### 3/5 — Won’t Stay Logged On

*2022-09-24, version 1.31*

Since the upgrade to iOS 16, the app won’t stay logged on.  It works fine after logging on, but it’s a minor irritant to log on every time on a device I own.  Especially since the regular Netflix app still does.

### 4/5 — Can’t open reviews

*2022-04-02, version 1.29*

The reviews just end with more to say, but tapping the review will not open it to allow me to see the entire write-up. I’d give this 5 stars if I could see the entire review. Please fix this.

### 3/5 — Cuts off reviews

*2022-03-04, version 1.29*

Past few months you’re not able to read the complete reviews. Cuts off in the middle of a sentence- sometimes only a few words in to the review then it ends, sometimes I might get two whole sentences before it cuts off. Really annoying when trying to decide if a movie is worth renting or not

### 3/5 — The review text is cut off

*2022-01-06, version 1.29*

You can no longer read the full reviews left by people.  They just stop right in the middle of sentences. The developer left a comment on the most recent comment under mine and clearly has no clue what they are talking about.  It take two seconds to see the issue on the most recent version of the app.  The latest update caused this issue.  App is also not as responsive by touch as it used to be.

### 4/5 — Film Reviews are Truncated

*2021-12-31, version 1.29*

Customer reviews of movies are all chopped off halfway through the review making it impossible to follow. This wasn’t always the case suggesting the bug appeared after the latest update, hopefully to be addressed and fixed going forward. Otherwise it’s a great functional app!

### 3/5 — Feature request and bug fix

*2021-12-23, version 1.29*

Generally speaking this is a usable app. Queue management is solid. One bug report - when reading reviews the text is truncated and you cannot tap to expand the full review. Feature request - please separate TV shows from movies when browsing new releases. Also, show ‘all’ new releases in order of release date and not just the ones you want to promote.

### 4/5 — 4K

*2020-11-08, version 1.25*

I would like 4K discs to be available. I now have all the equipment to enjoy this format but I don’t want to be forced into purchasing discs I may never watch multiple times. Also, could you add “Assassins” starring Sylvester Stallone and Antonio Banderas to your inventory please and thank you?

### 3/5 — Just barely runs sometimes

*2020-08-31, version 1.22*

Can you please make a lite version of this app.  This just barely works on iPhone 7.  When the internet doesn't respond, the app freezes.  Sometimes it even crashes.

There is also a problem of the app forgetting my account/log in.  The app is on my personal phone (no other users.)

I tried the app today and it works great due to a more responsive Wifi connection.

### 4/5 — Inconsistent behavior, but useful when it works

*2020-08-30, version 1.25*

This app worked every time before I updated my iPad Pro 12.9” 2g to iOS 13.6.1.  Now, it sometimes starts to load and after 10 seconds closes.  Uninstalling and reinstalling the app makes no difference.  Rebooting the iPad makes no difference.  
Since I wrote this review the app appears to be working, raised to four stars.  Five stars would see better sorting and search, along with the option to watch videos available for streaming (the website allows this, why do I have to hop to another app for that?).

### 3/5 — Major bug

*2020-06-09, version 1.23*

While convenient once you log. However, it can be a real burden trying to do that. It gives like one second to do so before it kicks you back to the opening screen. It doesn’t matter if you are doing it manually, or using fingerprint identification. You have little time to get it done.

### 3/5 — Needs 4K discs

*2020-02-15, version 1.22*

It’s time to update the name to something more current. 4K and Blu-ray Disc need to be available. 4K UHD discs should be an option it’s time, just like when Blu-ray came. There’s a huge market with kids and 4K players on gaming consoles being completely forgot. Help and reporting disc problem needs to be available on the app.

### 3/5 — App isn’t great but I love the service

*2019-09-14, version 1.20*

It’s a pretty basic app. It has a few bugs and will sometimes freeze, but ultimately these things don’t happen often enough for them to be annoying, in my opinion. It gets the job done for what I need it for, which is searching for a quick title I heard about in conversation and not using the app to discover new content. I use the website for that.

### 4/5 — Scrolling problem

*2019-06-09, version 1.19.3*

Please fix the scrolling problem. I have tried on a couple different devices and I am unable to scroll down my list quickly. Consistently freezes on each device.

