I hope they hired some talent. The ipad app sucks pretty hard. I've liked the iphone app though. It looks like they could port it fairly easy too given its html5 roots.

That said, I can hardly wait.

Don't really know what you would do with a Netflix widget. But I hope they do something good with it.

When the Netflix app comes out, I'll most likely have to sign back onto Netflix.

Is it true that the Netflix app for iPhone costs an extra $8.99/month on top of your regular Netflix subscription? I'm guessing this is to stream movies on the phone? That's pretty crazy. I didn't think thats what the app was meant for.

I thought the point of the Netflix app was to be able to manage your account, queue, browse and add movies to the queue. That's all I'd be happy with. Cause I can just imagine how quick a whole movie would drain your battery and eat up data.

"Jamie Odell, director of product management, here. We hinted at a free Netflix App for the iPhone and iPod touch in April, announced it in June and I’m happy to share that it is available now! If you want to instantly watch TV episodes and movies on your iPhone or iPod touch, all you need to do is get the free Netflix App from the App Store at and have a Netflix membership starting at $8.99 a month. "

Meaning you just need to have a general netflix subscription starting at $8.99 a month.

It doesn't cost any extra, I have it installed on my ipod touch.$8.99 is just the base price for a netflix subscription. For $8.99 you get one disc at a time through the mail but get unlimited streaming. I have the 2 disc at a time plan and stream movies through my nintendo wii, it works really well.

Oh ok, Yeah I have the $8.99 subscription. I was mislead, cause someone told me it was an additional $8.99. Sorry that's where the confusion was. Thanks.

**TheMobileWorx** · 08-31-2010, 08:03 PM

I really hope they make it HDMI capable!

**Gekko** · 08-31-2010, 08:08 PM

i saw someone here streamed their amazon.com on demand movies via the Android browser.

**dcross9818** · 09-01-2010, 12:03 AM

The only thing I could possibly see a use for a widget is a scrollable list of your instant queue, a single click to launch the movie.

I can't wait for this, I think this will help me justify a subscription.

As much as I would like to see this app come as well, I really don't think I ill use it for anything but managing my queue. I was excited for the release for the ipod touch, I installed it, but I doubt that I will ever watch a movie on it...

Very, very nice about the iPhone. But seeing as this is an Android discussion board why dont you give us the same insight about an upcoming Android app.

**hybrid85** · 09-02-2010, 09:48 AM

Im excited for this app too. I watch a lot of netfilx instant movies through xbox. It will be cool to be able to watch them now on my phone. I'm hoping they hurry up with this app and release it to android.

MrHanky was just quoting someone from Netflix.
