I cannot complain about the technical issues like other users (it works on Philips Android TV), but since the last major update the UX has gone for worse. The whole UI is heavily optimized for tablet operation that makes it very difficult to use and navigate with a normal remote controller. Also, the language settings are not remembered, so each time a new movie is played, I have to go through multiple menus to set the language (I live in Germany but I do not want to watch dubbed movies with subtitles in German, but original sound with subtitles in English. In every movie that offers this and without reconfiguration each time I play a new one)

prime video - android tv Used to work fine, but now it plays everything in SD on my 4K TV. The web player and Roku work fine, Android TV does not, making the app pretty much useless. Contacted Amazon support, the closed the ticket and said engineering is looking into it and would get back to me -- needless to say, silence.

prime video android tv tcl In general, the app works fine on the new Google chromecast, but doesn't integrate itself at all. What's annoying is the recommendation algorithm, that is pretty bad in general and always recommends stuff I've already seen. What I really hate is the amount of ads between episodes. Way too much and, most importantly, always the same ones, that I've been forced to watch for hundreds of times.

prime video android tv mi box This app doesn't even stay in the background. I believe in energy saving, so I have my TV screen timeout at 2mins. If I'm away for longer, I expect the TV screen to go off and when I turn the screen back on, I want this app to be opened and resume the video. But it doesn't, it shuts down completely and even after manually opening it, it doesn't resume the video properly. This doesn't happen with any other app on my TV. And the navigation controls suck. Watch and learn from Netflix please.

prime video android tv not working It was working fine up until this week on my Chromecast with Google TV. For whatever reason, it now doesn't want to load videos unless I reboot the device first, and then it only works until I exit and open another app on the device. Once another app is opened, a reboot of the device is needed again to get it to work. And, it seems to take forever to actually load the video before it starts, when it does work. Not sure what changed, but it's not good.

prime video android tv internet connectivity problem My parents have a Sony TV with Android TV, so I installed the prime video app, and it worked for several weeks. But now it won't play anymore. The device is authorized, the account is not due, and when I rollback to the default version (that came with the TV) it works, but then it seems it is automatically updated to the latest version, so it ends up to the same point: I can browse, but when you set PLAY, it shows an error (Playback error).

prime video android tv quality settings THE FRUSTRATION! Brand new 2020 Philips smart TV and can hardly play anything on Prime. This is an application created by one of the largest companies in the world, right? Then why does it feel like a beta version created by a beginning developer? Keeps freezing up, playing the wrong episodes, "forgetting" where it stopped playing, etc. I'm not complaining about the content but what good is it if it won't play? Please fix this, it's ridiculous. Netflix is working very smooth, by the way.

Same problem as Jeff Hackman. The new version is unable to start streaming. I spend hours with Sony support, doing factory reset with no avail. I have attempted both wired and Wifi and this version will not run. However, when I connect via Wifi to Hotspot setup from my iPhone, streaming will work. I have also tapped into my neighbor's WIFI (AT&T) and it works fine. This tells me that the application probably does some network check and fails. However, any sensible software would print an error code to debug further. This application simply says "Something went wrong" with no other error code.

Same as others. Brand new 2020 TV. Amazon Prime Video does not play anything. It start with an error message, then it display Amazon catalog, and then it cannot play anything. To watch Prime Video content I stream content from my phone (with Prime Video app !) to the integrated Chrome Cast built into the TV. What's wrong ?

App itself works fine, but I run this app on a SHIELD TV PRO connected to an AVR and it more often than not only outputs STEREO when it should output SURROUND. My AVR supports everything up to and including Dolby Atmos. No other apps have this problem. Disney+? DD+ output. Netflix? DD+ output. It's definitely a problem with the app not evaluating supported codecs properly. I hope that Amazon are able to fix this problem soon.

This version of Prime is broken. I am constantly UNINSTALLING THE UPDATES on the tv just to get it to play anything. If the tv had an option to turn off automatic updates I would. Also, whenever I do uninstall the updates I have to register the device again. It’s basically a daily process if I ever want to watch anything on my brand new Sony TV. Lame. Get it together Amazon!

