If you use this app on Mojave it is truly a marvel. If there is an alternative that works this well I have no idea what it is. However, if you try it on Catalina you are in trouble. Amazon Prime Video insists that you install SilverLight. That of course is a worthless endeavor for 2 reasons, 1) It has been discontinued years ago, there will be no upgrades. 2) You can try installing it but you will fail in Catalina because it is a 32BIT app. What about an alternative to SilverLight? Nope. What about Flash or something like it? Nope they don't work. In the end in Catalina all you get is a Black screen. You cannot even view the trailers. Support? Nah, the Developer has gone silent. Days of trying to contact him have been a total waste of effort. Bottomline, if you stick with Mojave you will be elated. Update to Catalina and you will have an app that has turned into detritus.
