I'm confused as to why there would be a Kindle Fire app, but no Android app. Aren't apps for the two platforms nearly identical?


We have the Android version ready, but we are waiting for one final feature: the ability to target Android 4.4.3+ specifically (as it's the first with Canvas hardware acceleration built in the web view, which we need).

Kindle Fire HDX on the other hand, we released through their 'html app' option, meaning we can actually point to manyland.com and don't need to provide a compiled project. Pretty neat from Amazon!
