That'south all fixed with i.0.2.0-Release, which is now live and working.

Amazon Prime Video rivals Hulu, Netflix, and HBO Max for online streaming and film playback. Like those other content providers, Amazon has been aggressively building its own original content to lure new subscribers to the service.

The brand-new app, a UWP one, is elementary but quite functional, allowing users to control the download quality for offline video playback, making it perfect for those road trips. Features include:

On our initial test, video playback quality looked decent, simply it was not quite Netflix-level. Still, we are not complaining, as any support for Windows 10 PCs is welcomed for these services. Hopefully, HBO and Disney will follow.
