Of course, what we want is to get rid of the problem so that you may continue using the app to shop online and conveniently. With all that being said, here are the things you could do to try and fix this problem…

First Solution: Reboot your Galaxy Note 8

If Amazon Shopping crashed for the first time since you started using it, then it’s possible the problem is minor that a result of a minor glitch in the system. Before doing anything, you should first reboot your Galaxy Note 8. It’s easy to do, safe for your phone and effective in dealing with issues that occur without apparent reason or cause. So, hit that power button and reboot your phone. After this and the app still crashes, you should try doing the Forced Reboot. It basically offers the same benefits as with the normal reboot but it’s more effective as it refreshes your phone’s memory but simulating battery disconnect. To do this, press and hold the Volume Down button and the Power key at the same time and keep them held down for 10 seconds or until the phone restarts.

If the problem continues to bug you after this, then move on to the next solution.

Second Solution: Reset Amazon Shopping

By reset I mean clearing its cache and data. It’s called a reset because it brings the app back to its default settings as well as delete all caches and files it created. When an app crashes, it’s possible that one of the files it’s using got corrupted that’s the reason why you have to delete them. After clearing the cache and data, the system will recreated those files so that the app could work properly again. Here’s how you do it:

1. From a Home screen, touch and swipe up or down to display all apps.
2. From a Home screen, navigate: Settings > Apps.
3. Tap App Manager.
4. Locate then tap Amazon Shopping.
5. Tap Storage.
6. Tap CLEAR CACHE.
7. Tap Cached data.
8. Tap CLEAR.
9. Reboot your phone to refresh its memory.

Most of app-related issues are fixed by this procedure so I hope that yours are also fixed by this. If by any chance the problem continues after doing this, then you must do the next procedure.

Third Solution: Uninstall Amazon Shopping and reinstall it

There are times when apps crash due to compatibility issues with the firmware and more often we suggest to our readers to update apps that have problems because their developers may have already rolled out an update. However, there’s a better way to address such issues and that’s to uninstall the app from your phone to remove all its associations with the firmware and other apps as well as delete all the files it created or accumulated. Needless to say, you want to wipe off its traces from your phone. And here’s how you do that in this case…

1. From a Home screen, touch and swipe up or down to display all apps.
2. From a Home screen, navigate: Settings > Apps.
3. Tap App Manager.
4. Locate then tap Amazon Shopping.
5. Tap UNINSTALL.
6. Review the notification then tap OK to confirm.
7. Reboot your phone to refresh it’s memory and other connections.

After the phone has restarted, it’s time to download and reinstall Amazon Shopping into your phone and this is how you do that…

1. From a Home screen, touch and swipe up or down to display all apps.
2. Tap Play Store.
3. Type ‘amazon shopping’ in the search box.
