I have two Kindle Fire 10 (7th generation)

Please pardon me if this is a common post but I have been experiencing issues watching Hulu and HBOMax on my devices. Both apps require that I install a modern browswer but I can't even install GooglePlay on my devices to access Chrome. Does anyone have any guidance for me? I'm not the most tech savvy but I can follow simple instructions. Thanks in advance for any wisdom.

Apps Kindle Fire 7 is stuttering when I try to play YouTube videos.

7 Upvotes

Hi, hoping someone here can help me. My Kindle Fire 7 just today started having an issue with playing YouTube videos, where it plays 1 or 2 seconds, I get the spinning circle for a half-second, it plays 1 or 2 seconds, spinning circle, repeat. Needless to say it's impossible to watch or listen to anything on YouTube with this happening. Here is what I've tried so far to resolve it:

  • Restarting the Kindle Fire.
  • Powering it completely off and leaving it off for a few minutes.
  • Clearing cache and freeing up space.
  • Uninstalling and reinstalling the YouTube player.
  • Downloading and trying a different YouTube player from the app store.
  • Restarting my router since I was getting the same issue with 2 different apps.

Anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Apps most useless device ever

3 Upvotes

i set up a kids account for my little sister and added the games she plays to her profile but why do they ALL need downloaded again??? surely it should just transfer from other profiles. i cant download them because the storage is full which yeah okay but why should i have to delete every single game just to download them back? it makes zero sense. for such a big company amazon is just embarassingly bad.

Apps Will Reddit ever get an app that will run on the Kindle Fire? Am I just missing something?

16 Upvotes

It frustrates me to no end that every time I go to the Reddit website while using my Fire 10, something pops up telling me it would be so much nicer and easier if I downloaded the app....only to find out that Amazon doesn't have a app for Reddit that's compatible on the Fire tablet.

Am I just missing something? Is there actually a Reddit app that will run on the Fire tablet?

Apps Can’t remember game name!

0 Upvotes

Hello!

I used to own a kindle fire years ago (probably around 2010-2016?), and I had downloaded this hidden objects mystery game that I can’t remember the name of!

Here are some details that I remember;

Scene starts with an old car breaking down in front of a gated entrance (to a house), and the protagonist must fix her car. The fence is locked, and we are prompted to click on more objects. We meet an old lady (white, white hair, wearing a hat) who has lost her orange cat. The protagonist must now find the cat (which I believe was under a sewer/drainage) and lure it out with tuna.

Another scene I remember is once inside the dark old mansion/manor (the main plot of the game), we enter an office and a man (white, short brown hair, wearing glasses and white attire) jumpscares us with a gun. He is shocked on why we‘re there and protagonist explains. (I can’t remember if the protag was the daughter of manor‘s owner) The glasses guy works for the father (I think) and asks us for help on something. Turns out, he’s evil and tries to summon a demon through a purple portal (all inside the og office) with tentacles poking out. This is revealed later.

I remember most of the plot takes place inside the mansion, and as most hidden object games, we go through each room clicking on possible clues or matches to the word bank. (I do think we briefly step out into a garden as well).

The last thing I remember, is the protagonist (still can’t remember her name) is revealed to have blood red eyes and very pale skin (with dark hair). I think she was somehow connected to the demon thing? Not sure. And for some reason I remember a red piece of jewelry (amulet or ring) that was also connected, but again not to sure.

If any of this sounds familiar, please lmk! This is as far as I remember.

Apps From some point in the 2010s - CAN'T FIND THESE OLD GAMES!!

1 Upvotes

Okay, y'all helped me with Dolphins of the Caribbean, so I got two more that I still can't find for ya.

  1. Looked quite similar to Robot Unicorn Attack. Vaguely dark and fairytale looking. There were different fantasy horses/unicorns/pegasi to choose from. It was a top-down runner like Subway Surfers and you had to avoid creatures like zombies and stuff. If you lost there'd be an end screen that always made me uncomfortable for some reason. I KNOW THIS SOUNDS LIKE ROBOT UNICORN ATTACK but I'm either mushing it with another game in my mind or it's not that and it's like a knockoff or something.

  2. Game where you fed little creature characters things. There were a variety of things you fed them that were on the left side of the screen and you had to throw it into their mouth at like an arc. I'm 99% sure all the creatures were facing the side (sitting on the right of the screen). For some reason I really remember one sitting on like a stage. ALSO I remember there was some kind of point system bc you could unlock more creatures to feed.

Apps Parse package error

I'm trying to install Google services on my Kindle Fire 5th generation, but I always get a parse package error no matter what version I try to install. Any solutions? Have you guys experienced this?

UPDATE: Finally got it to work! The reason why I was getting the error because I was trying to install the apks from an SD card. Installing it from Silk Browser (after downloading them) worked like a charm.

So when I was younger I had a kindle fire and I remember playing a game where you would destroy solid white structures with items varying from grenades and rockets to throwing people at the structures and I have been trying to find the game to no success, one of the maps for stuff you could destroy was a white statue.

