I bought myself an Amazon tablet, thinking that the Amazon app store would be as comprehensive as the iTunes app store or Google Play.
Nope.
FML. This thing is being a pain in the ass. There are a few tutorials/online geekmasters that have tried to explain how to root devices to allow Google Play and other Google services. I've been able to follow some of it, but mostly I just don't have the patience/skill set to comprehend what the hell is going on.
I've been able to get a few Google related things to work, but mostly I'm still tinkering around, trying to figure out how to access certain apps, like Snapchat. Gotta send them nudes, yo.
