Update:
Downloader is back in the Fire TV appstore.
Amazon has suspended my Downloader app from the Amazon Appstore for Fire TVs and Fire Tablets. I count on that it is a non permanent suspension and that the app will quickly be restored.
Amazon’s motive for suspending Downloader was given as: “Amazon restricts the publication of third-party browser apps on Fire tablets and Fire TV devices.” Since Downloader on Fire TVs has had a built-in browser for over 9 years, I believe the challenge isn’t the browser itself, however that the app now registers itself as a browser since the v2 release earlier this month, in order that it might open hyperlinks from different apps.
I’ve submitted a v2.0.2 replace for Downloader to Amazon that not registers itself as a browser, which matches the habits it beforehand had. I’m hopeful that Amazon will approve this model and restore Downloader in the Amazon Appstore. The replace was submitted this morning, and it often takes Amazon a number of days to check and approve submissions.
I’ll replace this put up and write a brand new article as soon as Downloader is obtainable once more. If you have already got Downloader on a Fire TV machine, it’s possible you’ll proceed utilizing it, however don’t uninstall it otherwise you will be unable to reinstall it. You must also flip off “Auto Offload,” beneath Settings > Applications, so Downloader doesn’t get uninstalled routinely.
Update
Do NOT set up the app named “Downloader for Fire, Browser…“. That app is a SCAM that methods you into paying $6.99 PER WEEK. Please assist get it removed by reporting it as a scam to Amazon.
I strongly urge everybody to be affected person for my actual Downloader app to return and not set up different apps, since lots of them are pretend clones that attempt to rip-off you. I’ll put up as quickly as the actual Downloader is again up.
