Yes, absolutely.

I don't know if it is possible to make the Amazon app ask for a pin. I 
use that app but never to do actual purchases, I prefer the computer. I 
use it mostly to track when a delivery is arriving. When I make a 
purchase on the computer, the Amazon web page requires me to enter the 
password again. I wonder what the phone app does in those circumstances, 
but it should ask for some verification on any op that involves a cost.

I just looked and I did not see security settings.

Interestingly, the other day I tried a new tablet and it said the amazon 
app was not compatible. Why, maybe because it is not a phone?