### 3/5 — Saved list is asinine

*2019-03-20, version 1.18.1*

Some movies are in the Saved queue because they haven’t been released yet. But when they are, there are no updates to the disc being released, and the disc gets quietly added to the bottom of the live queue, so you have to scroll all the way down to see what got added recently there. Totally asinine, especially when I’ve got hundreds of films in the queue to start with! There should be a separate side bar just for the Saved queue that isn’t tacked on to the bottom of the main queue

**Developer response:** Thanks for giving us your feedback! We'll pass this information along to our product team for further review. If you have any other feedback or questions, please feel free to give us a call at (800) 585-8018 Monday thru Friday between 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. PST.

### 3/5 — Decent app, could be better

*2019-01-24, version 1.18.1*

The latest version is pretty good, but I wish there was an easy way to jump to the end of my queue, where movies get added from the saved section (or automatically add movies to the top of the queue when they move from Saved).

### 4/5 — Very good app, but...

*2018-11-14, version 1.17*

I find the app very useful. The one improvement I would like to see is the ability to tap on a movie in my “At Home” queue column and have the app open the screen describing the movie, along with reviews and movie format, etc, like it does when I tap on a movie in my “Queue” column.

### 2/5 — Can’t sort by rating

*2018-11-11, version 1.17*

I have children and want to find PG rated movies for them.  Netflix does not allow you to search or sort this way.  They have a “children and family” section but it’s mainly animated movies for kids younger than mine.  It takes me forever to find them movies that are live action, PG rated comedies.  Not sure why Netflix needs to make it so hard.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Logs me out every time I close the app

*2022-09-21, version 1.31*

Updated complaint: The app now logs me out every time I close it. This just started occurring when I changed my password. It’s highly frustrating. I don’t understand why biometric login isn’t an option, which would resolve the issue. Please fix!! Original review (which has been resolved): For some reason the latest update to this app doesn’t show the entire user reviews of movies. It’s not possible to click on the reviews to expand them. The reviews used to be a helpful tool in deciding to add movies to my queue or not. Currently it’s fairly useless to even look at them as the context is lost since they’re not viewable. Please fix this!

### 1/5 — New Releases NEVER Available

*2021-07-16, version 1.28*

This is the one company that made NO changes after the pandemic started, service has only gotten worse. The top 53 titles in my queue are listed as: Short Wait, Long Wait, or Very Long Wait. It used to be 2-3, now it is 53! I’ve called repeatedly to no avail. They obviously need to add discs. I was told it may take 30 days to add discs, it has been more than a year. They truly don’t care because they already have your monthly fee. They simply hope you’ll continue to pay for a constantly shrinking library because most people are complacent. Not me, I finally quit. You’ll notice that the Developer does not respond to my review.

### 1/5 — Search stopped working

*2019-12-12, version 1.21*

This app is usually fine, but suddenly today the search function stopped working. Everything I type in under any category gives me, “your search did not return any results.” I can’t find anyone to contact to report the issue to either, so I’m posting this here. Please fix!

### 1/5 — This app is like a diamond in the rough

*2019-08-17, version 1.19.3*

They need to polish more as soon as they returned to the service and I am impressed that there is no great change in what is detail in the movies, the language, it closes unexpectedly and the app is only in English ... Hello or that only English-speaking people are  the only ones who have money to pay for the service !!!  Spanish Please.  I think it took a long time to polish this app.  This doesn't seem to be afraid of anything at all with Netflix.

### 1/5 — App not telling that a title has been watched before

*2019-08-08, version 1.19.3*

I had given 4 stars to this app and now I’m changing my review and rating to 1 star. I can’t believe that the “Disc returned on xx/xx/xx” has not been added. It’s hard to remember which titles I’ve already watched and I have to keep going back to the website version to avoid adding a title that I’ve watched before. Please make this app more useful by adding the “Disc returned on xx/xx/xx” feature.

### 1/5 — The update made things worse

*2019-06-09, version 1.19.3*

The most recent update was to fix bugs, it seems to have just made things worse. When I attempt to open the app on my phone everything simply freezes. I’ve tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but it still doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Poorly designed queue

*2018-11-25, version 1.18*

If you have a lot of movies in your queue, you have to scroll down many times to get to the latest additions.  

Then, when you touch a movie so you can read the details, it changes to a new screen.  Then when you touch the back arrow, it returns you NOT to the movie you just read about, but back to the top.  So, you have to swipe down again and again to get back to the bottom of your list.

