Great content for everyone

While Netflix and Disney+ possess key strengths that help them dominate the market, Amazon Prime Video for Android manages to attract a growing audience by producing original and critically acclaimed video content. Perfect for cinephiles on the lookout for fresh content, it features movies from top filmmakers and TV shows with gripping narratives and grand productions. A few samplers you can stream include “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,” “The Boys,” “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” and “Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan.”

International originals like “Last One Laughing” and “Mirzapur” also form part of the exclusive content the streaming service offers. In addition, the app hosts a vast collection of movies and TV shows, most are considered classics in their own right, while some are not up to much. Sports events from different time zones are also included for the sports fanatics. Although the collection is far from ideal, the diversity of choices from a wide range of genres means there is something for someone to enjoy.

A range of useful features

Amazon Prime Video comes with handy features that can help you pick the perfect movie for your taste or a binge-worthy TV show to kickstart your week. It employs a smart and efficient algorithm that provides personalized recommendations based on your preferences. In short, the more you stream a particular genre or content with similar themes, the more you can discover related movies and TV shows. What’s more, the app features the IMDb-powered X-Ray, where you can access behind-the-scenes exclusives and other bonus material.

When on the go, you can easily download your favorite shows so you can watch or rewatch them offline in your free time. Meanwhile, if you’re in the mood for a movie night, you can cast your mobile device to the big screen with Chromecast or Fire TV for that home-theater vibe. Distance is also not a problem, as you can organize an online watch party when you’re away. While the app is easy to use in general, some tools and features are not optimized for quick access.

Underdog no more

Choosing the best streaming platform to suit your lifestyle can be overwhelming with all the choices on the market. If you find Netflix or Disney+ too mainstream for your taste, then Amazon Prime Video has an offer for film connoisseurs that is hard to resist. For years, this streaming service has been overlooked, but now it is gaining steady traction for offering highly acclaimed original content.
