It is good, in the content is decent, but there are some things I would like to see fixed about playback mode. For one thing, it always starts in visual descriptive mode, which is ANNOYING. I have my settings for it to start with that off. When I pull it up it says that the normal audio is running without the descriptive mode, but the descriptive mode is running & the only way to stop it is to click on descriptive mode, and then click back on regular English audio track. EVERY. TIME. more
Good enough but not great! Nov 16, 2020

By RDWharley

I find the layout of the movies a bit awkward. I wish for example when I want to look at my watchlist it would show thumbnails on the entire page of nothing but my watchlist. Same with the different categories of watch next or any other category of movies. I hate swiping from right to left to have to go through a bunch of movies to find the movie I am looking for. Good enough of selection of movies, never enough. Like to see more foreign films and independent films. Also would like to see them get rid of the ludicrous restriction of the prohibition against watching videos outside the country. Why do they care if I watch it in Utah or if I watch it in Japan? I have paid to watch the film. They certainly should be able to work around this legal technicality which is absurd! That’s when I want to watch my movies the most, when I’m outside the country. Also I think they charge for way too many series and films when I am a Prime member. They vast majority should be free. more
Prime Video is for movie lovers, WHY??? Mar 3, 2020

By read_this_alice

First, you can get a 5 star rating to see how others are feeling about the movie you are considering. You will see right away the year it was made and who is in the cast. Second and my favorite, You can click onto the the cast and get individual pictures of each cast member and feedback on their film history. How many times have you watched a movie and wanted to know who played that character? Prime has made it easy for you to find out the name of that character you didn't know before. Third, lists other movies that people watched that had watched this movie. Often leading to another movie that was just as good. Fourth and fantastic, I can type in favorite actors, favorite directors, specific countries, to get lists of movies I would like to watch for whatever category reasons I want. Fabulous for anyone who wants to do film studies. You can type in about any subject and find movies that will fall into the category you want to focus on. No other video provider offers as many choices in movies, TV, documentaries, series, and anything else you can think of. They have made a point to cover just about everything a home entertainment app audience tastes and needs could possibly want to find. I am a 68 year old retired elementary school teacher and grandma who happens to be a movie enthusiasts. I hope this helps some people decide if Prime Video is for them. more
Good, but flawed Jan 15, 2020

By Monka83

I love the prime video app overall. For the most part it remembers where you left off on shows from device to device. I can save my favorites, and it recommends shows for me. The first flaw that bugs me, if I pause the movie with around 5 minutes left, and come back to it after the screen shuts off, it always skips to the next episode and cuts off my last few minutes. This happens on my Galaxy, Firestick and iPad, so I know it’s not my device . Drives me crazy. Next flaw is I can’t clear my watch history on just one show. I’m rewatching some shows and lose my place because it shows that I’ve seen all the episodes. I don’t want to clear my entire watch history, then I’ll lose my place in current shows. I wish this was a feature. If this feature exists, I haven’t seen anywhere to click to make this happen. Other than these two complaints, I enjoy prime video very much! more
good selection but poor app experience Apr 11, 2019

i thoroughly enjoy the selection of tv shows and movies prime video brings. add ons, especially the HBO add on just heightens my experience. despite this, the developers have plenty of work to do with the app itself. it works just fine on the tv but the app is another story. often when i start a new episode the pause screen remains while the video continues to play in the background. i try to tap to make it go away and nothing happens. i try to tap anywhere to make it do anything like press back to return the home page or press pause and nothing works. i even exit the app and close the tab and the audio continues to play in the background. even turning off my phone it continues to play for several moments after. at first i thought it was just my ipad since it was an older model and has a history of issues but i continuously had the same issues on my iphone. not the end of the world but certainly annoying more

I have several streaming apps and this one is the one I use most often. One of my favorite features are being able, at just a tap, to be able to pull up information about the actors, scenes, trivia, etc... And there's sometimes bonus features. I miss this feature on other apps. I also like being able to jump ahead or rewind 10 seconds to skip over things like violence or making sure I heard or saw something right. more
Jul 30, 2022

