Amazon has launched an application for its Windows 10 users, allowing users to stream videos and download them for offline viewing.

The subscription fee is $8.99 equivalent to R153.51 per month and those that pay $119 which is also equivalent to R2031.45 on an annual subscription will get the Prime video for free.

The Amazon Prime Video for Windows app offers a variety of features from having access to all Prime Video Channels as well as the ability to subscribe to over 150 premium channels (including HBO, Showtime, Starz, and Cinemax) and support for X-Ray and IMDb information.
