improving since the fire 7 or 8) interest of chess.com in the platform will grow, maybe not. We'll see.
Dear chess.com,
subject isn't new, I know...
But the Amazon Fire Tablets are improving more and more, and chess.com as a commercial chess platform with a lot of paying members should be able to provide the android chess.com app to the amazon fire appstore, too. Fire OS is based on Android 9 by now, so what's the big deal?
