Amazon's new Appstore app carries the look and feel of their new Mojito UI to everyone Amazon's Android Appstore  has received a complete new look and feel in the latest update. Version 7 follows the dark UI scheme that they've been using for quite a while, and still doesn't have the standard Android app buttons and controls in the standard places, but it seems well built and responsive. In fact, it looks a lot like the Appstore on the new Kindle Fire HDX devices . This makes a lot of sense, and while we would prefer a more traditional Android interface, we can;t say we hate the idea of Amazon unifying their software across devices.

You can check for and update from the settings, wait for the notification, or tap right here for the new version. Thanks, Matt!
