1. STARTING UP
a) Check app/games Amazon Store availability
Check if the app/game you’re interested in is available before using the Amazon App.
Use a browser and your preferred search engine (e.g. google) and enter the keyword
“amazon app store <insert_game|app_name_here>”
- If app/game is not available, there will be no result in the search. For example
“amazon app store call of duty mobile”
- If app/game is available, it will show as the first result in the search. For example
“amazon app store mobile legend”
b) Install Amazon Appstore on your phone

For reference whether your account is ready or not see below:-
- If you have confirmed that the app/game is available in Amazon Appstore, BUT your account is not ready, the app/game will not appear in the search result in the Amazon Appstore app
