Amazon outages and problems
In the past 24 hours, 964 user reports came in for Amazon. Counting only the 15-minute windows with a spike big enough to count as an outage, that comes to 100.00% uptime for the day.
The busiest 15-minute window had 22 reports, about 20 hours ago. That stays below our outage threshold, so it doesn't count as downtime.

How to fix Amazon not working
Amazon is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach amazon.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Reload and restart
Reload the page (Ctrl+F5, or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac), or fully close the app and open it again.
Try another connection
Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data. If it works on one and not the other, the problem is your network, not Amazon.
Update the app
Install the latest version from the App Store or Google Play. Old versions can stop connecting after a server-side change.
While Amazon is down: what to use instead
- Amazon website Open the full site in a browser when the app stalls.
- Help Centre Use the Help Centre in a browser if you need order support and the app will not open its contact pages.
- Card checkout Enter a debit or credit card at checkout when a saved payment method keeps failing in the app.
- eBay Check eBay for used or hard-to-find items if a purchase can wait.
Problems at the same time as Amazon
Since 27 October, all 4 of Amazon's spikes in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.
When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

How we track Amazon
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Amazon, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Amazon, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Amazon doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
