Why Does The App Refuse To Load?

The app may refuse to load when the Kindle has run out of space or when it cannot sync or update. If the Kindle app experiences problems that make it difficult to update, it may refuse to load.

If the problem revolves around downloading the updates, you will need to check if the Kindle fire still has some storage space. Lack of space makes it difficult for it to receive new items, including updating the existing apps. To fix this issue, you will need to clear the cache. If it does not solve the problem, it may necessitate that you delete any saved content or apps that you don’t use.

Also, the app may not respond due to poor wifi connectivity. Weak wifi makes it difficult for the device to access the Amazon Appstore. Besides, it makes it hard for the already installed apps to update or sync. But if you have whispersync software, you may use it to sync the amazon and Kindle Fire content.

If syncing is disabled, you can enable it by swiping the screen from the top down and clicking on sync. It allows the device to download content for your apps and install updates.
