  • chronohart Chrono Hart (@chronohart) reported

    . @PrimeVideo, your latest major update of the roku app is terrible. UI is ungodly slow and it kicks out of what I'm watching to the details page way too soon when paused. I don't think it even gives me 10 minutes! Why can't you simply leave it paused?

  • mrmaity01 Sourav Maity (@mrmaity01) reported

    @PrimeVideo This is the worst OTT platform, other ott platforms are far better than you(I.e HotStart and ZEE5). Deactivating amazon prime

  • TheLuckLetter Daniel (@TheLuckLetter) reported

    @PrimeVideo @StrangeAcee @Minions How come Prime Video continue watching doesn’t work with Google TV on the home screen? Works with every other big streaming service aside from Netflix.

  • Sumitseema1 Sumit seema (@Sumitseema1) reported

    For the past 2 months I am trying to subscribe to Amazon Prime Video but can't find it. Payment is getting rejected giving some problem or the other. If it is not happening with you people. So closed your company. eat it easy @JeffBezos @PrimeVideo

  • audreyguerre3 Tristana03 (@audreyguerre3) reported

  • HarbingerMeh Harbinger of Meh (@HarbingerMeh) reported

    @WeaselDJ @PrimeVideo Except the first issues of Paper Girl were published before Stranger Things ever aired.

  • anechka3471 i love Jesper Fahey🇺🇦 (@anechka3471) reported

    @PrimeVideo your worst act is to cancel The Wilds. AS? I love girls, I love boys, I need a sequel. And you stupidly ended the series #RenewTheWilds #SaveTheWilds

  • KatharineLayne kate schneider (@KatharineLayne) reported

    amazon fix ur mistake @PrimeVideo #RenewTheWilds #SaveTheWilds

  • funnnysideup Adi Kav (@funnnysideup) reported from Hyderabad, Telangana

  • Unpoodi Anup Bagasi (@Unpoodi) reported

  • Prof_Pun Stefan (@Prof_Pun) reported

    @PrimeVideo What have you done with the UI? Awful, just awful.

  • Shonamoyo4 Straightnochaser (@Shonamoyo4) reported

    @Sconnie213 @netflix @PrimeVideo It is a real problem. I’m annoyed every time I’m in both those apps 🙄

  • Sumitseema1 Sumit seema (@Sumitseema1) reported

    @JeffBezos @PrimeVideo @amazonIN Because since last 2 months my problem is not getting resolved. But what is the option. That the subscription money will be automatically charged every month.

  • iamjustdalton Dalton (@iamjustdalton) reported

    @PrimeVideo canceling @thewildsonprime is absolutely heartbreaking and infuriating. This show had so much inclusiveness in its characters and the indigenous representation was so rare and so important. Fix this, Amazon! #SaveTheWilds #RenewTheWilds

  • 03Rldownes WhoTheFCares (@03Rldownes) reported

    @PrimeVideo @Minions Cancelled Prime subscription when you cancelled The Wilds. Easy fix to change that. #RenewTheWilds #SaveTheWilds

  • TEYAHOLLA TEYA (@TEYAHOLLA) reported

    At this point, I’m just gunna wait until a show has at least 3 seasons before I start watching it cuz these cancellations give me trust issues. @PrimeVideo #TheWilds …should I even start #papergirls tell me from now.

  • abhilashbheem Abhilash (@abhilashbheem) reported

    @amazonIN @PrimeVideo instead of doing so much advertisement pls work on customer issue. No point in taking prime membership. Even after 3 days on top of expected delivery date it is not delivered & as per @AmazonHelp raised one more order & it is the same. Worst service ever.

  • quarantinebeat 🔥The Airborne Aunty Pfah 🔥 (@quarantinebeat) reported

    @perfidiousSH @netflix @PrimeVideo I guess what I'm saying is that it's possible all your observations are correct, but not abt the cause- they are having a tough time, that's what they do to feel less terrible, they *are* depressed and the depression is affecting their mental space- but the shows aren't the root?

  • selina2twt Selina (@selina2twt) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @PrimeVideo I’m getting Spanish titles instead of English when trying to select a movie to buy/rent. Can you fix this glitch?#primevideo

  • Gare_bear36 Gare Bear+ (@Gare_bear36) reported

    Anyone with a Google @Chromecast with Google TV not able to play @PrimeVideo all of a sudden? Watched it last week no problem.

  • Gfox_1 𝐅𝐎𝐗𝐘🩸 (@Gfox_1) reported

    @lojakz @PrimeVideo Prime is the worst offender. They give no time between pressing play and blaring the ad at me. It’s actually instant

  • RelativeDPod Relative Dimension (@RelativeDPod) reported

    @PrimeVideo Can you please fix console apps so that there is more than 1 visible line of shows on screen to browse through, and not a preview taking the upper 2/3 of visible real estate? thanks.