By John Lopo

Not very intuitive. The layout and visuals need to be simplified. Some shows come and go quickly so make sure you watch them in one sitting. Mixes paid and nonpaid content. So that is frustrating, offerings from other streaming services mixed in view. The app for playing movies has been jumpy and occasionally places me well in advance of the episode order or much behind. The movie app also does not slide easily if you need to go backwards after unintentionally going forward on mobile device more

It works, mostly. It's annoying that every show I watch defaults to using English with description (even though the UI shows English is the selected audio option). It's also annoying when trying to close the app by swiping up from the bottom of my screen will scrub / move the video instead of close the video, losing my place in whatever show or movie I was watching. more

Ok but some issues need to be fixed Mar 5, 2021

By BB8800

Enjoy some of what prime offers but it’s not my go-to streaming app as there’s just too many others out there with more content. A couple of things that I dislike about this app is the forward and rewind functions (instead of just forwarding or rewinding, it tells you you have to hold to forward or rewind and takes a few second before it actually does it, whereas other apps just forward and rewind right away). The other thing is it doesn’t always go to where you last left off. Finally, my biggest complaint is that I started to watch more foreign shows, particularly Chinese drama, and problems I’ve noted include audio and video not syncing, and the audio will go out completely in parts of the show. Would be good if these can be fixed. more
Options & Devices Jan 13, 2019

By Artistparachrist

I like the quality, features (on phone, your able to see the music that's playing during a spacific scene and all the main characters. Along with the seasons and episodes your currently on (if it's a TV show)), and I like the modern slick design. I don't appreciate the options (some movies you still have to buy or rent to enjoy) like 'The Grinch' among others for now. They have others available...that came out in 1920s but not the newer ones available! It has been frustrating that I have to watch on my phone for most of the features and am absolutely not able to watch anything on my laptop. I think it would be nice to have the same features available on Apple TV and so on. Lastly, it would be nice to be able to create multiple accounts for multiple people under 1 main account. Hope this helps! I look forward to seeing the changes in the future. more

????!!! — COMMERCIALS!! Jul 2, 2022

By Le Eminence

The ads actually make me want to watch less - not more. If I want ads, I’ll watch free Tubi TV. I can check out films from the library for free - without ads. Get rid of the bloody friggen ads for other shows, etc.. I want to watch what I choose! I do not need your recommendations. Most all of your recommendations have to do with war, hegemony, police mistreating people, stereotyping and automatic weapons being used against innocent citizens. Films about religion, which is “supposedly” about loving one’s neighbour, being used to justify mayhem and murder. These are boring! These are reasons why these incidents are more and more frequent. This makes this app boring! When are you going to show some real films about how people in other countries are prevented from being independent as a result of united states’ policies? How about a real movie about the families who had their children stolen during the ‘Chump’ residency and still have not had them returned? Show more films about people resolving issues, that are mutually beneficial to all parties involved. What about films that show people of various cultural groups forming life-long, generational friendships. This would make this a better app and make me want to use it more instead of considering cancelling the subscription. more
Jul 23, 2022

By so wo

This app is embarrassingly dysfunctional. It's impossible to get through a few minutes of a show without the playback stuttering to a stop, which does not resolve itself and sometimes leads to the app crashing or even my phone completely restarting. Subtitles are out of sync with the audio. There's just no point to using anything but the browser site. more
No longer usable with ChromeCast, multiple other issues Dec 20, 2021

By Kynard

Since the last update, the Prime Video app no longer gives the option to cast to the television with any device other than Apple TV. Fortunately, I have one, but the problem doesn’t end there. The app for Apple TV is buggy, freezing every 5 minutes or suddenly jumping backward to an earlier scene and causing the subtitles to go out of sync. AirPlay from the iPhone seemed like a way around this, but it is restricted for some content without a valid explanation (tonight the movie I was watching from a subscription channel could not be airplayed on the tv because it was a “free episode” while many shows which are actually included with Prime would work without issue (?)). As a result, I’m suddenly unable to use Prime, which WAS my favorite streaming service, reliably with my television. None of the usual remedies, such as reinstalling the app or resetting the modem, have had any effect on this issue, either with regard to the function of the Apple TV app or the availability of ChromeCast or AirPlay. If this obstacle cannot be surmounted somehow, I will have little choice other than to cancel my subscription. more

