  • Jason Noles

    I’ve been having problems with my prime video account. I can’t figure out why! All connections are good and am able to watch everything else on my TV. I do not understand what the problem could be! Help!

  • Greg Black

    Indianapolis IN The music screen/icons have been updated recently. Music stops playing randomly. Annoying. Anyone else having this issue?

  • Ilene

    No sound on amazon prime video

  • Brad

    Amazon prime is down here houma la for few days now

  • for 10 days now the Prime movies have been having problems when Playing in any Roku device. and, I contacted Amazon support and within 45 minutes I was passed around to tech support people at least 6 different tech support people at Amazon. When I asked them to stop passing me around like I was garbage; they got short and hateful with me. Each time the switched me they made me repeat my entire issues from the beginning. I was passed around 3 more times. Still no fix at all. I have done factory resets, register and deregister and register devices, ensured all system updates were fine, etc. nothing works. So tonight I have decides to file complaints with my state atty general as Amazon took money and have not fulfilled their contract with me as a paid prime subscriber. I also intend to engage the US Consumer Protection Agency and FCC as they are a streaming media and communications provider.

    Hope that my State Atty Gen did to eBay and Paypal they do to Amazon

  • I do Sally. Tech support is useless. I contacted my State Atty General as they are hard a$$ over companies like Amazon taking money and not deliver. Jeff B cannot buy off everyone and my State Gen is one you cannot buy as he is a relative as well

    Amazon prime video streaming app is horrible. The sound never matches up with the video and when I use Bluetooth the sound becomes distorted or cuts out or it just stops working. It’s not my internet because I have lightening fast fiber optic internet with speeds of 100 for downloading/uploading. I also have problems when the video I’m watching pauses on its own. This app needs a lot of work. The rewind and fast forward feature could use a 10 or 30 second rewind/fast forward feature too. It’s light years behind other video streaming apps.

  • Gathy Tyree

    Prime video streaming froze up in the middle of rental video

  • Gina OMarrow

    The amazon prime video app is horrible. The sound cuts out constantly and the video stops playing. Whoever built the app did a terrible job. The app is light years behind all of the other video steaming apps. It needs a lot of work. I have lightening fast fiber optic internet with download/upload of 100 mb, and a brand new smart TV, so I know that’s not the problem.

  • Heather McNeil

    Bend, OR. Haven’t had Amazon Prime Video for 3 days. Netflix works fine. So I’m paying for a service I’m not receiving. Clever.

  • Blackbeard

    Down right now on the UWS in New York City. This is second day. Netflix is fine so the problem isn’t on my end.

  • Lynda K

  • Elizabeth Scaife

    Had to happen today when the US open started can’t even get I to on my iPad not happy

  • Margarita

    It seems like every time I sit down to watch a movie Amazon video is down. It’s not my internet or speed. I just replaced a modem box due to this problem.

  • Ziva David

    Accessing the subtitle controls while playing Prime video causes my iPad screen to freeze…every single time. Anyone have a solution for this?! Getting help from Amazon is like pulling teeth…. the death of customer service is doing most businesses in. I go back and forth, trying to shop locally, but keep running back to Amazon in horror. Then Amazon screws up and I return to brick and mortar. Both can really suck at times. Frustrating.

  • Phillip Cooley

    Amazon is down saying I have connection problems, Netflix seems to be doing just fine.

  • Hollis Hanover

    intermittent audio out, intermittent video freeze and audio continues. So far not so on Netflix, Hulu.

  • BiancaH

    Picture freezes but sound continues. Picture continues but sound goes off. A bar came up said video will continue when connection improves but I have no problems with any other app.

  • Amanda

    Currently having issue with the sound cutting out, luckily I always keep subtitles on so when it cuts out I don’t miss out on the words but I can’t always look at the screen.

  • Suzannah Troy

    Same problem watching the Boys

  • Fredric Lawrence

    Shows do not stay on. They go down in the middle of the show. Our internet connection is good and works fine so it is not that.

    I went through EVERY movie & tv show I’ve purchased on amazon, 73 of them go to purchase options and only 30 work (for now). I’ve done everything to try & get it to sync including talking to their “customer support” with no luck. Something’s up and they’re trying to keep it hidden.

  • Ray

    Wow prime is not working in Texas either, WTH..the least they can do is notify the public, instead of the public going crazy trying to find a solution to their issues

  • Jhyrup

    Have a new Amazon prime subscription, yesterday I started using prime video on my ruku box boots up fine everything works but, after I select a movie it plays for about 20min and freezes and kicks me off app. Happens over and over again. Makes watching a movie frustrating. I have reset my box and updated my app with no success. Anybody else having this issue.
    New to Amazon, not very impressed with Amazon prime Video.

  • Splaticus

    I have Netfix and Amazon prime. I NEVER have a problem with Netflix but have many problems with Prime. Prime if used for about 4 hrs or more or if you leavit on will eventually fill up the buffer in your smart TV, making it necessary to unplug the TV for a few minutes then power up. The sound and video often go out of synch if you pause the video any length of time. Also I have “that video is unnavaillable at this time” The Prime technicians think that have you unplug your TV to fix their poor product is acceptable. They want you to power down to fix the out of synch problem too. As I mentioned I have NEVER had any of these problems on NETFLIX and I run NETFLIX at the highest resolution possible. I have Rogers high speed internet and it downloads at 300+ mbs which is waaay faster than I need to stream. PRIME also has a ton of crap old shows, shows that never made it past the first season and they also pad their content by showing every season of say am eight season show seperately. They now have added channels that are not Prime but for a %4 fee you can add them and the show all these shows on those channels.

  • Colt

    I too have been having the same problem with the prime video app on my Roku….I have found a perfect solution though…I went out and bought an Amazon Firestick..Problem solved..Yeah!!

  • Victor Cachat

    Amazon pestered me forever to try Prime Video.
    I finally started today.
    Watched 20 minutes of “The Boys”, then stopped it and shut off the TV.
    Now I get an error message saying the service is “no longer available on this device”.

    I tried.
    Cancelling Prime tomorrow.

  • SunnyJohansen

    Yes, if someone must watch Roku, best to get a Fire Stick and use THAT to watch your Roku. My Stick has been trouble-free.
