Every Sunday I bring you the list of new apps and games released during the previous week for the Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick. This past week there were 27 new apps released.
Sadly, it looks like the NASA TV app won’t get updated. My latest submission (some bug corrections) got knocked back because:
1/ the name was deceptive – it used “NASA” but wasn’t from NASA… just like the other apps in the store – even though the description calls out the fact it’s unofficial pretty clearly
2/ apparently it can be used to facilitate piracy or the download of illegal material. Not sure how playback of a public stream from a respect US Science organization falls into either of those categories!
Oh well, looks like despite #2 they’re leaving it there (for the moment) so feel free to grab it, rate it, let me know what you’d like changed (if I am ever able to update it – the pending version has a better treatment on the channel identification, and I am limited to whatever video/data NASA choose to make publicly available)
