Anyone tried to download the new android app on kindle fire? Google play says the app is incompatible with my device (kindle fire).

Treehouse TeacherWe may need to publish this on the Amazon Appstore to make it easy for Kindle Fire users. Thoughts, Joe Steele?

- Just allow 3rd party apps ('apps from unknown sources' under applications)
- Install ES file explorer from Amazon app store
- Use the web to go to 1mobile market, download it.
- Once you have that open it up, search for the treehouse app and download it.
Just follow the prompts along the way and it is very easy. You will need to go to your list of apps and manually add the treehouse app to 'Home' if you want the icon to show up on your home screen. Also, don't forget to turn off apps form unknown sources when you are done. Good luck!
