    Convinced you’ve run out of things to watch? Amazon Prime Video may be able to prove otherwise. The app is brimming with brilliant films, dramas, and comedies, as well as sports and children’s TV, all available to watch on demand. We love the ultra-high-quality 4K streaming and the slick UI. Oh, and the ability to create multiple user profiles and download series to watch later. There are also hundreds of Amazon Originals to check out—great series and films produced by Amazon Studios that you won’t find anywhere else.

  • Good catalog, Vision Pro app needs work

    The app was clearly designed for touch and not eye tracking. While watching media, the play/pause button hit area highlights a square in the middle of the screen and un-highlights when you look away. It’s very distracting. Clearly no one tried this in a real setup

  • Finally fixed Apple Vision Pro bugs

    It took them a little while, but they finally fixed the bugs that caused the box in the center of the screen to look white on the Apple Vision Pro, and it now functions exactly as you would expect. While a dedicated Vision Pro app would be ideal, this is now plenty good to access all of your prime video shows and movies. Just make sure that you have streaming and download quality set to “best” as the quality that looks good enough on an iPad just doesn’t look great on the incredibly screens of the Vision Pro.

  • Needs Proper VisionOS Support

    I really wish they probably supported VisionOS instead of relying on iPad compatibility mode.

  • No VisionPro App, no pip inside app

    Using the iPad App on VisionPro forces an iPad aspect ratio. It’s a rock bottom experience. Not to mention that on iOS and iPadOS, the picture in picture can’t be enabled within the app like it can on Apple TV, so you can’t browse while you watch something

  • Vision OS upgrade please

    If quest 3 have a native version, I am sure we deserve one on vision os too

  • Needs a Vision Pro app

    For a truly superb cinematic experience, Amazon Prime should consider creating a Vision Pro app.

  • “Editor’s Choice”? This App Fails Vision Pro Users

    Smooth Interface, But Superficial ExcellenceI’ll start with the one positive: Amazon Prime Video’s Vision Pro app is polished on the surface. Navigating the interface is smooth and intuitive, and I haven’t encountered any crashes or obvious bugs. Menus load quickly, video playback starts without hiccups, and the basic functions all work reliably. In terms of stability and UI design, it feels like a high-quality app. However, that slick veneer only goes so far – because no amount of menu polish can make up for what’s missing under the hood.No HDR, No Atmos, Only HDUnfortunately, the core video experience is shockingly underwhelming. Despite using a device as advanced as the Vision Pro (and paying for a premium Prime Video subscription with ultra-high-definition content), the app won’t deliver anything beyond basic HD. Here’s what I and many others have found:•No HDR (High Dynamic Range): Forget about vibrant highlights and deep blacks – the app never engages HDR, utterly wasting Vision Pro’s stunning display capabilities.•No Dolby Atmos or Spatial Audio: The audio tops out at plain 5.1 at best (often just stereo). Dolby Atmos and any form of spatial surround sound are completely absent, even though the Vision Pro’s audio pods fully support it.•Resolution Capped at 1080p: Even on a gigabit internet connection, with content that should stream in 4K Ultra HD (and does so on my Apple TV 4K), the Prime Video app on Vision Pro only plays in 1080p. The status/info bar during playback confirms an “HD” label when it should say “UHD”. It’s as if I’m watching a DVD on a cutting-edge headset capable of far more.These limitations are not due to my setup – I have the bandwidth and I’m paying extra for higher video quality where available. The bottleneck is entirely the app itself.👉 Amazon: It’s time to stop intentionally limiting your app. Give us an update that unlocks 4K, HDR, and Atmos on Vision Pro – the same way you do on an Apple TV or other platforms. Don’t make your loyal customers feel like second-class viewers on a first-class device.👉 App Store Editorial Team: Please hold apps to higher standards before crowning them “favorites” for Vision Pro. If an app isn’t taking full advantage of what the headset can do, it shouldn’t be highlighted as a showcase experience. By demanding better, you encourage developers to actually deliver better.Bottom line: Amazon Prime Video might be an Editor’s Choice on Vision Pro, but it certainly isn’t a user’s choice in its current state. Until Amazon seriously improves the app’s playback quality, this remains a one-star experience from a underwhelmed Vision Pro owner.
