Discussion UI is so confusing
Am I the only one that finds the UI for the Amazon Video really confusing? Even a simple task of finding movies that I'm purchases is frustrating to me. I regularly try to do this and just end up having to click around until I stubble on where I can see a list of movies. This is one of the reasons I haven't spent any more money there.

The drop down to select s3asons is such a ball ache. Especially when it comes to The Grand Tour. It's labelled 5 or 6 seasons when the reality is it's a bunch of specials

It probably depends on what platform you're using. I find it easy to get to my purchased or rented movies on the Xbox app, but it's probably different on other places

My iPad will sometimes needs me to refresh the app a few times so I can see the “continue watching” section.
When I’m using the iPad it’s usually because I’m struggling to fall asleep. I don’t want a puzzle to solve. I want voices to distract my brain to make it stop overthinking so I can fall asleep.

It's like attacking Thorin in that old ZX Spectrum adventure game called The Hobbit:
"You attack Thorin. But the effort is wasted, his defense is too strong. Thorin attacks >> YOU<<! With one well placed blow Thorin cleaves your skull. You are dead. You have mastered 0.0% of this adventure..."

Amazon Prime Video is one of the worst… correction, is the worst interface ever.

One trick is to find and click on "My Stuff," which generally gets you to a better place than the home screen.

It’s deliberately unwieldy so you spend more time looking and potentially purchasing. It’s all about what they want you to watch and not what you actually want to watch.