This is a poor quality Android TV app. It does not integrate well with Google TV, so I need to find the app and launch it to continue watching my programs. The app does not clearly surface content I have been watching, so it makes it discouraging to try to watch multiple episodes let alone seasons of content I want to enjoy. In Switzerland for some reason, many of the American movies are NOT OFFERED in the original language, instead DUBBED randomly only in German, French OR Italian. Even the subtitles aren't even offered in English. So the best Prime Video can do is offer Die Hard dubbed in German with Italian subtitles. This is not a service I'm going to pay for. It feels like it's been hacked together by a jumble of volunteers with bootlegged content.

Pretty awful; it's inconsistent and spectacularly buggy. It regularly forgets where you are in a series, sometimes not even resuming in the correct season or starting back at the beginning of the episode you watched minutes ago. Often videos won't start properly. The progress bar will randomly decide to show that a video lasts 24 hours. There are long pauses on a blank screen in the middle of things. Adverts are shown before things, which isn't really acceptable on a paid service. Videos for purchase are still obnoxiously mixed in with ones available on the subscription, but at least they keep to their own rows now.

This app shows exactly how a company that doesn't depend on the clients makes an app: bad user interface, bad user experience, always trying to get more money from you. How come I can't choose the audio and subtitles language that I want if on the web interface it shows everything?
Stéphane Martin
2020-11-15T22:48:00.757Z
This app is not user friendly, shows have to be added for each season separately to the watchlist (stupidly names "my stuff"). Once you reach the end of a season, it doesn't offer to watch the first episode of the next season automatically. Finding something to watch is based on luck, since suggestions are worthless. The player works well but lacks useful info and options. Subtitle styling is horrible and looks worse than players from 25 years ago. And having a trailer every time you watch an episode is a pain. An advice to the devs: have a look at Plex, it'll show you what a good streaming app looks like.

not sure, if we're speaking about different apps here, but contrary to most of the other reviews, on my Sony SmartTV it correctly remembers last watched episode, can show X-Ray and so on. And finally with one of the last updates it got the option to show "included in prime" only. So then why no 5 stars? - App is horribly slow, not only browsing the catalog, it takes about 10sec from clicking play up until the actual content playing. No it is not a network issue. And then: - before almost every episode there is advertisement, that you have to skip. Another 5-10sek. I am paying for that service, I do not want to be bothered with ads. - please bring back the visibility of the current quality option, even the phone app shows that. Thanks

Some decent shows, but worst TV app I’ve ever used. It can’t remember what time, episode and even season I’m up to half the time - sometimes dropping me whole seasons behind where I’m supposed to be and that’s if you can figure out how to continue watching in the first place. Even when I find the correct episode again, it can, at times, play a completely different one. Also having an autoplay feature that makes you wait 122 seconds for the next episode to start automatically is pointless. You’re a big company with stacks of cash, so pay someone to put credit markers or detection in and autoplay within 10 secs allowing the 0.000000001% of people who might want to watch credits to dismiss. Not rocket science really - especially when you’re surrounded by competitors who’ve nailed these UX patterns already.

- does not remember series, season and episode that was being watched which requires cumbersome navigation - can't properly restart already watched episode, since it starts at the end and almost immediately jumps to the next - does not save state when app is going to background, preventing easy continuation -owned material not shown on the start page even when recently watched With those fixed, it would be a good app.

App UI is very bad, first of all the app roll out should be like Netflix so that most Android TV's can install it. Amazon should discontinue this app and port the one on FireTV as it has the X-Ray feature and Video Preview. The Prime Video App on FireTV has a much Clean and Decluttered UI and is pretty smooth although it does have dependencies on the core apps of Fire TV as that App doesn't have standalone login. (Even though the specs of my Android TV are higher than the FireTV 4K and yet the Android TV app lags a bit)

(weird that i prefer it i know) 2 : for the love of god why does this app keep messing with the brightness of my tv? everything is so dark! then it lights up, then its dark again! i heard about this issue having to do with HDR or something, if that's HDR then no thank you. each of these two issues consumed 1 star off of my review :( Edit: forgot to mension im using an AirTV mini.

Video playback is decent, but none of the controls work. Can't pause, fast forward, rewind, etc. The only way to stop playback is to click the home button and exit the app entirely, which of course loses the playback location. So, when you re-open the app, the video you were just watching starts back from the very beginning. Very disappointing. Every other Android TV app works just fine - Netflix, Hulu, etc.

