Most Popular Apps in Amazon Appstore to Stoke Your Fire Phone

By Don Reisinger

JoyJoy is the most popular game available on the Fire Phone. The game allows users to use various weapons for the “twin-stick” shooter simulation. The game features support for the Fire Phone’s touch screen, as well as a Bluetooth-enabled control pad. It costs $1.99.

Essential Anatomy 3 is one of the more interesting apps in this roundup. The app helps users explore the 10 systems of the body and see them in full 3D. The app is designed for both medical providers and laypeople who want to know more about how our bodies work. The app is a little on the expensive side, costing $24.

Candy Crush Saga, the free, wildly popular game available on just about every device on the market today, is now running on the Fire Phone. The game’s latest version includes new levels, giving it more than 400 for users to try out. The title is free to play, but some in-game items will cost money, so be aware of that before letting the kids get too far into the title.

No surprise here, but Facebook is one of the more popular apps for the Fire Phone. The free app includes access the user’s news feed, as well as the ability to send messages to others and check out what friends are up to. The app is essentially the same as what customers would find on any other mobile device on the market.

Although Amazon would like its users to invest heavily in Prime Instant Video, its own streaming-video service, Netflix is very popular among Fire Phone users. The free app lets users who have a Netflix account stream both movies and television shows to the Fire Phone. Right now, Netflix has more streaming content than any other competitor, so it might be a good option for entertainment seekers.

Pandora, always a staple in the list of most popular apps in other mobile app stores, is also a desirable option for folks who own the Fire Phone. The app provides curated streaming music to users. Those who want ad-free listening and better audio quality will need to pay $5 per month for Pandora One. The app is free.

Converter Pro, a 99-cent app for the Fire Phone, is a great option for travelers. The app allows users to input one measurement—whether it’s distance, length or just about anything else—and then convert it to another. It’s a useful app for determining mileage, distance or even simple math.

Photo Editor+ is a quite nice photo editor for those who don’t need Photoshop-like corrections. The 99-cent app lets users adjust blurry photos, tilt and zoom on certain areas, and remove basic issues, like the red eye effect. The app will also let users share photos on several social networks, like Twitter and Facebook.

AllRecipes Dinner Spinner Pro might seem a little expensive at $2.99, but what users get is quite a bit. According to AllRecipes, the app includes a wide range of recipes for all kinds of meals, and also features a tool for scaling recipes up or down depending on the number of people eating. It’s a handy app for aspiring chefs or those who want something fresh to eat but don’t know how to make it.

Instapaper, which costs $2.99 in Amazon’s Appstore, provides users with the ability to save Web pages for the future. Perhaps the most important feature is that it works in offline mode, so even though users aren’t connected to the Web, they can still see those sites they saved. Instapaper is a nice app, and one that many Fire Phone users seem to like.
