Amazon Shopping app not working on AndroidIf the Amazon app won’t open on your Android, it might be due to:
You can fix this by clearing local data, double-checking the network, or sideloading an APK. Learn more below. 1. Check the networkThis step is self-explanatory considering that this app is a client for a web store. It won’t load the content or won’t even open at all unless you are connected to a stable Wi-Fi or mobile data network. Therefore, make sure that the network is not the cause of the problem by testing it in other apps. If you can confirm that there are no network issues and all other apps work as intended, continue to the next step.

Here’s how to uninstall Android WebView updates:

We wrote extensively about APKs and sideloading, here. Basically, you want to uninstall the current version you got from the Store and install an older version from a trusted third-party source.
