Amazon has been offering free Android apps for Android and its Fire devices through the Underground Actually Free program that it launched back in August 2015. The program was launched as the company was building up its Amazon Appstore which now offers more than 800,000 apps and games for Fire tablets, Fire TV, and Android devices in 236 countries and territories. The company has confirmed that it has now decided to end the Underground Actually Free program.
This means that free Android apps from Amazon will no longer be available. All support for the Underground Actually Free program is going to end in 2019.
Until then, its Fire tablet users will be able to enjoy all apps and games that they have installed for free via Underground. It also mentions that Fire tablet access to the Underground store is not going to extend beyond the devices that are currently supported.
Those who own Android devices will not be able to access the Underground Actually Free store via Amazon’s Appstore after summer 2017. They will continue to have access to the Amazon Underground app to shop for physical products, manage previously installed free apps, and access content on Prime Video.
Amazon will stop accepting new app and game submissions for Underground Actually Free from May 31st.
