Amazon App Store

Anyone else notice that Amazon now lets you try an app or game before downloading it?? Worked well. It was pretty cool. A 10 minute counter clocks down as you play. If you click on an advert in a game it brings you to a low res browser which leads me to believe its essentially playing the already installed game on their servers via a browser in the app store. I'm sure this isn't news but it was to me!

anyone know why it is allowed on some games and not others? Any way to search only for games that will allow this?

Yeah. The started testing it out a beta a few months ago, just on a few phone and for a few apps. I tried it out back then, but it wasn't very smooth. Then it seemed like they got rid of it. But now it seems to be back. It still appears to only work for certain apps. I haven't tried it again, but I'm hoping it's improved.
