Netflix

I've always enjoyed this streaming service until recently January 2025. I have trouble getting episodes to load on my tvs or phones. sometimes it freezes on my tv and then my TV restarted back to my home screen. No other apps do this. I'm just tired of the over priced service and recent issues with the platform. I have a few other streaming services I also purchased on black Friday for very cheap. So I'll manage without it for a while.

Simple things like adjusting the volume, pausing, and rewinding causes not only the app to crash, but locks up everything else. All the good shows are old shows and anything new is available on several other streaming services. I am tired of investing in a show only for it to be cancelled. I cannot name a single Netflix show that naturally ended. Price has quadrupled in like 5 years. I don't think Netflix will be around much longer.

I got Netflix so I can watch the premiere of WWE. Little did I know You cannot cast from the app. All my other apps can cast so this issue is solely on Netflix app. They wouldn't even let me mirror it. I had to spend about 30 minutes trying to figure out how to get it to play on my computer then mirror it via HDMI cable to the TV. This should have been a simple two second thing to enjoy a wonderful event yet I had to miss the whole beginning because of poor planning on Netflix.

It's a fine app function and performance-wise but the brightness control is ridiculous. It absolutely shouldn't be included at all (my phone has a brightness slider for a reason, apps should not be overriding that) but the minimum brightness you can select is also SO BRIGHT. It's totally unusable in the dark as a result, and I for one find it frustrating to have an app I can only use for part of the day. Especially a very expensive subscription based app.

When watching the display gets obnoxiously bright. Sliding the left brightness bar all the way to low doesn't help either. It's still very bright. It absolutely ruins the experience when watching in dark rooms. I purposely don't watch at night. Netflix, please fix this this is a deal breaker. Tltr: even with the dimmest settings and slider bar all the way low, the content still displays bright. Such issues are not on iPhone. Only on my android pixel 9 pro xl. Netflix please fix this.

So netflix allows you to pay extra for multiple profiles on your account. But they've changed it so that all your accounts MUST be used at the same address or they lock up your login forcing you to use two factor authentication and tell them why you're logging in from somewhere else. If im PAYING for multiple profiles I should be able to have them logged in ANYWHERE. Yet another reason to switch streaming services.

Overall I like Netflix but I have a few serious gripes. First off the new interface is insanely bad. Whoever came up with it doesn't understand what they are doing. Second, Netflix just kills shows way to randomly and doesn't make tv. Floor is lava for example. Why 5 episodes a season? Why no season in years. Same with StoryBots. Just weird decision making that you don't get on the other services that seem to value their content more.

Love this app. Some of my favorite shows are on here that wouldn't be anywhere else. Just sometimes I wish Netflix wouldn't cancel some shows but it's alright. One thing I wish they could add is like a "watch list" or "watch later" so you can add shows/movies you want to watch but haven't yet. Also I wish they would get rid of the privacy thing. I want to be able to be on call with my friend and share my screen so they can see it it without it just going black. But other than that great app!

Netflix is getting worse and worse. No password sharing. Limited screens. Price hike up to 16$ for no additional benefits. So I switch to their new ad version. And now I can no longer cast to my TV. Making Netflix officially useless. And 8$ more per month is way too much to ask for to be able to watch Netflix on my TV. I would assume a lot of people use chrome cast so this is a deliberate dig to force people into pay more for something that should be a basic feature on every plan.

The entire world gathered to watch the Tyson fight and instead watched a black screen fail to load as Netflix dropped the ball and proved they can't handle viewership of this level. You guys ruined something truly special. Edit: A week later and not a day has gone by where this product functions as intended. I always have to restart to app, the device, or it just refuses to load the videos. Netflix is pure garbage and I could not recommend it any less.
