Android users with an Amazon Prime account now have the ability to stream roughly 150,000 movies and TV shows to their phones. Content able to be viewed on Prime varies by country and users have to pay $99 a year for a Prime subscription, reports Cnet.

Titles available on Prime Instant Video include several original series, such as Black SailsCrossing Lines and Alpha House. One feature that is currently available on Fire Phone, but not on Android, is the ability to download movies and TV shows and watch them later without an internet connection, Cnet notes.

To download the Amazon Prime Instant Video app, Andoird users must first download the normal Amazon app. From here Prime users will be promoted to download the Instant Video app. Users can also download the Instant Video app through the Amazon Appstore, reports The Verge.

AMZN shares were up slightly as of Wednesday afternoon.
