It's a shame they went to Amazon instead of Netflix since Amazon's video apps universally suck in comparison (I'm especially looking at the Xbox 360 and Xbox One Amazon apps). Heck, you can't even watch Amazon Prime Video on your Android device without compromising the security of the device and enabling untrusted app installs.
- akilism 11y agoWhat's wrong with Amazon Prime on the Xbox One? I use it all the time and have had less problems with it than Netflix on the Xbox One... The android thing is annoying.
- stevewilhelm 11y agoAmazon's video app on Fire TV over XFinity Blast 150Mbs service is brilliant.
- 9point6 11y agoAlso, no Chromecast support is a deal-breaker for any VOD app for me.
- cmiles74 11y agoPretty much the only acceptable way I've found to watch is via their Fire TV Stick. I don't understand why their apps for other platforms is so bad; they are literally the last place I look before I give up.

- JohnTHaller 11y agoThat's my guess. Especially since they hold Amazon Prime Video hostage from Android users - even though we've already paid for it - until you install the Amazon App Store on your device and give it every permission under the sun.
- suvelx 11y agoYep. I live in the UK, have a Prime subscription, yet I'm probably just going to get it off the Pirate Bay because their software is such an ass to use.
- arnold_palmur 11y agoSeems to be the case all around - I have a "smart" TV and the Amazon video app is astonishingly bad. As a big fan Top Gear, I was really hoping the gang would end up on Netflix.
