I don't think it would be that hard to add Scratch offline to the Amazon Appstore. I know I asked this less than a year ago, but that was before it was available on Google Play, which means it may work on Ipads, but it's nearly impossible to get the Google Play Store on a Kindle Fire. It would be really cool to use Scratch on my Kindle without an internet connection. Often after church we go to a restaurant and some restaurants don't have internet, meaning I can't do much on my Kindle while waiting for my food to come. I usually bring my Kindle into a restaurant if I either know there's internet or it's a restaurant I've never been to.

It's actually incredibly easy.

But unfortunately it is not available, as the Kindles are “not compatible”. I wasn't able to find it on any reliable APK sites either.
I think Kindle support would make sense, as it is a rather popular tablet. I think that it either needs official support through the Amazon App Store, or unofficial support through an APK download on the Scratch App download page (which I suggested here).

I think that this suggestion is a duplicate.

No, that one is 1. From before 3.0 was released, and 2. That one is talking about iOS phones mostly, which can use Google Play as far as I'm aware. (I don't have a phone, I have a tablet)

I believe my Kindle Fire is the 7th generation, which I got a few months before I started Scratch (mid-2015)

Idk if I did the quoting feature right, I've never used it before.

It would be nice if it did have official support. I think that the more devices Scratch is avalible on, the better. (I know it can be used online, however that doesn't work when online.

You didn't really, but that was a nice try. You click the “Quote” button in the corner of the post.

Using public internet is dangerous. People can use it to get your personal info, and other private details.

I was talking about the Scratch App, not Google Play.
