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
or
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.
Needs fixing first
At first, Prime Flix looked to be a great app for users who wants to watch Indian movies and shows. The app, with its familiar design, is easy to navigate, removing the need for a learning curve. More, it offers original content just like its rival apps. However, its reliability issues impact the users’ experience. It still
needs more polishing
for it to be considered as a
streaming
alternative.
