Free OfficeSuite Professional 6 App for Android Phones (expired)

Quote from qjj123 : Is there any way for me to add it to my amazon account without a device. I am expecting my android device in the next week or so but do not have it yet.

You could try running an Android device emulator via the Android SDK [android.com], and installing the Amazon appstore to that to trick Amazon into thinking you have an Android device attached to your account, and then you'd be able to buy apps. You could also try asking a friend if he would let you install the Amazon Appstore on his device, sign in to it, then sign back out, which would also attach an Android device to your Amazon account.

Thanks, been waiting for a full version to be free for some time now.

Gees!
Only by "purchasing" all of this apps without installing (considering negative feedbacks in the wiki), I can get ~$8 in amazon MP3 credit. So why complain?
Thanks OP and rep'd, of course!

Try bluestacks.com...

Quote from mpkb : I've had Amazon Appstore installed for a long time. Apps delivered through it are "special" versions- they require Amazon Appstore to be installed, so don't think you can uninstall once you get the apps. Curiously, just last week I had to uninstall Amazon Appstore. My phone battery was mysteriously draining within hours even when idle. It was also crashing on its own too. After checking apps, Amazon Appstore was at 27mb, biggest hog by far. Most apps are like 2mb. I reinstalled, and it dropped the memory consumption down to half. The battery life returned, but the phone would sometimes be extremely slow to the point of not being able to use it. So I had to uninstall it again. And I left it off, at least for now. Phone is back to normal, but I can't use the apps I got from Amazon. Haven't solved this yet... Disclaimer: I am not an Amazon hater.

So, Now That I have the office suite showing purchased on my amazon account online, can I remove the amazon appstore and still on the office suite app for later use if I decide to install app store app again later? Also, why can't I use the office suite pro after I remove amazon appstore app? It seems to work on my gs3 now and I just removed the amazon app store.

Are the $1 MP3 credits showing up in your accounts? Or, is that not offered while they're free?

Doesnt the apple store or itunes require CC info when you sign up even when dling free apps? Whats the difference btw that and amazon appstore?

Wondering the same will I get charged if uninstalling amazon app? Office still works after amazon app was gone.

Responses to the common questions and concerns that people are having about the Amazon Appstore

Quote from spinnindeals : If you delete an app from your phone, will it stay on your cloud?

Yes. In fact, the best way to save an app to your cloud, that you do not plan on using immediately, is to purchase is from your browser. If you purchase through the appstore, on your Android device, it will save the app to your phone and use up that memory on your device, even if you don't actually install the app. Here are the instructions to clear out those useless downloads:

FYI, IF YOU NEED TO CLEAR OUT MEMORY ON YOUR ANDROID DEVICE:
Download a file explorer, such as ES File Explorer. Open it and go to sdcard>Android>data>com.amazon.venezia>cache
This is all of the apps that you have downloaded from the Amazon, that you may or may not have installed on your device. They are useless leftovers that hog your internal memory (though, of course, it may not be a problem if you have tons of memory). Clearing out these apk files should not effect how the app functions on your device. As stated above, at this time, all apps purchased from the Amazon Appstore are saved to your account, and can be downloaded and installed at any time. However, there is no reason to keep the leftover apk on your device (unless you want to keep the original file for an app that you do not want to update).

Quote from Impact-Vector : I tried to install them but get an error that I dont have a credit card on file with Amazon. Anyone else see this message ?

You get that message whenever you use Amazon Appstore for the first time. You may already have a (or several) credit cards linked to your regular Amazon account. However, when you first use Amazon Appstore, you need to follow the instructions associated with that error message. It will take you to a page that lets you choose one of your Amazon-linked credit cards, and specifically link it to your Amazon Appstore. You shouldn't even need to worry about re-entering the info. Just click the bubble on the card that you want to link, save it, and go back to the appstore to make your purchase.

Quote from alochet : is there anyway to install these without using the amazon app?

Quote from alochet : Is it possible to install them with amazon, then backup it up with titanium, then uninstall amazon app and restore the app from titanium? Or are these fully dependent on amazon being installed

These apps cannot be installed, from Amazon, without the Amazon Appstore installed on your device. Also, all apps that you download from the appstore run a check to make sure that the app matches your Amazon Appstore account (just like most apps from Google play). If you do not have the appstore installed, then the apps will not work.

Quote from spinnindeals : Can you quit the app so it isn't running?

Probably, though it will likely restart. And in any case, if you quit it, you will not be able to run any of the apps that you purchased from the Amazon Appstore. This is Amazon's method of IP protection. Essentially, your Amazon account is linked to your Amazon Appstore account, which is linked to your Amazon Appstore App on your device. So all of the apps that you download through your account must check your device's Amazon Appstore app, to allow it to function, in order to make sure that you have actually purchased the app and not just pirated a copy from someone else.

Quote from jaliu : keep getting purchasing errors. will i get charged if i delete the amazon app after getting office? it seems the amazon app is pretty shifty from some reviews. they have access to your internet and texts, and try to make all the charges.

You should not be charged. However, the Office app will no longer open on your device. Yes, the appstore does have many required permissions, but first, check some of the previously posted explanations of the permissions. And secondly, compare it to Google's permissions on your device...

