Hello Glenn, I’m unable to locate a specific Amazon Prime App in the US App store. Would you mind providing a link to this App? With regard to the App closing when you try to watch a video, can you list the troubleshooting steps you’ve tried so far, e.g. closing all running apps, deleting and reinstalling the offending app, cycling power on the device, etc.
Also, if you are trying to watch Amazon Videos, you might want to take a look at the Amazon Instant Video App if it is available in your country’s App store. I’ll paste a US App Store link at the bottom of this email. I’ve found the current version of the Amazon Instant VIdeo App to be mostly VO accessible on my iPhone 5S running IOS 7.0.4. If you decide to give this App a try, here are some tips pasted from my Applevis entry for this App. Begin pasted text: Here is my overview of this App from login to finding content to watching a video. Note that I am an Amazon Prime member and if you are not, your experience may differ. Initial launch of the app presents a VO accessible login screen for the User's Amazon credentials. The first successful login leads to an inaccessible page of advertising but a simple one finger double-tap will make this page go away and land you on the Home screen. The Home screen consists of a few decently labeled items across the top, four properly labeled buttons along the bottom, and a large central portion of the screen which is populated by an animated list of inaccessible video titles. Annoyingly, this animated list keeps VO chattering, “Video one of four, VIdeo two of four, etc,” while the VO User attempts to navigate away from the Home screen. FOrtunately, activating any of the four buttons along the bottom of the screen or the Browse or search buttons in the top of the screen moves focus away from the animated section and gets VO back to normal. The 4 buttons along the bottom of the screen are, from left to right: Home, Watch List, Library, and Settings. The Home button returns the User to the initial Home screen described above. The Watch List button presents VO accessible thumbnails of any movies or TV shows in the User’s watch list. There are buttons along the top of the screen to toggle the results list between movies and TV shows. Double-tapping a thumnail opens the detail page for the item. Most of the information on the detail page seems VO accessible, including the buttons to play, download, resume, watch trailer, and add/remove from watch list. There are some reviews and IMDB links that seem to be rendered as images and are not VO accessible. During video playback the controls can be accessed by performing a one finger double-tap on the screen. The controls temporarily pop up along the bottom edge of the screen and can be found by swiping or moving a finger around the screen. An airplay button is included in the list of controls. The Video Library button presents a list of digital videos the User has purchased from Amazon. The Settings button has five subheadings: 1. About. This is VO accessible and provides the version number and other bits of info about the app. 2. Legal Notices. (On my system, VO incorrectly reads this item as “My Account.”) This provides a VO accessible page of legal info. 3. Provide Feedback. This presents a standard new mail item with a pre-filled framework allowing the User to provide feedback directly to Amazon. 4. Contact Support. Like the feedback button above, this opens a new mail item with the To and From fields ready and prompts the User to describe the problem they are having. 5. My Account. This lists the iDevice name and the name of the registered User and provides a logout button. The buttons along the top edge of the screen change to meet the requirements of whatever task the User is performing. In the Home screen, the top buttons are Browse and Search. Double-tapping the Browse button pulls down a list of categories arranged vertically down the center of the screen when held in portrait mode. This category list is VO accessible and double-tapping some of them will present sub-categories, and eventually a VO accessible list of video titles will show and the User can interact as described in the “Watch List” section above. Tapping the Search button presents a VO accessible search bar near the top of the screen. The list of search results is also accessible and the User can interact with the items as mentioned. :End pasted text Here’s a link to the Amazon Instant Video App in the US iTunes Store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/amazon-instant-video/id545519333?mt=8 HTH, Bryan On Feb 7, 2014, at 9:14 PM, Glenn <glenner...@cableone.net> wrote: > I am using an iPhone 5, and I am an Amazon Prime member, it's like NetFlix. > Has anyone here tried this app? > The Home screen in this app keeps refreshing, and when I go to the watch > list, and I select something, like an episode of a TV series, the app <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> or at the public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/>.
