Amazon has added a new search function to its Instant Video app for iOS.

Watch thousands of titles available from Prime Instant Video at no additional cost with an Amazon Prime membership and over 120,000 videos available from the Amazon Instant Video store by installing the Amazon Instant Video app. Download purchased and rented videos from Your Video Library for offline viewing on airplanes, road trips, or any time a WiFi connection is unavailable. Keep track of movies and TV shows to watch later by adding them to Your Watchlist. A selection of top Prime Instant Video titles is included in the app, and you can visit Amazon to add other Prime titles to Your Watchlist. Start watching a video on an iPad and Whispersync technology automatically syncs your place between devices, allowing videos to be resumed from where you left off on a Kindle Fire, PS3, PC, Mac, or hundreds of models of connected TVs and Blu-ray players. The Amazon Instant Video app for iPad is designed for an unmodified version of iOS.

• Stream thousands of titles available from Prime Instant Video at no additional cost with a Prime membership, or watch over 120,000 videos available from the Amazon Instant Video store

The new version does not work with iOS 4.3! The requirements did not state this until customers started to complain. The upgraded version as of 8/16/12 only works with iOS 5.0. Both versions should be available in the app. Store for iPads. Very frustrating and now the video app. Is useless unless you upgrade your system.
