Productivity Apps

Hi everyone.

I'm new to Android technology. I recently won a Kindle Fire in a contest. I was disappointed to learn that there are so many apps that are unavailable in the Amazon App store. I've been a used of the program Producteev on my Mac for over a year now. I really wanted to install it on my Fire. Alas, Amazon does not have it in their store.

I've learned a lot over the past few days about rooting and sideloading. I do not trust myself in rooting my device. I'd rather just sideload the non-amazon apps.

In short, would anyone be willing to get a hold of the Producteev .apk files for me? I haven't been able to find them on file sharing sites and I have my hesitations in trusting those sites anyway.

I would greatly appreciate this. Thank you.

Hello and welcome to the forums - thanks for joining.

The best place to get info on anything about your device is the device sub-forum... other users are the best to help you out, so you might like to try in Amazon Kindle Fire - Android Forums

Hope you find this place useful!

Good call on not trusting the file sharing sites, no telling what you'd be downloading (not to mention the potential legal issues).

Have you tried Getjar? It's a totally legit site and I can see Producteev is available there. I've only used Getjar a few times (and it was a while back) and iirc it allows you to download the apks directly.

It seems that GetJar only allows you to download apps if they are deemed compatible with your device. I tried to cheat by saying that I had a Droid Motorola, but when I was prompted to go to a specific site on my Fire, they could tell what device I was accessing it with. Thanks though.

Can you do it via your PC then copy the apk over?

I can't find the apk files anywhere online. A site suggested that I ask on a forum if anyone would be willing to get the files for me using one of their non-Kindle Fire Android devices. Apparently a semi-savvy person can get an app for their droid phone and extract the apk files from there, which can then be transferred to your Kindle.
