If you’re fond of watching movies on your android device then one of the best ways you can do this is by downloading and installing the Netflix App for Android. Here is a review on how you can do this, and the pros and cons of using Netflix to watch movies on your Android phone or tablet.
How to Make It Happen
First of all you will need to have a Netflix account. Sign up with Netflix to create an account and jot down your username and password. You’ll need to use this later.
Once you’ve created an account with Netflix, go to the Google Play app store and download the Netflix App and install it. Run the app and enter your Netflix account username and password.
Once the app is running you are presented with a list of the different categories of movies that you can instantly play. All you need to do is to select the genre you are interested in, browse through the available movies and play the movie that you want.
If you are near a good Wi-Fi signal, the movie will stream to your device and play with outstandingly good quality. Keep in mind that the Wi-Fi connection must be strong and try to stay away from any sources that can possibly interrupt the signal. Microwave ovens, portable radios or even baby monitors can interrupt a Wi-Fi signal.
The Pros of Netflix for Android
Netflix has very good quality streaming capabilities but again, this will also depend on how good your Wi-Fi connection is.
With this app you can watch movies directly on your android device as long as you have a Wi-Fi signal. Wi-Fi hotspots can be commonly found around major cities, hotels or even restaurants.
The Cons of Netflix for Android
The titles you can watch on Netflix are sort of limited. The movies are rated 3+ but the real good ones are a bit limited.
One of the features of the App is that it should be able to recommend movies based on some criteria. Unfortunately, this doesn’t happen perfectly most of the time. Sometimes the app will recommend movies that you would have trouble understanding why they were recommended anyway. Improvements definitely need to be done on the recommendation engine.
Verdict
Netflix app for androids may still have some minor issues like recommendation, but overall the app works fine. The quality of the streaming is certainly desirable so that you can watch wherever there is a strong Wi-Fi signal. This may be a problem in places where Wi-Fi is not available or there are only a few places where it is. However, if you’re living in a major city, then you should be able to quickly find some good Wi-Fi spots around.
