The iPad offers a good Netflix viewing experience.
The Netflix app on the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad gives you a cinema experience on the go. You can download the free application in the Apple "App Store" on your mobile device and start watching movies and television shows via your Netflix account. The iPad, because of its large 9.5-by-7.3-inch screen, offers the best Netflix viewing experience. The iPhone 4's "Retina Display'' provides a stunning image, but on a smaller screen.
Home Screen
When you open the Netflix app on your mobile device, you will notice the default home screen. It provides a list of pre-selected categories and featured titles. You can select any title for a full description, title information and running time.
Title Page
On the title page for each instant-stream movie or TV show you are given the option to "Add to Instant Queue" or "Play." If you search for a title that does not provide instant-streaming capabilities, it will indicate "Disc only,'' meaning it is only available through Netflix mail delivery.
Genres
By selecting the "Genres" button you can narrow your instant-streaming choices by category. You can pick from "Television," "Comedy," "Drama," and "Documentary,'' to name a few.
Search
Select the "Search" button to enter titles or keywords. If the title is available, the Netflix app lets you tap the title image and in turn pulls up information about that film or show.
Instant Queue
By selecting the "Instant Queue" button you can view every title you have added to your queue. If you add titles from the Netflix website or from a household device, the titles are automatically synced across all devices. When you select a title from your queue, it will bring up a title page where you can tap the "Play" button to begin streaming.
Disc Only
Previous versions of the Netflix app gave users the ability to add titles to their DVD queue. However, the company has moved away from that strategy. Instead, if a title is not available for instant streaming, it is labeled "Disc only" in the search results. The app does provide recommendations, which are listed under "Similar titles to watch instantly." This change encourages Netflix users to use the application for instant streaming only.
