Amazon’s new IMDB app for Fire TV users gets to the heart of the streaming problem.
We’re spoilt for choice in the streaming world these days. Not only do we have libraries of content from several apps to pick from, taking in Hollywood classics and fresh-from-the-cinema new releases, but the competition is so hot that the likes of Amazon, HBO, Netflix and Disney are constantly vying for our attention with hot new exclusives all of their own. Even with a well curated watchlist, deciding what to watch over multiple services can be a tricky time sink, as you trawl through all your streaming subscriptions to find exactly what you’re after for the night’s viewing session. Amazon thinks it has the answer, in the form of a new app that, for the time being at least, is exclusive to the Fire TV platform. Tapping into the Amazon-owned IMDB film-and-TV-trivia database, it gamifies your choices to help you land on the exact movies or TV shows for the mood you’re feeling.
