A popular streaming app known for providing free access to a diverse range of content has officially shut down, adding to the Monday blues for many users. Amazon’s Freevee platform, a long-standing service favored by those seeking to avoid monthly subscription fees, has made the transition to Prime Video as of September 1. Previously, viewers could enjoy shows like Jury Duty, Alex Rider, Bosch: Legacy, and Hell’s Kitchen USA at no cost, supported by advertisements.
Freevee users are now required to switch to the Prime Video app and sign in using their Amazon account to access the extensive content library. The transition message communicated to Freevee customers indicates that Prime Video is now the exclusive destination for Freevee TV shows, movies, and Live TV, with the Freevee app remaining accessible until August 2025.
Despite the change, there are no additional charges involved, and users can continue watching their favorite Freevee Originals and a selection of movies, shows, and live TV on Prime Video without a subscription. However, certain box sets and movies may necessitate a Prime subscription or a one-time payment.
This strategic move may be aimed at encouraging Freevee users to consider subscribing to Prime Video or opting for movie rentals. For existing Prime Video account holders, the integration of Freevee content into one app simplifies the browsing experience, eliminating the need to switch between platforms.
