Amazon sets an end date for its standalone Freevee app

On the July 1 update for the Apple App Store version of the Freevee app, a new note reads: "The Freevee app will be available until August 2025. Continue watching your favorite Freevee Originals and our library of hit movies, shows, and live TV on Prime Video for free, no subscription needed. Download Prime Video to get started and sign-in with your Amazon account." 

It's not clear if the same deadline applies to the Freevee app for other platforms. For example, a similar message without the August 2025 deadline appears on the Fire TV version of the Freevee app. 

We've reached out to Amazon for more details. 

Word that the standalone Freevee app will only be available until next month—for Apple users, at least—doesn't come as a big shock. 

Amazon announced back in November 2024 that it would sunset the Freevee brand and fold all its ad-supported streaming shows and movies into Prime Video, a move intended to "deliver a simpler viewing experience for customers." 

At the time, Amazon said the phase-out of the Freevee brand would occur within a matter of weeks, but it didn't give a firm date for yanking the standalone Freevee app, which has remained widely available. 

First launched as IMDb Freedrive in 2019 before being rebranded as IMDb TV six months later, Freevee offered a mix of on-demand and ad-supported TV shows
