Amazon this week updated its Prime Video app for the Apple TV with several improvements.
According to The Verge, the app is now better optimized for the tvOS platform. You can now use the Siri Remote to swipe through TV shows and movies, and touchpad gestures for fast forwarding and rewinding content are now supported.
Suggested search results now appear as you type, and you can search with the Siri Remote.
The app now shows higher-resolution imagery, and there are new motion and sound effects.

Playlist Playground - Apple Music has a Playlist Playground option that lets you generate playlists from text-based descriptions. You can include moods, feelings, activities, or...
Haven’t tried it yet, but this app was trash.. trickplay was impossible of not even useless. It really turned me away from watching nearly ANYTHING on Prime due to how poor the app was.
More Apple TV news... is something going on here...
What if all the Apple TV related news has to do with their new product announcement for next Wednesday ('https://www.macrumors.com/2025/02/13/what-to-expect-from-the-apple-launch-next-week/')?

Maybe an Apple TV SE for those who want a basic streaming device with no internal storage for media purchases, something to compete against Roku devices, Amazon Fire TV Sticks, Google TV Streamer, etc. It'll be priced at $59.00 - $69.00
It’s so hard to find stuff to watch in Prime. They have so much garbage. And now half of what they show you requires some other service. I want to be able to filter on IMDB rating and exclude non free content.
This is great news! I can't wait until after work to update the app and see how much improvement it is. I've been using it for quite some time and experienced some of the most annoying glitches.
