Amazon Expands Prime Video Downloads to iOS and Android Platforms

Amazon today announced that Prime members in the U.S., U.K., Germany and Austria will now be able to download movies and TV episodes, including award-winning Amazon Original Series, to iPhones, iPads and Android phones and tablets for offline viewing, at no additional charge. Amazon Video is the only online subscription streaming video service that enables downloads of titles, meaning unlike other subscription streaming services such as Netflix, Prime members can enjoy movies and TV shows as part of their membership even when they don’t have an internet connection available.

“There’s no doubt that the way people watch entertainment is changing–anytime, anywhere viewing is important and we are excited to provide our Prime members with offline viewing capabilities on iOS and Android platforms starting today,” stated Michael Paull, Vice President of Digital Video at Amazon. “We are proud to be the first and only online subscription streaming service that enables offline viewing–on vacation, in a car, at the beach, on a plane, wherever our Prime members want to watch they can, regardless of internet connection.”

The Amazon Video app for iOS has been updated to include Prime Video downloads. For more details on what’s new and to download the app, visit: http://amzn.to/1IBFZlU.

Later this year, Prime members and customers will also have instant access to the complete Amazon digital video store while flying JetBlue.
