Just 24 hours after Hulu appeared on the Apple TV and also a day after upgrading their Cloud Music Player service, Amazon released their Instant Video App to the iPad, allowing Amazon Prime subscribers stream online Prime videos as well as being able to download content for offline viewing. The app also includes Season Pass for TV shows, making episodes available for streaming the morning after the show airs on TV. The app will also resume where you left off watching from Kindle Fire, PS3, PC, Mac, or any device connected your Amazon Prime account. Another feature is the Watchlist, Which allows you to queue up individual movies or whole TV seasons that they wish to view later and then upload the list to the cloud, so you can add a movie on your iPad and then watch it on your Mac.
The App is great and runs very smoothly, but it does have it's caveats. For example, you can’t buy or rent new videos or subscribe to the Prime service directly from the new Amazon Instant Video app, or even search for available videos. Instead, you’ll have to have to conduct such transactions directly through a browser, then shift over to the app for viewing. Also, The App does not support AirPlay, So when you try AirPlaying your video, Your Apple TV will only play the audio, but if you will try to use AirPlay Mirroring it works regularly.
