Before you switch

Should you replace Prime Video?

Why people stay 3

Apps cover browsers, phones, smart TVs, and major game consoles, with progress usually resuming correctly between them.
X-Ray provides useful cast and soundtrack details without requiring a separate search.
For existing Prime members, the video library adds substantial value without another full subscription bill.

Why people switch 5

The interface mixes included videos with rentals, purchases, and channel add-ons, making browsing feel like shopping.
Removing advertisements costs extra, even when Prime Video is accessed through a full Amazon Prime membership.
Regional licensing creates major catalog differences, especially for live sports and newer films.
The app can feel slow on older smart TVs and streaming hardware.
Seasons, formats, and purchase options sometimes appear as separate listings, complicating navigation.

Prime Video has a decent collection, but finding something good to watch can take forever. Max and Apple TV+ seem interesting, especially for original shows. Which one would you recommend?
