The user experience was unpleasant, and offered no added convenience compared with watching video in my browser or through iTunes. A half hour and several rounds of quitting out of the program and refreshing my recent purchases later, the film finally showed up in Unbox for offline viewing. I rented a movie on Amazon to test whether Unbox could indeed download files for later. If you want to do that, you’ll have to turn to some unorthodox third-party alternatives.

The Unbox Player does let you stream that stuff, but streaming through Unbox isn’t any different than streaming through your browser.Īmazon’s Unbox player is great for downloading digital copies of movies and TV shows you’ve purchased on Amazon, but you can’t use it to save streaming Instant Video for later. Sure, you can use the Unbox Player to download movies and television shows you’ve rented or purchased on Amazon, but you can’t use it to download the Amazon Prime Instant Video content that you can stream through your Amazon Prime subscription.
