no amazon kindle fire support!!!???? for app

If so what a big mistake. Side loading can be very buggy and not work sometimes.

No support for what?

The app is not on the amazon app store for the kindle.

Well, each additional platform they try to support adds significant time to development of the software. Everything needs to be re-tested on each new platform to make sure it still works.

FFG is not a software development company, so I imagine their software department is somewhat limited in size. As such, they needed to prioritize which platforms they were going to support for this app.

(Also keep in mind that every major browser needs to be tested independently as well, and they did say the app would be available online for the benefit of people without smartphones. So that's easily 4 to 10 "platforms" between Windows, Mac OS X and Linux alone. Then on top of that, you start adding handhelds.)

I'm guessing e-Readers in general were among the first to hit the cutting room floor.

Kindle fires are not e-readers.  2nd it's up today on the amazon app store here is the link for anyone who needs it.

It's not compatible with my Kindle Fire or Kindle Fire HD or my old laptop that doesn't support Shader 2.0. Guess I'll have to stick with the video game.

How about using a standard PC or MAC?

The .exe file can be downloaded.

 

A 20$ old second hand computer would do the job of running this app.

Your old laptop can't download an updated web browser?
