Prime Flix för iPhone

Indisk mobil VOD-tjänst

Video-on-demand-tjänster är nu en växande trend över hela världen. Det har omdefinierat underhållningsbranschen och nästan ersatt sättet människor tittar på filmer och TV-program. Genom att erbjuda enkel tillgänglighet överger allt fler människor sina traditionella kabelplaner till en mer bekväm streamingprenumeration. Prime Flix är ännu en videoströmningstjänst. Denna multimedieapplikation erbjuder ett brett urval av indiska filmer och serier som du kan titta på var som helst, när som helst. Den erbjuder flexibel prissättning och olika genrer för att tillgodose användare som letar efter ett alternativ till populära streamingappar.

Familiar interface

At a glance, Prime Flix’s interface greatly resembles Netflix. From the black app background to the way it displays its content, both apps look similar. The only missing from Prime Flix is the preview of new content, and trending shows that you can watch as you browse.

The homepage of the Prime Flix also shows you a thumbnailed list of the shows that you can stream. More, by clicking the content, you can see a summary of the show, as well as the list of casts. A thumbnailed list of episodes is also shown if the content you choose is a series.

If you already have a show in mind, you can click the Search tab and key in the title. There is also the Coming Soon tab, where you can see shows with up-and-coming episodes or movies that will be added to the app’s library soon. Finally, the app allows you to store your favorite content, so you don’t have to look for them every time you want to stream them.

Prime Flix is free to download. However, you need to pay for the subscription to get access to its content. More, you need to create an account. Alternatively, you can use your Google or Facebook account.

Watch original content

Having original content is yet another similarity between Prime Flix and Netflix. Although producing original content is the new trend amongst streaming services nowadays. Prime Flix’s original content is highlighted on top of the homepage for easier browsing.

Additionally, the app offers web series and movies from other native Indian languages, such as Tamil and Telugu. You can also watch short films and even music videos. If you want to check out the trailers of upcoming movies, Prime Flix also has it on its homepage.

Some reliability issues

Prime Flix may look like a carbon copy of Netflix. However, when it comes to reliability, the former still has lots to improve. For one, the app takes its sweet time loading your video. And if it does play, you will be treated to frequent buffering, even if you have a stable connection.

More so, the videos have a low resolution with no option to adjust them. The app also does not allow users to download their videos. And if you stopped watching or the video suddenly stops mid-stream, you will need to start again from the beginning as Prime Flix cannot pick up from where you left off.

Users must also brace themselves to the app’s constant crashing. There will also be some content which you will have a hard time accessing, especially among the web series.

Behöver fixas först

I början verkade Prime Flix vara en bra app för användare som vill titta på indiska filmer och program. Appen, med sin bekanta design, är lätt att navigera i och eliminerar behovet av en inlärningskurva. Dessutom erbjuder den originalinnehåll precis som sina konkurrentappar. Men dess tillförlitlighetsproblem påverkar användarnas upplevelse. Den behöver fortfarande mer polering för att betraktas som ett alternativ för streaming.
