The apps do cost extra, but they are not too expensive. I think they usually run from $5.99 to 20.99. Many of the apps are downloadable by PC/Mac or even WiFi if you have the 2S with built in Wi-Fi. Both the Amazon Store and the Vtech Store are supported.

Hi CK. No, unfortunately there is no Amazon app for this Unit. Also one of the reasons why I returned it.

This worked for me. Go in to settings.Go to Security.Under devise administration check the right box next to unknown sources. The will allow you to install apps from Amazon. Hope this helps!Kat

Hi Julie. No, that is just a spec from Apple that Amazon populated. If you had iCloud on other Apple devices of your own you could sync it with your phone.

When I last used this device, I installed Amazon AppStore (might have been version 2.xx something). Subsequent versions did not work well on this tablet. As time progressed, many of the newer apps would not even run on this device. Your best bet these days might be downloading APKs and installing them manually. Awhile ago, I could find some apps (with older versions) at the websitewww dot freewarelovers dot com forward-slash android

For now you can use amazon app store. Tried many ways to get google play and flash player installed. so far I have not had any luck. Hopefully there will be some of the modding communty getting involved soon, so the device can be rooted which will give superuser permissions to install the much needed apps.

You can download from the Amazon Apps store, but the resolution will be too poor to be of value. This is not a "retina" display and the angle of viewing is extremely critical.

Anything available on amazon appstore I have been able to use. If you see it there it can probably be used. You cannot use google play store with this device though even though its a droid.

If... You can get the right app to load yes. But good luck finding one with the installed OS. If your savy you can install a new one and get access to the regular app store.

You can install Amazon apps. The Amazon app store isn't pre-installed, but you can download it directly to the device by clicking this link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/get/android

I just downloaded the Amazon Appstore, like I would any other app. It has worked great for us!

No. You have to download an AppStore and google play is not a choice. And the app stores offered are not that great. But amazon AppStore is a choice. And it is a good AppStore. I am used to the apple AppStore, and the amazon store is comparable, with pictures, reviews, descriptions, examples of what will happen in the app, etc. to install the amazon store, however, you do need a credit card .. Which would be automatically charged for app purchases. You get an email each time an app is purchased .. Free or otherwise.

I have a Kindle and the apps from the Amazon app store run on it (and will sync with Kindle apps if you have a Kindle). You can also download from other app stores (not Google Play). Understand that this is not a high powered tablet and it has limited memory, so depending on the game it will run slowly. I had it with me at a birthday party tonight and three people there (adults that have Kindles and Ipads) said they are getting one for the portability and convenience of size, so it may not be as bad as I think it is. Works fine for email, Facebook, weather.

FYI - amazon app store is not compatible with this device...even though it shows up on the list of app stores.

Yes, you can download the Amazon appstore from the browser if you go to mommy or daddy mode. Then you can install Netflix from the appstore.
