I am thinking of getting an Amazon Fire tablet HD 8. However, I have heard that Amazon restricts the apps that can be installed on it. Is this the case? Or is it just the Google Play store is not available? Because, I've also read that because it's Android-based, it is possible to install Google Play Store.
Can APKs be downloaded/installed from other sources? Specifically, I need to know if particular apps are available on it (FlipAClip, Soundtrap) as not having these would be a deal breaker.
