I had a similar issue with certain apps on Ubuntu 16.04 after updates, and it turned out to be more about compatibility than the app itself. One thing that helped me was running updates through the terminal instead of relying only on the store. At the same time, I was working on SEO projects and needed tools like a website authority checker at https://websiteseochecker.com/domain-authority-checker/, so I kept my system stable by using lighter apps or browser-based tools. You might want to check if the Amazon app is still officially supported on that version or try accessing it through a browser as a workaround.

Experiencing an Amazon app crash can be frustrating, especially when trying to download or access content from other sites like thepoppytim at https://thepoppytime.com/. Sometimes app crashes are linked to system conflicts or memory issues caused by third-party apps, so checking for any interactions with sites like thepoppytime.com might help identify the problem and stabilize the app.
