Bugs and bitrate issues
I have been an on and off Netflix subscriber for over 12 years. The app is average/bad at best, the UI is awful and the categories are all over the place. You also can’t see half of the content that you can see on the Netflix TV app unless you specifically know the name of what you want to find. There are tons of bugs in the Jan 2025 update such as iPhone white multitasking bar never disappearing, and this is incredibly distracting at night time viewing especially on an OLED display, and the Netflix chroma colour quality and bitrate drops to awful levels even when viewing on the top Netflix 4K premium package and using EE’s 5G network with full bars. EE has by far the fastest 5G network in England clocking in at 500+ megabits per second download speed and you only need 50 for 4K content. It is over 7 times higher the recommended bandwidth for 4K streaming therefore the problem is clearly with the awful Netflix servers. I highly suspect due to the many issues that this app hasn’t been coded properly to work seamlessly with their own servers. It works and has a professional feel to it, but when you actually get into the quality of the streaming it provides it’s pretty bad sometimes.
