The Alexa Skills Store now has more than 100,000 voice apps

The Alexa Skills Store — where Alexa users can browse, view, and manage third-party apps and services — now has over 100,000 apps, up from 90,000 in April and 80,000 in February. That’s according to Amazon, which revealed the updated metric during a press conference this morning in Seattle.

At least a portion of those tens of thousands of new apps were submitted by U.S.-based Echo owners, who recently gained the ability to publish skills built atop Skill Blueprints — templates that don’t require coding knowledge — in the digital storefront. Like any other app, these are publicly viewable and can be used, rated, and reviewed by the larger Alexa community.
