Amazon Instant Video integration is one of a number of new features that has been added to the official IMDb app for iOS today, allowing users who have the Amazon Instant Video app to quickly jump from IMDb right into the movie or TV show they were just checking out. The update also brings a new Oscars section, recommendations, and more.

If you’re an Amazon Prime subscriber and you have the Amazon Instant Video app installed on your iOS device, you’ll be able to tap on the new quick links within the IMDb app to jump straight into the movie or TV show you’ve been looking up. And if you’re unsure what to watch, you can use the app’s new recommendation feature (iPad only) to find new content.

IMDb version 3.1 also brings a new Oscars section, which displays a list of nominees, and photos from the red carpet and the ceremony. So on Sunday, February 24, when the 85th Academy Awards gets underway, the new IMDb app will be your perfect companion.

Other improvements in this release include improved accessibility for TV episode navigation, updates to side navigation, and bug fixes. You can get the latest version of the IMDb app by hitting the source link below.
