Way too active in the background
I've shopping on Amazon for over 10+ years, it offers awesome prices and services. This review is regarding to Amazon's Android Appstore app, which you need it to run Amazon Mobile. You may not know is that some of Amazon's daily free paid apps are also require Appstore app. If Appstore is uninstalled, you will be bombarded with warning message about how the apps can't run without Appstore every time the apps try to run in the background. It becomes nightmare when these apps try to run every hour, you'll end up getting these message every hour.
The reason that I uninstall Appstore is because it's constantly running in the background doing something. Not only it's a privacy concern, it also slows down the phone and drains its battery.
To Amazon App department, please follow Amazon Retail business model; which is offer excellent services and prices with no string attached. If you offer 3rd party paid apps for free, offer them as they are. Don't link them to Appstore app for data collecting purpose.
