Amazon Video App on Apple TV 4

[BearcatScott]

Where is the Amazon Video App for Apple TV 4? Amazon said they would have it by the end of 2015. Haven't heard a peep from them since.

I don't recall Amazon saying that they would have it on the ATV4. Even the email responses were mostly non-responsive to the question.

This is where I saw Amazon was developing an app for Apple TV:

You should note the name of the website/forums. In direct email from amazon that I and others got replies to, they were evasive.

True, but it was reported on many legitimate news sites as well, albeit probably from the same source. I'll continue to wait and hope along with many others for it to appear.

I would be surprised if an Amazon app appeared on the new ATV. iTunes and Amazon Instant Video/Music are direct competitors and Apple created the ATV to push iTunes.

Why not its already available on the iPhone... other competitors such as Vudo and others are already there.

No reason why an Amazon Video app can't be there too.

I would not be surprised to see the app appear. The main thing would be that you would not be able to buy new videos through it since Apple would want a cut of Amazon's price. It would probably work like the iphone/ipad app where you buy on a PC or web browser then can watch on Apple TV.
