Unlike both the Android app on the phone, and the web browser viewer, there's no way to specify HD resolution instead of 4K resolution on some content (e.g. The Electrical Life of Louis Wain). As a result, you can burn up 8x the bandwidth in 4K vs. 2K, which is a big problem if you have a bandwidth limit. This is idiotic and inept, and needs to be fixed immediately. Of course, given the number of bad reviews, and the fact that it's a captive audience, don't hold your breath.
Used to work incredibly well on the latest Shield Android TV: 4K video, DD+ (all the bells and whistles.) Unfortunately, the latest update is forcing the app to display only 480p. While on my cellphone, Chromecast and on supported browsers it does go up to 4K.
the entire app is suddenly barely functional this week on Chromecast, and it will not play videos at all. it just says "problem occurred" after watching the buffering circle for 2 minutes. I pay for Max and Paramount+ through Prime Video so now I can't watch any of those services.
New layout is better than original but there's too much unnecessary junk. Live TV, come on have descent selection of live channels, buy movies, oh wait need to get my phone to purchase?? Channel subs are a waste of time never much to watch on them, programs are not changed often enough!! Lastly you now have a separate app for Freevee, please remove it from this app, Freevee is for those who do not PAY for a subscription, so let them watch it on the standalone app not part of this app please.
Takes forever to load and when it finally does nothing plays. Keep getting error code 5004. It has been happening for months with no resolution. Seems to be an ongoing issue with the app on Chromecast devices. When you pay that much for Prime they should have it fixed quickly.
Terrible support on Android TV. The app sometimes crashes, returns to the TV landing screen. The lane positions reset when navigating back. Next episode markers are way off, sometimes 5 minutes before the end of the current episode. The screen saver forces the app to close. The app terminates while switching between processes. Most recently watched shows aren't listed on the dashboard. Subtitles sometimes default to the wrong language. The interface design is so bad, you have to navigate back to the top to search or switch genre tabs...
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.
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.
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!!
