I woke up this morning, got my coffee and headed to my desk. Like I do every morning, I checked my bank account. Inside was a charge for $7.99 from Amazon. Knowing I did not make the charge I turned to the three owners of Kindle Fire in my house. My kids. Sure enough, they had downloaded some games and, even though they know not to buy anything, ‘accidentally’ hit the wrong button! Now, I, like every parent, think I have safeguards against purchasing but the truth is, those little kids can sneak in a charge here and there! That is why I am SO SO glad to learn about Amazon Underground. How I did not know about this before is beyond me. Amazon Underground offers Actually FREE apps, books and games for kids, tweens, teen and adults! All FREE! If you have an Android SmartPhone or a Kindle Fire, download this or check it out now!
What is the Amazon Underground? It offers 100% free apps & games and is part of the Amazon Appstore.

My kids may not be able to discipher between a free or paid app on a regular app store so having Amazon Underground and it’s totally FREE apps all in one place is a relief for me. I don’t have to worry about an errant charge because everything in the Underground is free to download and play, read or interact with! They get access to over 3,000 apps and games that are 100% FREE when you download from Amazon Underground on your Amazon Fire tablet or Android smartphone. Talk about a great thing for parents!
Downloading is so easy on your Android SmartPhone. Just get the link emailed to you and follow the directions on the phone. I have it already on my Kindle Fire but I downloaded it on my Android Smartphone to see how easy it it. It really is and Amazon walks you through every step! Once it is downloaded, you can download any FREE app in the Underground.
Some other notes on the download:
- When accessing Amazon Underground apps & games on your Android device, you will be walked/prompted through the “unknown sources” process. To install app stores not initially present on your device, Android devices require you to enable the Unknown Sources setting. Enabling Unknown Sources allows you to download apps and games from sources other than Google Play to your mobile device and any app or game downloaded from Amazon Underground will not harm your device.
- Amazon Underground is generally compatible with all Android phones that run Android version 4.0 or greater.
- Amazon Underground is only supported on 5th Generation (2012 – newer) and newer Fire tablets, and Android phones.
- When accessing Amazon Underground, your device may display a notification indicating that the app will get access to sending SMS messages, and that “this may cost you money.” At this time, SMS verification is only used by the Amazon Appstore in selected regions and is not required if you have an account on Amazon.
