Prime has improved a lot after the new UI update but it still has some annoying issues.

I really hate the new release movie poster things. They're larger than the usual show thumbnails and when you highlight it, it expands and takes up 1/4 of the screen. It pushes the other thumbnails out of sight. So you gotta move over, then that expands.

It's really annoying. It's as annoying as Netflix's autoplay. I just want to read the full description of a show. Every time I click I gotta hear the Netflix "Dun Dun!" over and over.

One thing I can compliment Amazon on is the X-ray feature. Makes learning who the characters are on a new show way easier.

It's insane to me how many streaming services don't fundamentally understand that nobody wants to watch the last ten seconds of a show.

A thing I also found frustrating when I used Paramount+ was the fact that episodes don't have descriptions under them. Makes picking through old Star Trek episodes an absolute chore because I've got no idea what I'm watching till about three minutes into the episode.

I was amused to see the next season of a show I was watching appear to be available on the app, but had non-responsive episodes. I realised after a few minutes of clicking them and waiting for something to happen that they must be placeholders for episodes that Prime has the license for elsewhere but not here.

Oh yeah, my Google Chromecast had a movie I watched on Paramount+ show in my "Continue Watching" queue for like a month, and I couldn't figure out any way of removing it. Even making sure I played the movie to the very end didn't fix it.