Quote from spinnindeals : Does anyone know the difference between Splashtop Remote Desktop and Splashtop2? The first one has way more reviews but the second seems newer? Both are free.

Quote from rat_slick : I am wondering the same ...anyone ?

As far as I can tell, Splashtop 2 has IAPs, and does NOT include the ability to remotely access your desktop over 3G/4G connections (hence, you can purchase that ability through the IAP), whereas regular splashtop seems to include 3G/4G connectivity. Also, Splashtop 2 seems to be optimized to function better with Windows 8.

Quote from techx : Those free amazon apps are sure alluring but I wonder how many of you know that the amazon app itself is ALWAYS RUNNING after you install it. So just be aware of that before you DL.

Yes, it is always running, just like Google Play, because all of the apps that you download from Amazon must be able to verify your Amazon Appstore account in order to function.

Quote from pdxman1 : That is a big drawback for me. It is always running and when I had it installed, it was using a lot of data. Way too much for any legitimate need. I don't know what it was communicating, but that was enough for me to uninstall it and all the apps I got via Amazon.

I think you might be confused with download vs. upload data usage. Of course it uses a lot of data downloading... it uses data every single time that you purchase an app through the appstore, because it is downloading the app onto your device. Downloading apps is not only a legitimate need, it's the entire purpose of the appstore. If, on the other hand, the appstore is using tons of data doing uploads (i.e. sending data to Amazon) then there might be a problem. Granted, my personal upload total for the Amazon Appstore, for this entire month (26 days combined), is 4.07MB. That's nothing in the realm of data usage.

Quote from prismatic : Thank you for clearing that up. This is a big no for me too. Unless amazon changes their policy I am not going to install anything from them even it is free.

Quote from SDRebel : Agreed on the concerns

Read the two above responses. It may completely change your understanding.

Quote from tommyz23 : It would be nice if these were available on the Play store. The problem with the Amazon store is the apps don't get updated as often. ie. Weatherbug Elite is still an old version on Amazon.

Very true. However, see the following statement:

Quote from plumrt : Multiple people share our amazon account apps. Can do it with play store, but you still need to sign everyone in to that account. Amazon seems like less trouble for us.

Same here. I prefer to obtain all of my apps through the Amazon Appstore. I don't care to connect the rest of my family to my Google Account and bombard their devices with all of my incoming emails and google talk messages. Plus, the Amazon Appstore has a fully-functioning and intuitive on/off switch for restricting IAPs so that the kids cannot make purchases from their devices.


ONE LAST THING:
If you are concerned about data usage when downloading apps, go to:
Menu>Settings>Use Wi-Fi When Downloading
And change the restriction to 1MB.
This will prevent you from using tons of data, on your wireless carrier, in the Amazon Appstore.

Quote from Nattefrost : Doesnt the apple store or itunes require CC info when you sign up even when dling free apps? Whats the difference btw that and amazon appstore? Wondering the same will I get charged if uninstalling amazon app? Office still works after amazon app was gone.

You won't get charged. If I remember correctly, the app will continue to work until there is an update available for that app. At that time, the app will try to send you to Amazon app store for the update. I think the app is then unusable until you take the update and you will not be able to update any apps downloaded from the Amazon app store through Google Play.

Quote from MozartA : You have to register at least ONE device. Either borrow someone else device and register it to your account once. Or try the link below it is a pc/mac program that allows you to install Android App on your computer. Not sure if it can install Amazon Appstore but you can play around with it to try it out. http://bluestacks.com/indexPC.html

Excellent. Thanks for the info. I had to do it on a PC. Mac version is very limited.

Only a few apps seem to be ok without the Amazon appstore ...TuneInRadio Free and QuickOffice seem to be exceptions.

Amazon Appstore will begin running in the background and can only be stopped by using apps that prevent it from doing so such as ROM Toolbox. I have disabled the Amazon appstore from starting up and it has not interfered in running any Amazon apps or games.

apparently unolingo is the only one i missed during the regular offers. grabbed it.

Quote from CriticalCritic : snipped

i found it is a lot easier to refresh/clear amazon app by uninstalling it and reinstalling it. no need for navigating files through ES.

i love amazon, but my only complaint is that occasionally it needs to *connect* for me to use apps. i had just started a 16 hour car ride with kids, and when they turned on the tablet, no games would play because amazon app store couldn't connect to internet. that was frustrating. i have no idea why it happened, games have always been playable offline. i think this has happened 2 or 3 times over 2 years (but only once on long car ride).

In for 1 OfficeSuite. I can finally ditch QuickOffice so I can print my docs. Thanks OP!

If you are setting your Google Accounts like that for all your family Android device, you are doing it wrong.
The best way is create a separate Google account just to buy apps and nothing else. Don't use that for email, google talk, etc. And each Android device can setup to have their own Google Account for device backup. But for google play, setup to use this Google Play account that ONLY use for Google play purchase and nothing else.
As people mentioned before, I believe developers upgrade their apps at Google Play first and sometime it takes them long time to update their apps in Amazon Appstore if at all.
A lot of people willing to buy directly from Google play for a bit more just for that (plus don't have to deal with the extra battery/memory/data usage from Amazon Appstore.