Suggestions for your next update:

1.  When you are in the queue and touch on a title to get details, then go back, return to the exact same spot in the queue, so you can then move the movie up to the top of the list (or continue looking at the movies in that area of your queue).

2.  Have a link at the top to take you directly to the bottom of your queue.  Because when a saved movie gets added to your list, it always goes to the bottom of the queue.  That’s where I generally go to decide what to put up to the top of my list.

### 2/5 — Nonresponsive

*2019-09-10, version 1.19.3*

App consistently freezes or is not responsive, so when attempting to view your queue, each time you wish to scroll or view a movie, there is a several second lag each time you touch the screen. I see many other users have experienced the same issue lately.  App would be great if it was actually useable.

### 2/5 — App freezes

*2019-09-02, version 1.19.3*

If you have a list that is more than one screen it will freeze when you scroll down. As soon as it has to load anything new on a list the app will become completely unresponsive while it loads the new items. It will take several seconds before responding again just for it to happen again when you have to load more of the list. The app did not used to do this a few months back but has been a persistent bug for a long time now that they have not fixed.

**Developer response:** We are sorry to hear that you have been experiencing issues with our app. If you can, please give us a call at (800) 585-8018, Monday thru Friday between 6 a.m. and 5 p.m PST and we will be able to troubleshoot the issue with you.

### 2/5 — Bad Billing Practice

*2018-12-04, version 1.18.1*

Don’t ever upgrade your account with these people. They will screw with your finances. You’re better off just cancelling and starting over again. 

Not to mention their customer support is only open to 5 pm and isn’t even listed on their website.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Love the app...BUT

*2021-06-27, version 1.28*

I love the app, but the latest update (6/25 or 26)...something went wrong. I tried to log on but it said I had wrong email or password. I didn’t, but changed the password. It still wouldn’t work. I hope you can fix it as it is easier to use than going through the internet all the time.

### 5/5 — I’m stupid!

*2020-04-08, version 1.22*

I wrote a review saying I wished the app allowed me to the option to get Blu-Ray disks and then I realized that it did allow me that option. The app is great, again I’ve never had a problem and I appreciate the Netflix team responding to my last review. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2020-04-01, version 1.22*

I absolutely love this feature! I remember they had something similar to this when Netflix first started and then they took the feature away😭 so glad to have it back! THANK YOU NETFLIX

### 5/5 — Great

*2018-08-25, version 1.16*

Really like this app. Now I don’t have to go on the computer to check what I have coming, I can add movies to my queue, check new releases, check coming soon. Great app so far.
UPDATE: I wish you could add thumb print ID for the password. so I can use the app without remembering the password.

### 5/5 — Solid App

*2018-07-04, version 1.14.1*

I remember the good ol' days of having to use the clunky, horrible mobile site.  I was flipping through things today and it is just great to have a well thought out, well designed, intuitive app to use.

### 5/5 — Extremely useful app!

*2018-01-19, version 1.11*

So glad they finally made this an app! It works just like the website and I love that I can check it anywhere. I wish there was a way to drag and drop movies and reorder them in the Queue a little bit easier but you still can reorder them by the exact position which is nice. Overall love the app and it works great

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2018-01-05, version 1.10*

This app has grown into its own very well. I remember the first version or two it just looked like a zoomed in version of the browser page. This latest update (not sure when it happened) has turned it into a sleek iPhone app. This is definitely going to be a handy app once Big Telecom puts caps on home internet plans and everyone comes back to BluRay deliveries by mail. Keep up the good work on this app Netflix!!

### 5/5 — Love to be able to manage my queue with the app!

*2017-11-28, version 1.9*

Love how convenient the app makes managing my plan. I can easily add movies, change order, etc all from the app. I use my phone for everything so having this option is great!

### 5/5 — Favorite movie viewing app!

*2017-11-22, version 1.8.1*

Fabulous interface which makes managing my queue so easy. I’m addicted to searching for my favorite films, and they have most. And if they don’t stock it, they give you the option to save it for further use. All movie lovers must use this!!

### 5/5 — Slick

*2017-10-26, version 1.7.5*

Moving titles to the top of the list is very simple. Slide your finger on the title and you can move your selection to the top of the list. Now to see what else this app can do.
