The Prime Video for Android app is really young, it released literally 3 months ago.

The app isn't that recent, it just only was made available on the Play Store; it used to be exclusive to the Amazon App Store, which had to be sideloaded.

I've had a Prime Video app on my Android devices for years...

sigh The app itself isn't even remotely new. The only new part is that it's listed on Google's app store as well as Amazon's.

It has been in Play Store for at least a year, but it was georestricted - not available in US.

I installed it from there on my devices when Prime Video launched worldwide in Dec 2016.

The app itself has been available (in US,UK, and DE) since September 2014, though [1]. And that was the purpose of my original reply, since B-Con said "The Prime Video for Android app is really young, it released literally 3 months ago."