By Siafu Linux

I'm at a loss for words for a company this large! Tried to rent Limitless; couldn't from the video app. Tried from Amazon app. Nope, not there either. Had to go to the website. Rented it but had to start playback from the search result 3 dot menu instead of the movie info screen in the video app. What absolute stupidity! Why even have the app if you can't rent or buy a video from it. Just make everything web based then. Unbelievable! more
Jul 20, 2022

By Melanie White

The app works about 80%of the time on my smart TV. The other 20% of the time it may /may not open. It may/ may not let me scroll through viewing options. It may/ may not actually play what I select. Had to stop mid- show earlier today. Tried to start up again & it just kept saying 'something went wrong'. Finally gave up on the TV. Just tried to access it on my phone- can't even get the app to open. It goes to a strobe light flashing of the prime logo before cutting to the error. Frustrating! more
Jul 18, 2022

By David Harris

Searching and UI are subpar. There's a lot of optimizations needed for this app to go toe to toe with it's Netflix, Hulu, etc competitors. When I search with included with prime i should not be able to see rent/buy movies at all until i change my search. One button is all it should take. Second when backing out of a movie it sends me to the top of the main page. VERY annoying. more
Jul 22, 2022

By Allicia Faraco

Freezes every 20 minutes. I thought it was my phone, but I watched 2 hours of show on Netflix and an hour on Hulu without any issues. Everytime it freezes, I have to restart my phone. I've tried uninstalling the app, it asks for an update, I do that, but I don't think it's taking cause the problem continues and I can't even fully uninstall it. My husband's phone doesn't have this issue which is why I thought it was my phone, but on his we downloaded this app after the 14th.. more
Jul 27, 2022

By Dan Joyner

This is about the new Xbox and Android TV apps. Looks great, but some major issues that apply to both apps. One, the audio takes about 4 seconds to come back on after you restart from pause. Two, the subtitles are dysfunctional. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't, and at least once they spontaneously changed to a different language. Will update once bugs are fixed. Update: today the Andriod TV app turned itself on, which caused my receiver to switch from the Xbox source to the TV OS. more
Deceiving and an absolute waste of money. Nov 24, 2021

By DarlaSophieAddieCaitie

This app is super deceiving. It shows all the movies and tv shows that you could get by purchasing the prime package. After some digging, that initial purchase does not include all of the movies and tv shows that pop up on the app… you have to make ADDITIONAL purchases to get basically any movie or tv show that is worth watching, to add these additional streaming services/ ‘channels’ it’s about 10$ a month added on to the 12$ you already spend a month on the app itself…. So in a nutshell, it shows you all these popular movies that people watch and love and these super highly rated movies, but you can’t watch them with your initial purchase, you have to buy another ‘package’ like paramount, Starz, showtime, etc. I understand they are trying to make it ‘more convenient’ so you can stream all your favorites in one app but it’s deceiving and honestly is a total waste of money. Way too expensive when each additional channel is about 10$. Just my opinion though. more
Takes too long to switch devices Dec 30, 2020

By MusicChick94

I love being able to watch shows and the low movie rental prices. However, what really annoys me is the fact that they limit the amount of devices that you can watch shows/movies on but then it takes forever to update when switching devices. I can’t count how many times I’ve tried switching from my phone to my tv for it to take over fifteen minutes for it to allow me to watch on the different device. No matter how many times I exit out of the app or turn off the device it continuously tells me that my video cannot play because it is “playing on another device.” If they are going to be that particular about how many devices can be used they should update their software so it runs faster. I shouldn’t have to wait fifteen minutes to continue my show on another device because their app doesn’t understand I’ve switched and closed out the app on other devices. more

Great app. Only one small issue... Jun 4, 2021

By mikebatman742

I found that if I pause what I’m playing on the app only a minute later it will totally close whatever it is I’m playing. I have an iPhone so other media apps will linger in the background so that if I pause for a moment I can come right back to it where I left off without having to reopen the app and press “play” again. Also I can’t make it a background window on my phone without full screening it first which is another thing other media apps do right away which is odd. But over all it is not too inconvenient of things. Just little nitpicks that could make an already great app even better and rival other media apps! more

