It’s shaping up to be a be a bad day for Amazon users.
Many apps which people use all the time are down.
According to Downdetector, Amazon users are struggling to use the website because of glitches. The problem started shortly after 1:30 p.m. EST March 5.
If you’re shopping, you might not even know, according to comments on the site.
“Trying to checkout and every time I select my address it times out and I get an error,” a comment read. “Tried in app and using a web browser with same result.”
That was the first issue, but since reporting trouble there, users are also reporting problems with Amazon Prime Video and Amazon Web Services.
Prime Video users are having problems with the app, website and streaming video.
Amazon has not yet reported what the issues stem from, but it’s becoming a huge talking point on social media.
