  • The service itself has a good selection and the algorithm provides good recommendations. The app on the other hand, is an un-user friendly mess. My biggest gripe is that the user watchlist is just a big jumble of movies and series with no way to filter. After all these years how has this not been addressed?

  • Trying to keep people from sharing their password and have multiple viewers on a single account Netflix is shooting themselves in the foot. As I for one travel a lot and the app is going nuts and trying to send me a text on my phone number but with the wrong country code. Issue 1 Issue no 2: their library is poor 💩 ! Bar a few shows and films they lack a lot! Have a nice fading out Netflix.

  • Latest update is absolutely horrendous. Used to be great, single click open and continue watching was the first thing I saw. Then easily scroll horizontal and vertical to new shows/movies. Now the home page is one tile wide, and only horizontal scrolling. Continue watching and my watchlist are on a completely separate page, under the search function for some reason?? Definitely a step backwards in user friendly-ness.

  • New changes to this are not user-friendly. I liked being able to simply scroll through my saved list of shows. The new format is time-consuming and awkward. But what is most annoying is that I can not find shows that I have begun watching and wish to continue. I seldom have time to just sit and watch a full movie and show. This should be a very visible option, but apparently no longer. Very disappointed with the changes.

  • They keep adding things that make the app worse for seemingly no reason. Why does the app need to have its own brightness controls? Incredibly annoying and there's no way to disable it. Speaking of annoying, there is never a time that I want the episodes to just start playing on their own. Period. Let me turn off these garbage UX changes. Other streaming services have much better and simpler apps.

  • Great app. Very few glitches... new update is confusing. "Home" is no longer where you find the stuff you've been watching all along. It's now at the "explore" section. I get that Netflix want to improve the experience but searching to try and find my shows is annoying. Maybe then make the "explore" page open as the app launches. Other than that, we good.

  • Nearly every movie or show I want to watch isn't available on Netflix. The price for Netflix goes up while the selection goes down. I miss the old days when we could find nearly any movie with Netflix. If Hell had a streaming service, it would be Netflix; a bunch of movies and shows, but nothing you actually want to see.

  • Ever since the latest update I can't get to anything I was watching previously. Interface on the app is now extremely poor. Every year or two Netflix tries to push out an update that breaks the entire UI and everytime users complain about it. Haven't you got the point that the users still want our home page so we can quickly pick back up where we left off with a show?

  • This new update is not great.. The home screen looks like instagram and its very unclear. Casting my series to the tv also does not work, I cannot see in the app that I am streaming and thus cannot pause it, change the subtitles or skip the intro. Also, it sometimes stops casting/streaming out of nowhere and have to restart everything and even then its sometimes not working..

  • The newest update for the mobile app as of 4/13/2023 is awful. Absolutely prefer the original. I've been a netflix subscriber for years now and have loved it, but go back to OG version or give me a way to choose between the two, and I would rate higher Oh, AND it doesn't work with Chromecast anymore!? They're about to lose a long-time subscriber
