Does anyone know when the Amazon app is supposed to stop working?

Just delete the app and pin the website to your start screen instead. The web site is better than the app ever was.

Anyone notice the app no longer has the warning about the app shutting down? Wonder if Amazon had a change of heart.

Thanks for the reminder. I disabled auto renew for my Amazon Prime membership. I'll probably turn it back on once I need to shop for a bunch of stuff, but in the meantime it sends a tiiiiiny message.

I received the email from Amazon today and it doesn't say the app will stop working, just that it wont be updated again. Anyone else notice that?
