The reason I ask is because I bought the wrong fire TV, I bought the US version when I should have bought the international version from my country. Mind you some apps work (Netflix, YouTube) in my country but not Prime Video App, is geo restricted.
I've been using the web version of prime video as a walk around but I would very much like to try the apk.
I've downloaded the Prime Video APK for nvidia shield and xiaomi tv but they seem to work a bit sluggish on my fire stick, and it often freezes.
I hope I'm not alone in this situation and someone found some sort of solution.
I have the same issue. I installed the androidTV version which seems to be working fine but the video quality is terrible. Not sure if it is the app or something else. Could not sideload the prime video apk from google app store because it is conflicting with the existing installation.

Where did you download this? I have a Xiaomi Mi Box S and have been looking for a version of Prime Video that works. It's not in my Google Play Store. Perhaps the Nvidia Shield version would work. Thanks
Did you solved this issue?
I bought an Fire TV Stick (1st gen) from UK, now I can't watch anything from Prime Video because I'm in Brazil.
I've downloaded the Prime Video apk from apkpure, but its installation fails, maybe because the stick it's Prime Video version already installed.

Hi,
did anyone try or manage to install the Amazon Instant Video App for Tablets that Amazon promotes (in Germany) now? Why? I would like to watch videos on my Fire HDX with the shared prime account we use for our FireTV at home. While this is possible on any iPad or non-Amazon Android with the new app, the Kindle only allows to use prime instant video if the account of the device itself has been registered for prime. Using the deeply integrated app shop of the Fire HDX I even cannot find the video app.

Not sure this applies in Germany. I simply installed the Amazon App for Android v5.x from the Play Store. I can access/view Prime content from within. Similar to browser experience on a desktop. A bit annoying one has to launch a shopping app to view videos but it works and I'm not fussed enough to look for alternatives. As an aside, I was not fond of the Amazon app 'optimized' for tablets. Found the standard phone app worked better (personal preference).
When I launch the Twitch app on my Amazon Fire TV Stick it's the old, super bare-bones version of the app, but when I look under the overview page the pictures are of a newer more shiny version of the app with more features. I guess the Fire TV Stick is stuck with the old version, possibly due to it's spec limitations. I really want the new apk so I can install it on my Nexus Player and my Fire TV stick, but I can't find the apk anywhere online. Could someone please install it on their Fire TV and rip the apk here for me. I would really appreciate it.

Hi All
I am in New Zealand (Thats a country in case you are unsure),
I have an Amazon FireTV stick 1st generation
Prime Video Is available in my country, but is only supported on the newer FireTV stick Basic edition*
I have tried sideloading the PrimeVideo app from my phone to the firestick, but i am getting an error saying the app can't be installed, is there someway or somewhere i can find a log of what is failing, eg if there is a dependency missing or I need an older version, or something?
*Note, its a limitation of the Firestick not a setting issue as Prime Video works perfectly on my Apple TV , and in the prime Video app on my phone (and yes i can send the Video to the stick via the phone) and on my computer, If you look under supported devices on the primevideo site only the basic edition is supported, and i'm a cheapskate who doesn't want to spend more money
** Note, I am talking about primevideo.com which is a watered down version of Amazon Prime.
Any help would be appreciated

when you register fire stick you will get international prime apk with software update, but unfortunately us prime will still be present on home screen.
Does sideloaded prime video (phone/tablet version) download movies in HD on Fire TV Cube?
I just bought an L1 certified xiaomi android tv box & surprisingly it only downloads in SD, which suggests Amazon have a device whitelist which it isn't on.
My guess is they haven't whitelisted their own tv cube either as if they deemed this ability suitable, it'd be in the official android tv app which currently only streams (which makes it no more useful than a smart tv which is limited to streaming only).
Can somebody confirm before I buy?

To me the fire cube was their worse device
I'm pretty sure the 4k stick is more powerful.
Only the recast boxes actually download and store video but at that price Id get a Nvidia shield and add a external SSD.
