A popular streaming app that provided free access to a variety of content has now shut down permanently, bringing disappointing news to users of Fire TV Sticks and other streaming devices. The Amazon Freevee platform, known for its ad-supported content and appeal to those avoiding subscription fees, has transitioned its extensive content catalog to Prime Video as of September 1.
Freevee customers have been informed that Prime Video is now the exclusive destination for Freevee TV shows, movies, and Live TV, prompting them to download the Prime Video app and sign in with their Amazon account. While the Freevee app will remain accessible until August 2025, users are encouraged to continue enjoying their favorite Freevee Originals and a library of movies, shows, and live TV on Prime Video at no extra cost.
Notably, there are no additional charges for users, but they may encounter boxsets and movies on Prime Video that require a Prime subscription or a one-time payment. This strategic move may aim to entice Freevee users to subscribe to Prime Video or opt for movie rentals. Existing Prime Video account holders can benefit from a more streamlined experience by accessing all Amazon content within a single app, eliminating the need to switch between Freevee and Prime Video.
