Netflix Brings Full-Season Download Feature to iPhone and iPad

[Textime]

They know how to increase prices but don’t know how to provide 4K on the iPad 💀

I needed this last week to download the entire season for my kid for a 11 hour plane ride. But now that they increased the price again, I've cancelled Netflix for good.

I wish I had this feature for a plane ride a few weeks ago.

People still subscribe to Netflix?

Yeah in record numbers, cool comment...

Go to Pakistan, set up the acc there, pay ‘nothing’ then come back to the US. bobs ur uncle. Or use a proper vpn. 🤣

To my knowledge this loophole was closed awhile ago.

Never subed to Netflix, so $0 from day 01 and it seems my will hold firm for the foreseeable future.

Capitalism is a very simple system. Companies charge what the market will bear. Consumers have the ultimate victim mentality, bitch, moan, blame everyone else and continue to pay. No matter the product.

Part of it is addiction as well. Once addicted the habit it hard to break, Netflix is no different.

After the last price hike, I thought everyone quit Netflix... for about the ninth time?

Nope

We all make choices...Companies and governments spend 100's of billions to create that addiction. Reading the top shows on Netflix I have no words. Same reaction to daytime TV.

is it really that much work to do 10 clicks instead of 1 click?

I remember when Netflix was my way of escaping paying high cable prices, and slowly it's becoming the same as having cable.

Businesses will take money from us.
if it is not Comcast it is Netflix, in few years there will be some one else
that's the goal.

That's capitalism for you. It's like being in a casino. The house ALWAYS wins eventually. The games are always rigged against you.

they let consumers win initially to let customers come in first

I think now that they are getting into live sports is what is really causing these price increases. I have no desire to watch live sports thru Netflix, especially when it causes prices to go up. That goes for all these non network TV platforms, like Amazon, etc. Stick to what you did best.

Once you go to Sports or Reality TV type stuff, you are no better than any tv station. Sad.

Right?! They will use any trick they can to separate people from their money. It's insidious. Like the video game micro transactions, they use psychological manipulation like preying on people's addictions to keep them paying. God I hate large dehumanizing corporations like Netflix.

"Full season downloads mate"

Infuse (and pCloud lifetime cloud plan) has become one of my favorite apps to use on all my Apple devices.

 

[Bengt77]

Meh. Wake me up when Netflix offers integration with the TV app on the Apple TV.

It's more of a gradual thing. As the price keeps going over some threshold, people are pushed harder to come to a decision to quit. The last price hike made me do it. There are much cheaper ways to get the same content, the value of commercially hosted on-demand streaming no longer matches the cost for many people - especially when it's not hard to self-host using Plex etc. on a Gigabit fiber connection.

I have the ad version free with T-Mobile but paid extra for 4K and ad free.
I rarely watch Netflix anymore so I just cancelled the 4K and ad free and
if I want to watch something I'll just have to see ads I guess. Realized the
last time we watched anything on Netflix was over a month ago!

More convenience is better than less convenience.

There was a joke in my post, not a comment about affordability. Basically every Netflix price hike thread has “everyone” claiming they will quit… about 9 times in a row.

I’m sure some will quit. But companies do their due diligence prior to raising prices. I’m sure between the quitters and additional revenue, it’s a net positive for Netflix.

Would be nice if these streamers had a "mark season unwatched" button for when you want to rewatch stuff..

 

[happydude]

wow so innovative

I have most everything but Netflix. Some are on black friday deals and one was paid by my credit card for 3 months.

But Disney+Hulu ad free is $20 which seems better that Netflix based on no restrictions like Netflix imposes.

That’s what the cable companies kept ssying…
