(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home4/scienrds/scienceandnerds/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114Source: https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/23274393\/amazon-prime-video-netflix-hbo-apps-look-the-same<\/a> Earlier this week, Amazon announced a major redesign of Prime Video<\/a>, and the overwhelming response was \u201cfinally.\u201d Prime Video had become a relic frozen in time, with an ugly, laggy interface that seemed stuck in 2010. Amazon\u2019s streaming competitors, meanwhile, have routinely switched up and refined the user experience. <\/p>\n And it seems like Prime Video\u2019s designers noticed. Because another thing that stuck out about the app\u2019s makeover is just how closely Amazon\u2019s video service now resembles Netflix. Column of navigation icons on the left side? Check. Top 10 list with big numbers? Yep, it\u2019s there on the home screen. And Prime Video has even added \u201csuper carousels\u201d of poster-style artwork that expand to landscape and start auto-playing a trailer when you hover over them \u2014 just like Netflix. <\/p>\n Based on the comments on our story and comments I\u2019ve seen across Twitter, Reddit (1<\/a>, 2<\/a>, 3<\/a>), and elsewhere, people don\u2019t seem to mind the similarities. This interface has gradually become the de facto standard across Netflix, Disney Plus, HBO Max, and now Prime Video. And consistency goes a long way here; we\u2019re fundamentally using all of these services to reach the entertainment on each one, and having a samey interface between them should make doing so easier for everyone. <\/p>\n It does pose the risk of confusion, though. You might find yourself mindlessly scrolling through HBO Max or Paramount Plus when you\u2019re trying to find the new Lord of The Rings<\/em> series on Prime Video. <\/p>\n When companies have attempted to flip the table and reinvent the streaming app user experience, it typically hasn\u2019t gone well. A few years ago, Hulu introduced a completely overhauled design<\/a> that was lambasted<\/a> for prioritizing style over usability; instead of showing you as much content as possible, it highlighted one or two items at a time with full-screen artwork and oversized, thin-weight fonts.<\/p>\n In the months and years that followed, Hulu dialed back and reversed a lot of the more drastic changes and ultimately settled on something more familiar. It hasn\u2019t fully given in and adopted left-side navigation like everyone else quite yet, but all the main sections are similar. <\/p>\n
