Does anyone have a way to make Amazon Prime Video not suck? Whenever I try to watch anything via Amazon on a wireless connection, it's a disaster. The app crashes constantly and can't seem to stay connected to wifi for more than a few minutes at a time.

Jessica, do you have a blu-ray player or another device that allows you to watch amazon on your TV? I've had pretty good luck with watching amazon that way.

I have an embarrassing number of screens I can watch streaming video, but I don't always want to watch on my 50" screen in the living room. Sometimes I just want to curl up in bed with my iPad.

Hey. New board.

The Roku version has never given me a problem, so I can't say. The Kindle Fire app was fine too, back when I had one. The complete lack of a regular Android Amazon Videos app has kept me from trying it on my newer (Barnes and Noble) tablet.

I wonder if they make the iPad version suck on purpose for a similar reason to why they don't offer a regular Android version - to get you to buy a Kindle Fire. If so, they're crazy, but I've not found Amazon to always make sense.

Yeah, if that's the case it's going to backfire on them. Betas is addictive in a trashy kind of way, but it's no Orange is the New Black.

I've watched a number of episodes of Deep Space Nine via Amazon Prime Streaming on two models of iPad over WiFi without a hitch.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I've been watching Alpha House streaming from the Amazon Instant Video app on my iPad to the Apple TV with no problems.

Hm, maybe it's my wifi then. Weird that Amazon is the only app it seems to be affecting.

What kind of WiFi access point are you using?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Try deleting the app and reinstalling it.