Video and audio quality is fine for me, really like the UHD quality on my Philips 4K TV. The interface is awful though: - Going forward or backwards is a nightmare. - Doesn't show me the last episode I was watching, have to navigate to the season and episode to resume (I think this feature used to be ok at first but isn't working well this last couple of months). - For some reason the subtitles turn off every few days, when I turn them on the default is Danish and I have to interrupt viewing and go back to choose English, no option to put English as default. I really don't get it how a company like Amazon can't get an app right, it's miles away from Netflix in terms of ease of use.

I am using a Philips 6500 Series UHD Android TV which is running at Android Version 8.0.0 which has no problems streaming 4K content via Netflix or Youtube apps. But this disgrace of an app is stuttering constantly even with streaming HD content, occasionally dropping audio sync, assuming my preferred app language because of the location I happen to live in (Germany-German). and not bothering to provide any options whatsoever to even changing it. Moreover, it even does not store (remember) my preferences for audio and subtitle settings or disregards them arbitrarily so that I need to go in and set it every time I watch something (even if I see the correct setting the program that happens to be marked with "dt/OV" where OV stands for "Original Voice", starts with German overdub for instance). I am not even mad at the abysmal selection and content menu as I can live with it if it was doing what it is supposed to be doing properly. That is to stream content on a 200 mbit internet connection where the TV is connected via cable to the modem. Terrible, terrible app... No excuses for this level of absent quality.

I thought the recent announcement from Amazon/Google said Prime would be made available on other Android TV devices but the MiBox S (MiBox 4) is still showing as not compatible. I'm glad that casting Prime from the mobile app to the MiBox now works but I miss the ease of using a built-in Android TV app and a remote. The Prime app works well on the Shield but most people don't have $170 to put a Shield on every tv. Please add the MiBox S one the compatible device list for this app..
Luis Aguilar
2020-06-24T01:00:10.638Z
The app was recently updated and once you're inside a series, the UI is much better and easier to navigate. There wasn't an option to skip recaps or intros before but that was added in this last update. They also added the option to go back or forward by 10 seconds which is way better than how it used to be trying to rewind or skip just a few seconds. The reason I only gave it 2 stars is because now I cannot skip the ads that play before pretty much every episode. This ruins whatever else they just added.
Graham Hughes
2020-06-05T17:40:40.838Z
Would be nice if the "settings" let you set something. Being locked on maximum data usage is a killer for those of us with limited internet access. I will have to stop using this app, because the excess bandwidth charges will make it prohibitively expensive. Other than that - people will complain a lot about the app, but it does the job. Just let us have the settings that other Android versions of this app have.

To add to the heap of discontent with this red-headed stepchild of Prime Video apps, here is another Prime household who has been experiencing stutters, lags, freezes, blank video, no audio, and...hmmm...nope, that's "it". Really, Amazon, we pay for your products, pay for your services (Prime, Video, Music, Cloud), have your apps installed on various other Android devices, yet the one device purpose built and purchased for apps like your SPECIFICALLY BUILT 'Prime Video - ANDROID TV', has nothing but issues with it, and with no other app. Please. Fix the app. It's for most of our sanity.

1) I paid for Prime 1 year term and its TV app does not have the option to change the video quality to reduce the data usage. Please add 560p , 720p , FHD and 4K switching option in TV app. 2) Sound Quality and Volume is is very low compare to other application. I needed to increase 3x more volume to hear the sound properly 3) Also, add better fast forward option in the the TV app.

I bought Nvidia Shield TV, and a major deciding factor is it appears to be the only Android TV OS set top box that has an official Amazon Prime Video app. This works flawlessly on my Shield. I was frustrated side-loading Prime on to other Android TV devices, and having audio drop outs, sync and other issues, but it is perfect on my Shield. Thank you so much Amazon for including this as a system app on Nvidia Shield TV !

It is unfortunate that Amazon is not making this app compatible for Mi range of TVs. As of now, there are many buyer who prefers Mi LED TVs over other, because of huge price margin. Due to incompatibility, the users are opting for some other contemporary apps such Hotstar, zee5 etc. Amazon Prime, it is time to come in liberalization age and make it available to all TVs.

Great content and video quality, we subscribe to HBO and Showtime thru Amazon because the stream quality is so much better than their native apps. Kind of a clunky interface and nothing like other apps on Android TV as some others have said, I also don't like how if a screensaver comes on when your show is paused it kicks you completely out of the app and back to the home screen. No other app does that to my knowledge.

