Started watching the boys and being forced to watch on my desktop as mobile app has constant skipping due to terrible hardware acceleration. Netflix, Disney+ and Youtube run fine yet prime doesn't. Also tried downloading and it still happens. S20+ for those curious. Also yes turning off hardware acceleration fixes it but the quality goes down to 240p.

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

not had any issues with it across my devices.

 

[PSYGN]

Amazon isn't exactly known for having competent UI/UX so it's no surprise if things aren't as well thought out or performant.

 

[MastaKiiLA]

No issues for me, but I do prefer the Disney and Netflix UIs more.

 

[akimbo009]

It is dark as fuck - everything has crushed black or is overly shadowed. Annoying.

 

[Mihos]

I have issues at all with Prime... I have audio cutouts with Disney plus, though

 

[Woffls]

Not really had a problem with the playback, just the trash user experience when trying to do literally anything.

 

[Days like these...]

Looks fine never had an issues maybe it's your phone?

 

[Tams]

I've only used the Windows app, which was laggy for me for a long time, but it's fine now.

So where's the money going eh?

 

[BennyBlanco]

I kinda like it but it is pretty ugly. The feature where it shows you what actors are on screen when you pause it is kinda neat.

 

[Wildebeest]

So where's the money going eh?

Goes on firing people when they burn out from working at an unsustainable pace and hiring replacements.

 

[ShirAhava]

Its a lot better than it used to be.....still bad tho

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

No issues here. Content tho.. But thats unfair

 

[Kev Kev]

All the streaming services have there ups and downs. Some of them work better on different platforms (PC/Mac, smart TV, phone, tablet, gaming console, etc). But they all work fine for me, including Prime.

Yep. It's fucking terrible, worse than HBO Max, and that's saying a lot.

 

[AJUMP23]

This has never happened for me for Prime. I have used my Roku, lg native, fire stick. Always had good picture.

 

[Mossybrew]

Prime has been great for me, then again I never use video apps on my phone, so through my PS5 and before that PS4 I've had no complaints.

 

[sol_bad]

God it makes me sad that people watch shows on mobile devices, laptops and desktops that aren't connected to TV's. It's heresy!

Yeah I watched some stuff on my tablet when I was in the hospital for a week. Outside of such extreme cases, I have no idea why anyone would want to watch a show or movie like this.

 

[Valedix]

I also downloaded an episode to see if it fixed the issue and nope still broken.

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

It's fine for rewatching shit like the office or seinfeld that you've seen 100 times

 

[Labolas]

Eh, I never had any issues with it. Then again I only use it thru my Amazon Fire stick.

 

[Drew1440]

Don't you have a smart TV to watch it on?

 

[Hydroxy]

I agree. The windows app is very bad. Mobile app is only slightly better.

 

[JordoftheDead]

I think the Smart TV app for Prime is shite too but the streaming quality is normally good.
