Amazon Prime Video arrives on Apple TV in over 100 countries
- styfle 9y agoI have been waiting a lifetime for this! Ok that's an exaggeration but I'm happy Amazon Prime is finally available on the Apple TV.
- rizwan 9y agoGlad it's here, so I no longer have to Airplay from an iOS device. But can we talk about the UI? It seems Amazon's dumped an entire web renderer into the app (https://twitter.com/stroughtonsmith/status/938573618174464002 https://twitter.com/stroughtonsmith/status/93857361817446400...), and loading their "smart" TV UI. It ignores the tvOS human interface guidelines (https://developer.apple.com/tvos/human-interface-guidelines/app-architecture/accessibility/ https://developer.apple.com/tvos/human-interface-guidelines/...), discarding all the accessibility features and the focus model. I get that, to Amazon, the Prime Video app on Apple TV is probably not worth spending any time and effort on. But it's unfortunate for those of us that are paying the strategy tax and getting a "smart" tv app designed for low-powered CPUs.