Prime Video on android tv is not compatible with the Google Accessibility Assistant. Google Talkback or Sony Bravia's Screen Reader doesn't read anything at all in this app while it reads well in Netflix & Google video. Amazon Prime is fairly accessible with Voiceover on my iPhone but what stopped Amazon making it accessible on android TV platform . Not useful for blind users.
Steve Hoge
2020-04-08T16:08:01.880Z
Has basic viewing functionality but on my Sony Android TV navigating through content is awkward, transport controls are some of the worst of any streaming video app. However the DEAL BREAKER is very poor audio/video synchronization: the video lags the audio track by 200-300 milliseconds, making regular dramatic content annoying to watch but rendering music concert viewing pretty much impossible. The delay varies in real-time but the problem is common to all media on the Prime Video site. This performance is much worse than Netflix or Hulu (which has its own issues) but neither is as bad as this.

The only good in this app is some content. I'll base comments on my experience working as a Product Designer for VOD. This app is a good example of awful UI and experience design. Rewind timeline control came straight from 60s Search is not responsible. Why keyboard is so small when you don't use 60% of the space on the sides, imagine typing something sitting far away. User needs to go all the way up to access menu - it's unacceptable and badly designed. Overall it's good engineered badly designed awfulness that instead of helping, spoils my interactions with the content.

the app come inbuilt with VU tv, but appstore says that its is not compatible with my tv. Also cant find the app on Playstore on my Android TV. So cant update, and without update can't manage the resolution of the video. Please make it available on app store for all tv come with Prime app in-built in TV. So 1 star for unavailability of app and ecosystem on my device, will update to 5star when I get the resolution.

Now all of a sudden it says that it is not compatible with my TV. For so long it was fine, what happened? Please fix this ASAP!!!!!!

Garbage! This app stutters and hitches on a mid-range 2018 Android TV from a very well-known manufacturer. Netflix plays 4K HDR content flawlessly, so what's Amazon's problem? Listen, Jeff -- I know you want me to buy one of your devices to get the "best experience" with your streaming service. That ain't happening. Give it up and fix the app.

Installs on the AirTv Mini 4K but wont allow you to login your amazon account, its broken Update: now you can login, but after a while, you have to link the account again, looks like Amazon is playing games with Google again! Feb 26: got a new update, will report soon if the login is persistent of if Amazon kicks it out on purpose. changed from 1 star to 3, if its fixed, this will become a 5 star app! Feb 28: login is not persistent, after a while when starting the app again, you have to login again and on Amazon, your device no longer shows up. Something is killing the auth for this device on Amazon. Back to 1 star. March 13, new app, so far the login has been sticking in place, 3 stars, will report back later for any other issues, 3 stars now. March 18 : with the last 2 updates, finally the login is persistent! Thanks 5 Stars now!!

I bought an Anker Projector with Android TV. This App showed up in the list of pre-installed Apps. I never wanted it, certainly never installed it and what makes me mad is that I can't un-install it. Anker must have taken money from Amazon to try to force this App on all their customers. This is BS. Amazon Video now shows up in the list of products every time I go to install App upgrades but I can't use 'Upgrade All' because Amazon is always in the list. Please Google, don't allow vendors to force Apps on Android TV!

This app is severely flawed. Not only is there not a way I could find to limit searching for only video avalible with prime and video that is an extra charge, but also there is a poor way to sort and search in general as you will need to keep scrolling down to find the type of media you are looking for.

Not compatible with 2020 Sony TV model? I am stuck on the version now that shipped with the TV. Android TV home channel view stopped working with latest update. Uninstalled updates back to base app supplied with tv. This version shows not compatible with Android TV (Sony 2020 model) Seems strange that App was compatible with Sony 2020 TV and now this one is not.

Horrible experience, frequent but random freezes, "forgetting" if current position during freezes, which requires to start from beginning, stuttering and overall just bad. The usual app for mobile devices works much better, why does the TV version have to be so underwhelming? You know we're paying for prime, right?

It doesn't work properly on Nvidia Shield. This is shameful Amazon !! And, no, I'm not going to buy a Fire TV just for Prime Video, sorry for you! ------------- May 2020: it finally works on my Shield 2017 (Prime Video 5.2.6)! 1 star --> 3 stars, because I had to wait 18 months to get this version that works without jerks in the videos!

