Amazon's Prime Video app disappears from the App Store [Updated] - TechCrunch
In what we understand was a "technical issue", the Amazon Prime Video app disappeared from the Apple App Store, making it unavailable for new downloads or updates to users both on iOS and Apple TV. Twitter users began to tweet to Amazon for help about the problem on Friday morning, to which Amazon's support channels have yet to reply.
[Update: we've learned the issue is technical in nature, but we have no further information as to the details of the problem. The app should be back shortly.]
[Update 2: Amazon has now offered a comment on the disappearance.
"Earlier today, there was a technical glitch that impacted the Prime Video app on iOS and tvOS devices," an Amazon spokesperson said. "The issue has been resolved, and the Prime Video app is now once again available in the App Store."
Earlier post continues below:
The app's disappearance was earlier reported by AppleInsider, iMore and others.
The most likely reason for the app's removal is a technical one - an issue with the update could have caused it to be temporarily pulled, perhaps.
What's not likely is that Amazon Prime Video is gone for good.