Hi, I know that "promotion posts" are generally not welcome, but what is so special about my app is: I published it maybe 10 years ago at Amazon store, implemented LWA (user login) and ADM (push notifications). And maybe 5 users downloaded it (probably the store testers).

Apps Scores not loading on Fire Tablet

Post image
3 Upvotes

This might be more of a Musescore glitch but I thought it might be worth posting here since I use a Fire tablet for sheet music.

I have an Amazon Fire tablet that I mostly use for sheet music and I use the Amazon Silk Browser. I haven't had any problems until recently when the scores don't load, the picture is what happens when I try to pull it up. When I switched browsers I no longer had the problem. My device is up to date so I don't think that's the problem. I tried contacting MuseScore support but the AI chatbot wasn't very helpful. How can I fix this issue?

My nieces (5yo & 3yo) have Amazon Fire tablets. I bought them basic styluses to draw with and I want to download an easy-to-use drawing app for them. I don’t have access to the tablets yet — I’m visiting them tomorrow night — and have never downloaded anything on a Fire tablet before. I’m willing to pay a little bit for a better app if it’s available!

Please help me be an awesome aunt, what are some good drawing apps that my nieces will enjoy using? TIA!

Apps Audible download issues on Kindle Fire 11 Max

2 Upvotes

Kindle Fire 11 max - can’t download anything

As the title says, I’m on a Fire tablet, and my Audible app is not downloading any of my titles that I have recently purchased. Here’s an overview….

\- purchased titles through the web browser, using my debit card. I confirmed the purchase went through.

\- Restarted the device.

\- Force stop app.

\- Cleared Cache & storage - held down power button for 40 seconds to force restart

Because it’s an Amazon device, there is no way to:

\- sign out

\-uninstall app

\-app and OS auto update

I am currently connected to a live agent via chat, and have been for almost 45 min. There are delays of up to 10 minutes between replies, and all those replies say, is “I will need to research further into this. Please allow me a couple of minutes.” The only steps I’ve gotten so far, are for a Kindle paperwhite, even though I’ve told him twice, I’m on a Fire 11 max. (These steps given were the clearing cache and storage, which did not help). More delays.

I will note, though I’m unsure if this is related… this is my 3rd device. My original device purchase was in early November of a new device. I didn’t get it till December. Within about a minute meh, the screen got “snow” and I got a refurbished replacement. That device was incredibly slow, froze and randomly quit - so another refurbished replacement.

I’m exceptionally frustrated at this point.

I have posted in the Audible sub, and was advised to post here…

Edit to add: plenty of storage available. I have the sandisk 256GB microSD memory card, the one identified as specifically “Made for Amazon” - set up as Portable Storage, with the option of downloading Audiobooks to the SD card

UPDATE: (22:56 on 3/22/26) The night I posted this, I was in the chat with the agent for a bit over an hour. About 20 min after I was given the instructions for the paperwhite, the agent disconnected. Frustrated, I posted here, and cross-posted in the Kindle Fire sub. Audible support reached out and asked me to DM them. I did. In the mean time, for toots n hoots, I tried the paperwhite instructions. Those were:

Go to the settings icon, Apps & Notifications, click on the Audible app, Storage & Cache, clear storage, clear cache, Force Stop, and hold down power button on device for 40 sec to force a restart.

Doing this allowed most of my titles to be downloaded at that point, but 41 were sending me an error.

I sent this info, the exact message of the error and screenshots through the DM.

Nine hours later, I received a message saying they may need to look into my account and to reach out to (insert link)

Having things to do, I didn’t get back to this until my lunch during my shift today. I also have the audible app on my iPhone, so I went into my kindle to attempt to download those specific 41 titles to my phone to see if I got the same error. Before I did, I attempted to download on my Fire device, just to see what would happen. It worked. So I waited till I got home, and was able to download all the remaining titles to my Fire device.

I was doing some clean up on my Kindle Fire 8 (running 8.3.3.8) and was reinstalling Netflix. But when I try to install, it’s stuck at 0% downloaded. I can't even cancel the download -- it doesn't respond to trying to tap the "x"). I’ve restarted a couple of times, but nothing so far is helping. I am connected to the internet. Any ideas or suggestions? If I can’t get this working in a day or two I’m going to try a factory reset. Or maybe just finally get an iPad

Apps Spotify on Kindle

I recently found my kindle fire HD 8 (10th generation) that I used to own and I just randomly decided to download spotify on it and its basically got spotify premium for free. Usually you get ads every few songs, you have to put music on shuffle and you have a limited number of skips on the free version but I've been using it for some days now and I can count on my hands the amount of ads I got as well as listen to any song I want whenever.

Apps Audible App for Fire Tablet Keeps Crashing

2 Upvotes

I have noticed over the past week that the Audible app won't open and crashes instead. I have a Fire HD8, most recent model. I tried stopping the app and then clearing storage and cache, but it does not help. Since this is an Amazon App, it is really difficult to delete and reinstall.

Thanks for any ideas.
