It has reached such lofty heights in large part because of continually adding features, be it music, video or a host of other things we enjoy. That’s not all you get, though. If you are not a Prime member, you’ll be interested to know what you’re missing out on. And if you are, there’s a good chance you don’t know about everything you get with the subscription.
1. Great discounts at Whole Foods
2. Thousands of movies without Wi-Fi
Selected Prime Video titles are available to be downloaded to compatible mobile devices, which include Fire tablets, Fire phones, Android phones and tablets, and iOS devices. If you are using a compatible device, make sure you are connected to a Wi-Fi or wireless network, find the Prime title you want to download and open the video details. After that, tap on “Download” to start the process. Just keep in mind this can use up data on your cellular plan, so make sure you have enough to spare. Note that for TV shows, you will want to select the episode you want to download and then look for the specific download icon, which will be a down arrow. Also, the amount of time you will have to be able to watch a downloaded title — movie or show — offline will vary, though a notification will typically display on-screen when the viewing period is almost over.
