We’ve been stalking the Amazon Appstore since day one with all their wonderful freebie apps coming day after day. While a ‘Free App A Day’ sounds wonderful, eventually, your poor EVO is going to get crushed under the weight of all those apps. Free is still free though, and that is a hard price to beat for programs that usually cost $3 or $5 each.
Still, the EVO only has so much storage space, and the more you use, the more sluggish your phone gets. Fortunately, we found a super secret, well maybe not so secret, but an amazingly cool trick. The first part of this trick is to realize that Amazon “bills” you for your “purchase” of your apps. The free app of the day is no exception to this rule. Once you purchase your free app, you will receive a receipt. This receipt works just like a purchase at the regular Market, where you can easily access your transaction again
What this means to you, the end user, is that you can reinstall any app that you ‘purchase’ from Amazon via the “My Downloads” page at anytime. Yes, that is correct. If you uninstall one of those apps, all you need to do is log back in to the Appstore App and reinstall it – for free.
The Amazon store doesn’t feature the selection that the Android Market does, but with a free installable/uninstallable app coming everyday, this app is a must have for every EVO owner. The best part about the Appstore is that you don’t even have to finish the install on the app for the first time to save the ‘purchase’. If you click on the daily link, you simply complete the purchase and choose to “cancel” instead of installing the app after downloading.
So head on over to the Appstore at Amazon.com and get your free apps for as long as they are offering them, whether you think you need them or not.
