Nick Harrington asked Nov 3, '12

App appears published on USA market but cannot find on UK store

We published an App (ID:xxxxxxxxxx) to Amazon Mobile App Store for Kindle. This completed review and is available for sale. However, the link to view on Amazon.com does show the App on the USA store, but we cannot find it on the UK store. I would like to publish a direct link for UK purchasers of the App to the Amazon.co.uk webstore. What have we done wrong in the publishing process? How can I locate the App (Sentencing Guidelines) on the UK store? Your advice much appreciated. Nick Message was edited by: ambaysoftware Message was edited by: Anshul@Amazon

Hi, Since this is specific to your app, can you please submit a contactUs ( https://developer.amazon.com/help/contactus.html) to Amazon.

The UK doesn't have apps listed on the amazon.co.uk website, so for us UK developers we have no way of even linking to our app from our websites or blogs.

Hi, We do not have website presence of Appstore in UK, we only support Appstore for UK in Android Phones and Tablets. Thank you.

Do you know if a website presence for the appstore will be coming to the UK in the future as it's a huge drawback for developers not being able to link to their apps from blogs etc and must be really harming the success of the Kindle Fire app sales in the EU. I have had loads of feedback from UK Kindle owners who are frustrated by this - they can't even send a link to their friends about an app that they downloaded and recommend.

RE: "The UK doesn't have apps listed on the amazon.co.uk website, so for us UK developers we have no way of even linking to our app from our websites or blogs." Can you clarify this please. Is it not possible to link to your app on the Amazon.com website from your website or blog? My app has just been accepted by Amazon and I am a UK developer so just wanted to try and understand the implications of apps not being listed on amazon.co.uk

Yes, you can link to it on Amazon.com, but UK owners cannot download from there, so there is no direct way to link to your app. You have to tell them to try searching for it on the Kindle Fire app store application and hope they find the right think. Frankly it's insane.
