Google Play Store on Amazon Fire 10 HD
Discussion
I've finally managed to install Google Play Store on my daughter's Amazon Fire 10 HD.
Reason is that the standard Amazon App store has very limited offerings.
I've following instructions from this site : https://kindlefireforkid.com/how-to-install-google...
All seems to be working however the download process is very slow. It queues the download so can only download 1 at a time which is fine (just used to Apple iOS being able to support concurrent downloads). However one download of 500MB app is taking over 30 minutes just to hit 50%. This seems abnormal for my internet connection (75Mb DL).
It's definitely not my internet connection as other downloads on the device are pretty quick. I tried a test down of the tiniest apk app and it still takes a long time to complete.
I can't find anything helpful so far and being very inexperienced with Android products I'm hoping someone here could assist.

Find the APK for the app you want and download it.
Either google the apps apk, eg search google for "iplayer apk" or go to an apk site such as www.apkmirror.com
Then just install the APK directly on the Fire, install third party apps will need to be enabled.