Prime on android TVs advertise HD/SD together under one ICON/Banner and UHD content under a completely different ICON/Banner for the same damn show. Why? For example: If you searched for the show 'BOSCH' on your smart TV, two ICONS will show up. One ICON will have all of the shows in SD/HD format and the other ICON/Banner will have the exact same shows in UHD format. But why? Why wouldn't you just make everything clean and simple within the apps interface and simply offer us one ICON/Banner for a movie (or TV series) and then provide us a simple button allowing us to stream it at the resolution we so desire. Youtube, the world most successful streaming platform in the history of man, allows us to select a you-tubers video and gives us an option within that stream for us to simply select which streaming resolution we want to stream at. Its a tried, tested and proven method which just works, and everyone is accustomed to it. Can you imagine if Youtube did what Amazons pathetic developers did and chose to upload all videos on their own page with the exact same content but each page had a completely different stream resolution i.e 360p page, 480p page, 720p page, 1080p page, 1440p page and 2160p stream page, it would be ridiculous. Luckily for us Youtubes developers aren't like Amazons, instead they're very smart and logical.

Despite the excellent content, the Android TV app is just horrible. Laggy, awfull navigation through the remote, sometimes videos will play without any sound, or will not play at all for no reason. Unbelievable that a company this size can make such a bad app.

Utterly broken since late. Running Nvidia Shield into a receiver which can handle up to Atmos audio. All apps on the shield work perfectly, from PCM over AC3/DTS to TrueHD/DTS-HD, even Atmos contained in either TrueHD or DD+ streams. Prime Video? Decides to stream PCM 2.0. No settings whatsoever to change or edit in the app. Utter garbage.

Let us decide the quality of the stream and let us see what quality we are watching. The quality of stream was available before update and it was removed in latest update. I know my internet is capable to view highest quality stream still it was jumping back and forth between HD and UHD. So allow us to force the app to play at max quality.

Works fine, but doesn't show up as a Channel on my home screen on a Sony X850D recently upgraded to Android 8. I've seen a Prime Video channel on other Android TV 8+ devices like Nvidia Shield, so I'm not sure what's going on here.

This app is basically failing to deliver the bare minimum, which would be a flawless video playback. Whatever I watch, there are recurring glitches and tearing present every couple of minutes and subtitles are usually out of sync by the end of a video, sometimes it seems even audio is out of sync. Apart from these, the entire UI is extremely slow, sluggish and just simply hard to use. If this wouldn't be enough, it is also prone to errors. Netflix's Android TV app is light-years ahead of this garbage.
A Google user
2018-09-03T19:11:21.200Z
Likes to stutter a lot, especially at first. The US Open coverage has been usless. Amazon Prime Video is not ready for prime time. When paused for more than a few minutes the app just closes and you have to hunt out the episode you were looking for again. Has no one at amazon used Netflix? You'd expect such a big company to come somewhere close to it.

Search is slow, the interface is kind of clunky, there are buffering issues when shows first start despite my TV being wired with Cat 6 to an enterprise grade switch and gateway/router with gigabit internet, the fast forward/rewind experience isn't very good and it usually ends up going over where I wanted it. They should take some cues from the Netflix method of fast forwarding.

After 3 years on Sony Android TV, video playback in this app still exhibits frequent stuttering despite my internet connection and home Wi-Fi delivering high and stable throughput. It looks like the app is suffering from severe performance and/or A/V sync issues. Activating the voice assistant brings playback almost to its knees. Navigating video menus feels laggy compared to the speedy Netflix with lots of annoying waiting times when transitioning between menu pages. This app is also awful usability-wise on Android TV. Neither does it integrate with the global (voice) search, nor does it integrate with the HOME screen, not providing content recommendations or any channel in Android TV 8.0 Oreo. 4K content has been moved out of people's sight. It involves tens of seconds of scrolling to get to the respective sections. Huge pain to use this app!

Absolute Trash! I have to resort to uninstalling and reinstalling this stupid app, including typing my email address and password out tediously with the onscreen keyboard and entering a code on a website to "register a new device" every second time that I use it, because it just shows a blank black screen when I start a video. This has been happening for a long time now and updates do not fix it. Get your app sorted out, Amazon!
