My initial purchase of Domopad Pro was from a non-Fire android device, so I'm not sure. I have purchased other Android apps using Google Play on the Fire tablets though, so I wouldn't suspect there to be a problem.

Sadly, there is no known way to disable the lock-screen without rooting. For the past several versions of FireOS, there has been no way to root the device without bricking it completely, that holds true for the current 5.4.0.0 version shipping as of June 2017. I wish that Amazon would allow the lock screen to be disabled on devices that have had the ad-removal fee paid. As I've mentioned before, the lock-screen (and even the lock-screen ads) are a minor annoyance, but in my case once the tablet has launched DomoPad, that or another app stays active and it's never noticed unless the power goes out.
