Amazon Prime Video subscription review 2022
I would rate the Amazon Prime Video subscription 8.3 out of 10.
With this subscription, you can create up to six profiles per account which is a great deal at this price.
Most of the contents are downloadable, so traveling won't be boring anymore. It is also accessible through VPN so that you can catch up with your favorite shows on the go.
If you have an Amazon Prime subscription, here's another great news for you. You won't have to pay any additional Amazon Prime Video cost to watch their content.
You can also access a free trial for 30 days. It allows access to the same content from 2 devices simultaneously. Since the contents are primarily available in high-quality resolution, watching shows became more thrilling.
While I was testing the app myself, I found only one thing frustrating. The titles not included in the subscription package are also there in the menu, which makes it messy.
Although it now highlights a blue Prime tag on movies included under Amazon Prime's subscription and a gold dollar sign for content that isn't included. When we tried to test it from different devices, they appeared differently on different devices.
Another thing that soured my experience of Amazon Prime Video subscription was the trailers of some other shows were popping up in between the shows I was watching. Unfortunately, the DVR option is also missing from the Amazon Prime Video app.
Even though Amazon Prime Video subscription was initially available only to the US, UK, Japan, Germany, and Austria. The app is now available worldwide except for Mainland China, Iran, North Korea, and Syria.
With your Amazon Prime Video subscription, you get access to a massive library of on-demand content, a list of critically acclaimed Prime Original series, TV shows, new releases, and many more.
If you have a passion for award-winning shows and movies, you will fall in love with the app. Many of their original Tv series have already turned up at awards shows.
Amazon Prime subscription plan
The subscription will offer you a vast library of on-demand movies, TV shows, Documentaries, Anime, Live Sports, reality TV series, etc. Subscribers can also rent or buy content that is not part of the package from the app.
Amazon Prime Video price is $8.99 per month. The cost is almost in the same line with its competitors for example- Netflix's "Basic" plan costs $8.99 per month.

Amazon Prime Video free trial
Still not sure about the purchase? Go for Amazon Prime Video free trial. I would especially recommend you to sign up for the free trial if you're chewing over-committing to a full-year subscription.
Parental Control:
You also get the option of parental control as part of the subscription. So you will have the choice to control what your kids have access to on the app.
It will also let you create a separate kids account. Finally, it will automatically block any TV show or movie that isn't appropriate for kids of 12 and under.
User interface
Prime Video's UI is user-friendly when compared to its competitors. The contents are separated into categories like shows, Movies, Amazon Prime Video new releases, etc.
