Download TV and movies from Amazon Prime Video
You can also enjoy seven days of free TV and film downloads with trials of Apple TV+, Now Entertainment and Now Cinema, but the most generous offer comes from Amazon Prime Video. This gives you a whole month to download as much entertainment as you want, to watch offline on your Android or IOS device or Fire tablet. There’s also a Prime Video app for Windows 10 and 11 (www. snipca.com/45311), which lets you download content to play on your PC.
You can get Prime Video as part of a 30-day Amazon Prime trial (www.snipca. com/45312) or on its own (www.snipca. com/45313), but either way will cost you £8.99 a month once the trial ends, so remember to cancel before then. See our ‘Get refunds and free trials’ feature in Issue 652 (www.snipca.com/45375) for more details.
Once you’ve signed up for either free trial, select an episode or entire season of a TV show, or choose a movie, and press the Download button. Note that not all Prime Video titles are available to download, and some aren’t included with a subscription – let alone a free trial – so you need to buy or rent them.
You can conserve data and device storage when downloading from Prime Video by choosing Settings then Download Quality. By default the quality is set to Best, which uses about 1.8GB of data per hour of video, but you can reduce the file size and make content faster to download by selecting a different option, such as Better (see screenshot left), Good or Data Saver (Android only).
Your Prime Video downloads will expire 48 hours after you start playing them, and will no longer be available once your free trial ends.