Some of the original series are good and they have some good movies included with prime membership. However, as others have stated they direct you out of the app to rent movies not included. It's a bit of a clunky user experience, not very smooth. It's similar to trying to buy music (albums or individual songs) in the Amazon music app. more

Second and my favorite, You can click onto the the cast and get individual pictures of each cast member and feedback on their film history. How many times have you watched a movie and wanted to know who played that character? Prime has made it easy for you to find out the name of that character you didn't know before. Third, lists other movies that people watched that had watched this movie. Often leading to another movie that was just as good. Fourth and fantastic, I can type in favorite actors, favorite directors, specific countries, to get lists of movies I would like to watch for whatever category reasons I want. Fabulous for anyone who wants to do film studies. You can type in about any subject and find movies that will fall into the category you want to focus on. No other video provider offers as many choices in movies, TV, documentaries, series, and anything else you can think of.

Trouble while trying to chromecast Aug 10, 2021

By Caioponce

I can see the app’s quality is improving with new updates but I’m always facing a problem when trying to chromecast, because the button sometimes simply won’t show up! While my phone is connected to the TV and I can cast all other streaming apps o have on my phone, prime video is the only one I have to spend half an hour trying to make it work! So I would recommend either adding a permanent casting button or at least adding another fixed one in the setting, because when the first doesn’t show up you can at least trying to connect the app to the device going to the setting and then making the app work again. It’s the third time I’m deleting and reinstalling the app because it won’t work even after almost thirty minutes trying to make the button appear! more
Was a fan,.. Still am just less now. Sep 24, 2019

By Darkwolvez

Have always loved your app. Was thrilled when you add support for the Chrome cast, love all your originals, and you have a great selection of shows. Then, you did the Netflix thing, asking if I'm still watching after a 2 to 3 episodes,.. Sigh,.. Most obnoxious thing ever. I work from home and have the tv on while I'm working,.. Insanely annoying to have to take my phone out, unlock it, try to remember which episode I was on (as your app only some times plays the right one when I get back on to it, if my wife is watching and she has watched past what I have it just goes to that). Then wait for the app to open, load up, find the correct episode, then start it over, as half the time it just restarts the episode, try to use the tiny bar to fast forward to where I was,.. Sorry,I hate this new update,.. 2 stars off, love everything else. more
Not ready for Primetime Aug 22, 2020

By michaelspringfield

App has gotten increasingly more and more unstable in the last few weeks on my 4K Apple TV. App hangs on loading. I have to delete it and reinstall. Auto play on TV episodes is hit and miss as to whether or not it’s going to work. There is no autoplay setting that I can find in the Apple TV app since the addition of profiles. While we are on the subject of autoplay, the “are you still watching” is a nice feature but has horrible execution. The counter is apparently set to trigger after a certain number of episodes instead of on a timed interval. When you have a 4 year old wanting to watch Sarah and Duck and each episode is only 6-7 minutes you end up interacting with the app every 20 minutes or so. It would great if it did a timer/episode which ever is longer. more

????!!! — COMMERCIALS!! Jul 2, 2022

By Le Eminence

The ads actually make me want to watch less - not more. If I want ads, I’ll watch free Tubi TV. I can check out films from the library for free - without ads. Get rid of the bloody friggen ads for other shows, etc.. I want to watch what I choose! I do not need your recommendations. Most all of your recommendations have to do with war, hegemony, police mistreating people, stereotyping and automatic weapons being used against innocent citizens. Films about religion, which is “supposedly” about loving one’s neighbour, being used to justify mayhem and murder. These are boring! These are reasons why these incidents are more and more frequent. This makes this app boring! When are you going to show some real films about how people in other countries are prevented from being independent as a result of united states’ policies? How about a real movie about the families who had their children stolen during the ‘Chump’ residency and still have not had them returned? Show more films about people resolving issues, that are mutually beneficial to all parties involved. What about films that show people of various cultural groups forming life-long, generational friendships. This would make this a better app and make me want to use it more instead of considering cancelling the subscription. more
Takes too long to switch devices Dec 30, 2020

