Well, I'm not sure. I'm using Kindle Fire, which is Android-based, and in the Kindle app store it says the Kindle version is now 0.9.0 but I can't get my version to update. :\
EDIT: I had to uninstall completely and re-instll and now it's updated on my Kindle. So if they have the update on Kindle I think it's most likely out for regular Android.
OK, I'm going to give this a spin. All I ask is for it to not glitch out like it was for me with the previous Kindle version...please..
Yea, I have it on the Kindle Fire as well, and I had to do the same thing you did. Funny, I thought that the game would automatically update on the Kindle.
I know, right? All my other Kindle app auto update. Weird.
In the village I'm at I found 5 ink sacs in the blacksmiith's chest. This seems to be the only way they made it possible to make black dye in 0.9.0 in survival.
I suppose it's better than nothing.
Please if your a mojang Minecraft PE worker HELP ME!
Oh and also If you have these problems please tell me!
Yes, I'm having problems with bad lag, freezing and fast battery drain on my Kindle too (I haven't tried multiplayer so I don't know about that). I don't know what they could/would do about it. They didn't really design this update for Kindle--Kindle wasn't really designed for mobile gaming and so our version is kind of an afterthought. So I suspect if anyone at Mojang had any suggestions it'd be "get an iPad". :\
No. I have an iPad Mini and am having the same problems.
also the purple grass thing happened when i joined my brothers minecraft pe world on his kindle fire.
Not on my ipad
Yes, but Beta wasn't available for Kindle and perhaps few other devices. We had to wait for the official release.
Right, I was replying to a few other people saying that this isn't new and it's been around for over a month. I was trying to tell them that was Beta, this is the official release which goes all on devices supporting Minecraft.
It just gets meh all irritated when people dont think fully >.<
