Streaming
Prime Video is an amazing way to watch TV shows and movies online, boasting an extensive library of films and TV series (along with exclusive ones!) available to stream instantly on various devices (e.g. iPhones and iPads). Amazon Prime users also benefit from free two-day shipping and other benefits – while other subscription plans provide access to original series as well.
Amazon Prime Video allows users to stream content simultaneously across up to three devices, enabling family and friends to watch different shows simultaneously. Furthermore, creating user profiles and controlling streaming on each device makes Amazon Prime Video particularly suitable for families with diverse entertainment tastes.
Prime Video’s X-Ray feature can be an invaluable aid when watching shows with unfamiliar actors; providing biographies and trivia about each one as you playback is invaluable for remembering who they are; it’s also great for familiarizing yourself with new actors before watching their film or TV show!
Amazon Prime Video’s Channels section is another amazing feature, acting as a hub for third-party streaming services such as Eurosport, Hayu, Britbox Sundance Now and Mubi. These channels are accessible by both Prime members and non-Prime members alike – many even offer trial periods or discounted introductory prices!
Downloading
Prime Video offers users a refreshing alternative to most streaming apps that require them to use an email address and password in order to log-in, with its Amazon account linked directly with payment information allowing users to purchase movies and TV shows directly through the app without entering any additional details such as their email address. In addition, its latest update adds a store tab at the bottom listing popular and new movies available to rent or buy — an invaluable asset during COVID-19 pandemic outbreaks when they were otherwise unable to access Prime Video site.
Users can download movies and TV episodes onto their phones or tablets for offline viewing using an app like WatchRetro for Android or Apple. Users have the option of saving multiple titles to an SD card if desired, and can select from three download quality levels: Best (the highest quality), “Data Saver,” or an even more data-efficient option called “Peak.” However, downloaded titles only remain viewable for a short period before being automatically deleted by Play R Retro.
To download movies or TV episodes, just tap their titles. A “Download” button should appear within their description pages – its exact location depending on your device or operating system – making the download easy with one tap initiating its progress and providing feedback of how much has been saved so far.
Parental controls
As more families adopt streaming services like Amazon Prime Video, it is becoming increasingly important for parents to set parental controls to safeguard children against inappropriate content. Studies show that exposure to such material can have serious adverse impacts on kids. Amazon Prime offers various parental control features which enable parents to restrict content based on ratings categories; to make this change visit the Parental Controls page within Settings and select Viewing Restrictions before selecting your ratings category(s) of choice as well as which registered devices it should apply on.
Your child can access adult content with ease by requiring them to enter a PIN for any viewing of adult material on Prime Video apps, helping prevent them from accidentally viewing anything inappropriate and wasting their time on screen. In addition, you can limit how long their Prime Video use each day so they remain focused and avoid excessive screen time.
An essential tip is ensuring your child’s profile is locked to prevent accessing other profiles and bypassing viewing restrictions. You can do this by clicking on the silhouette icon in the upper right corner and selecting Account & Settings; then go into Parental Controls, click Parental Controls tab and set PIN number for them.
Pricing
Amazon Prime Video App provides multiple pricing options. For instance, premium add-on channels like Showtime and STARZ can be added at an extra cost; these add-ons may come with no or limited commercials. Furthermore, Amazon now broadcasts some live sports broadcasts including WNBA games; it has a robust original content library including The Tomorrow War and Brittany Runs a Marathon films which have attracted significant recognition.
Amazon Prime Video can be streamed on multiple devices, from desktops and mobile phones to gaming consoles and smart TVs. To begin using it on these platforms, download and register for a free Amazon Prime Video App account with valid email. Once registered, log in and watch your favorite shows and movies!
Amazon Prime Video’s App can save you money by making recommendations based on your viewing history, supporting multiple user profiles (up to six in total per account), and even offering kid-oriented films and shows.
Users have often voiced criticism of Amazon Prime Video app, yet it remains popular among streaming enthusiasts. Cnet writer Alison DeNisco Rayome characterized it as “a companion service to Netflix and Hulu with different strengths in certain areas; weaker elsewhere.” However, she notes that it offers original programming comparable to other services on offer.
