Amazon Fire TV continues momentum

Since the US launch in late 2014, content selection has grown to include a wide variety of localized options for every category.

Faster streaming performance

Buffering is horrible for a streamlined viewing experience. Advanced Streaming and Prediction (ASAP) capability in Fire TV learns what movie and shows are liked by customers and gets then ready for instant watching. Using ASAP technology, the streaming performance improves by 50 percent. Coupled with High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) technology, which means it delivers 1080p high definition from Amazon Video using less bandwidth than ever before, these enhancements are directed towards making the “dreaded buffering spinner” – a thing of the past.   

Get discovered

We aim to create the best 10-foot experience for our customers and developers by making content discovery and engagement easy and enjoyable. Additional rows in the browsing experience, such as the Featured Rotator, Your Apps and Games, and Recommended for You rows, create more opportunities for your apps and games to gain visibility with the right customers.

Bringing your app to Fire TV has never been easier

Whether you are a developer building web apps using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript or building native apps using Java, you can kick start your app development using Amazon Fire App Builder or Web App Starter Kit. All you need is a JSON or MRSS feed with the metadata of your content, and the tools will take care of the rest.
