Amazon version delay in comparison with Android Market

[dmitrykos]

I would like to say sorry to all Amazon clients who bought Neutron through Amazon. There is a problem with new versions being delayed. Neutron's new version is released simultaneously on Android Market, Amazon and Neutron's Web site.

The delay is caused due to Amazon's policy to review (manually?) each new version of the application. As a result such tremendous delays are caused.

Writing to Amazon each time does improve the speed of version release to market but not always.

Amazon's review times are very much different. Sometimes it takes them 1 day to review update and put it to App Store, sometimes it takes 1.5 weeks! They informed me that their maximum review period is up 2 weeks.

> Please update the activation page to inform people of the lag.

If you mean Amazon's page, then again they are editing info not me, moreover they select what info to show and what not, unlike in Google's Android Market where I can make updates with their immediate presence and can edit and present and information about app. Amazon is trying to maintain quality of app presentation but it is inconvenient for devs

Hello,
is it possible to move Neutron I bought on Amazon, on googleplay?

Unfortunately these are completely different app stores. Moreover Amazon does not provide any tools for the developer to make refunds (unlike on Google Play), so I could refund Amazon purchase and you could later buy on Google Play, unfortunately this is not possible

it's okay, thank you

Hello,

Neutron was removed from the amazon's market ?
Because I can not find it.

So no more update for those who buy it on amazon ?

Amazon users please write to neutronmp@gmail.com for more details. The main reason of temporary (I hope) suspension is that current license protection mechanism is cracked by one of the popular cracking tools. I suppose not only Neutron will leave Amazon App Store if situation continues as is. Amazon is aware about this fact but I am not sure how fast they will react to this critical problem. So far there is alternative and suitable solution to the problem for Amazon users, please write.