By MusicChick94

I love being able to watch shows and the low movie rental prices. However, what really annoys me is the fact that they limit the amount of devices that you can watch shows/movies on but then it takes forever to update when switching devices. I can’t count how many times I’ve tried switching from my phone to my tv for it to take over fifteen minutes for it to allow me to watch on the different device. No matter how many times I exit out of the app or turn off the device it continuously tells me that my video cannot play because it is “playing on another device.” If they are going to be that particular about how many devices can be used they should update their software so it runs faster. I shouldn’t have to wait fifteen minutes to continue my show on another device because their app doesn’t understand I’ve switched and closed out the app on other devices. more
Prime video sync flaw Nov 22, 2020

By nckname1234

Overall prime is good, but when I purchase a video on my prime account the video does not always appear in my account. I access prime on my phone, tablet, computer and TV and yet sometimes a video I’ve purchased and am watching on my computer, or any other device, may take weeks or months to show up in ‘My Stuff’ on my TV, or any other device. When I try to switch between devices to continue watching a video the film may not be there or may take weeks to appear. I thought this was a one time thing, because it first happen about two years ago, but I’ve noticed it happening since then and again today when I purchased a video on my tablet and then tried to watch the video on my TV, the video needed to be repurchased, which I’m not about to do. I don’t share my devices with anyone so there’s no issue with my account being mixed with someone else’s, it just seems to be a syncing flaw. more
Can’t perform its basic functions May 1, 2021

By Meeks McGoo

Prime Video is terrible as a streaming service. Your account doesn’t sync, so if you watch something on your phone and try to continue on your tv, it has no memory of it and you have to go searching for your show again and find where you were. For shows you’ve never seen before, when you go to start it for the first time the app will randomly try to start you in the middle of some random season instead of at the very beginning of the show. If you stop a show with less than five minutes left and then come back, it’s gone on to the next episode automatically even though you didn’t finish the last one. Lastly, the subtitles randomly freak out and will just flash on the screen for a split second and disappear for huge segments of the show. A ridiculous amount of bugs to fix for such a popular and well financed service. more
Too much greed Feb 26, 2020

By nicknamesnottakenjustwanttostp

I don’t mind commercials in free videos, but if I can’t rewind if I miss something what’s the point. Every time I try to rewind It gives me a commercial. I can’t rewind the movie!!! All due to your greed. Like you don’t get enough of my money. We are already pay for the service you would think you could err on the side of the paying viewer, not the sponsor. Show the price of a video free, free with ads, rent or buy without making me go into the movie page just to find out I have to pay if it want to see it. I realize this is another ploy to force more money out of us, but come on. Do you really need to be deceitful for more money? Just tell me in the thumbnail. So I don’t have to explain to my kid why we can’t see the movie he wanted to see, and I thought was included in my prime dues. Put a dollar sign in the thumbnail so I don’t have to waste time going back and forth between the main page and the individual movie pages. more

By Joe Pare

The overall app is just very clunky and makes it much more difficult than it needs to be. When a movie ends, the app just closes. Considering the benefits of Prime, I guess it is ok, but not a great selection, it would be really nice if free and paid shows were completely separate, and the whole thing was much more like Netflix and how easy it is to find, store selections, and just tap the one arrow to get back to main screen. I would not subscribe to it without it being part of Prime. more

This app is embarrassingly dysfunctional. It's impossible to get through a few minutes of a show without the playback stuttering to a stop, which does not resolve itself and sometimes leads to the app crashing or even my phone completely restarting. Subtitles are out of sync with the audio. There's just no point to using anything but the browser site. more
No longer usable with ChromeCast, multiple other issues Dec 20, 2021

By Kynard

Since the last update, the Prime Video app no longer gives the option to cast to the television with any device other than Apple TV. Fortunately, I have one, but the problem doesn’t end there. The app for Apple TV is buggy, freezing every 5 minutes or suddenly jumping backward to an earlier scene and causing the subtitles to go out of sync. AirPlay from the iPhone seemed like a way around this, but it is restricted for some content without a valid explanation (tonight the movie I was watching from a subscription channel could not be airplayed on the tv because it was a “free episode” while many shows which are actually included with Prime would work without issue (?)). As a result, I’m suddenly unable to use Prime, which WAS my favorite streaming service, reliably with my television. None of the usual remedies, such as reinstalling the app or resetting the modem, have had any effect on this issue, either with regard to the function of the Apple TV app or the availability of ChromeCast or AirPlay. If this obstacle cannot be surmounted somehow, I will have little choice other than to cancel my subscription. more

