As a German prime customer I recently cancelled. Mostly because next day shipping didn't work 75% of the time and I was unable to find the appropriate form to complain about this.
Also, all their apps are crap. Prime Video has a 300ms audio delay on my Android TV and chromecasting to said TV has an even worse delay. Their app is also extremely clunky to use and on top of that it's super slow on all my devices. It also kills all other running apps on my TV because it's so memory hungry. Sending feedback doesn't help, it's a lost cause.
Their music streaming app sent me to Spotify years ago because it crashed all the time and was slow, too.

We have to pause the show for a couple seconds and then start it back up to get it back in sync. It's totally annoying.

Casting to a 2nd gen Chromecast from the prime video Android app works just fine for me. I don't expect a built in function to the TV to be even remotely useful and have yet to see one that is snappy and not crap.
- foepys 7y agoUntil a few months ago, Chromecasting wasn't even an option, so their only app didn't work on a device where Netflix, YouTube, VLC, Kodi, etc. are working just fine. Amazon can build backend infrastructure but their frontend is always bad. I have never used a single Amazon app that was well made, simple to use, and resource efficient.