I'm at a loss for words for a company this large! Tried to rent Limitless; couldn't from the video app. Tried from Amazon app. Nope, not there either. Had to go to the website. Rented it but had to start playback from the search result 3 dot menu instead of the movie info screen in the video app. What absolute stupidity! Why even have the app if you can't rent or buy a video from it. Just make everything web based then. Unbelievable! more

By Melanie White

The app works about 80%of the time on my smart TV. The other 20% of the time it may /may not open. It may/ may not let me scroll through viewing options. It may/ may not actually play what I select. Had to stop mid- show earlier today. Tried to start up again & it just kept saying 'something went wrong'. Finally gave up on the TV. Just tried to access it on my phone- can't even get the app to open. It goes to a strobe light flashing of the prime logo before cutting to the error. Frustrating! more

Searching and UI are subpar. There's a lot of optimizations needed for this app to go toe to toe with it's Netflix, Hulu, etc competitors. When I search with included with prime i should not be able to see rent/buy movies at all until i change my search. One button is all it should take. Second when backing out of a movie it sends me to the top of the main page. VERY annoying. more

Freezes every 20 minutes. I thought it was my phone, but I watched 2 hours of show on Netflix and an hour on Hulu without any issues. Everytime it freezes, I have to restart my phone. I've tried uninstalling the app, it asks for an update, I do that, but I don't think it's taking cause the problem continues and I can't even fully uninstall it. My husband's phone doesn't have this issue which is why I thought it was my phone, but on his we downloaded this app after the 14th.. more

This is about the new Xbox and Android TV apps. Looks great, but some major issues that apply to both apps. One, the audio takes about 4 seconds to come back on after you restart from pause. Two, the subtitles are dysfunctional. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't, and at least once they spontaneously changed to a different language. Will update once bugs are fixed. Update: today the Andriod TV app turned itself on, which caused my receiver to switch from the Xbox source to the TV OS. more
Deceiving and an absolute waste of money. Nov 24, 2021

By DarlaSophieAddieCaitie

This app is super deceiving. It shows all the movies and tv shows that you could get by purchasing the prime package. After some digging, that initial purchase does not include all of the movies and tv shows that pop up on the app… you have to make ADDITIONAL purchases to get basically any movie or tv show that is worth watching, to add these additional streaming services/ ‘channels’ it’s about 10$ a month added on to the 12$ you already spend a month on the app itself…. So in a nutshell, it shows you all these popular movies that people watch and love and these super highly rated movies, but you can’t watch them with your initial purchase, you have to buy another ‘package’ like paramount, Starz, showtime, etc. I understand they are trying to make it ‘more convenient’ so you can stream all your favorites in one app but it’s deceiving and honestly is a total waste of money. Way too expensive when each additional channel is about 10$. Just my opinion though. more
Kinda useless Jan 7, 2021

By no_nicknamebyme

Stuff just doesn’t play anymore. A 1 hour video- I give up after waiting half an hour of loading for it to play. I seriously have to download videos for any of them to play. I’ve been in contact with them off and on for the past year and the only thing they can come up with is, close out/reopen, reboot device, delete/download the app, none of this has worked. Now, nothing plays at all. It’ll load for probably 15 minutes then it says there was a problem streaming or playing the video. Last time it did that, it also said there was a problem with the devices internet connection. Now, there is nothing wrong with my internet connection because at the same time, I can stream stuff of similar duration on another app and those NEVER take longer than 4-5 seconds to play. Also when I go into account settings it sits there and loads for a lot longer than it should. BTW, same story on 2 of my iPhones and yes, I have the resolution set to the lowest level more

Streaming freezes up every two minutes on anything I try to watch in this app., with the audio still going, so, I keep having to tap the "go back ten seconds" button twice every two minutes, but, it was an hour long show, so, I finally got so annoyed that I didn't make it to the end of the show, much less the end of three seasons of a screen locking up every two minutes "on the dot". None of my other services do this, so, it's Amazon Prime Video's problem to fix! So the least of 5 stars til then more
