“Netflix sucks now — Unfortunately, what used to be great comes to an end. Netflix use to have lots of shows and movies, now barely has any that are in demand. Additionally, for the money that is paid for a subscription, we can’t even stream outside the household. This is very dumb and frustrating as it feels like a waste of money. Probably going to cancel and switch to a better service. Netflix has turned into an…” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“TheTruthTeller — I’ve out of may house less than a month and it thinks I’m sharing my account because I’m on another WiFi this should be illegal we pay for the streaming even if you did share a account who cars your already charging 3 times the price u greedy a holes” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Not a streaming service — If I am paying for a subscription I should be able to use it anywhere I want. This whole having to connect to the home internet is absurd. People travel frequently for work and are unable to use the subscription they pay for. Horrible, this used to be the best service but I’m definitely not renewing my subscription.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English

“Never plays second ad, freezes — The second ad of a two ad sequence never plays except for the audio. It then freezes and doesn’t return to the show I was watching. I have to close the app and reopen. It’s made Netflix completely unusable.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Good content, crummy app — I write this regarding not just the mobile app, but also the Roku and Samsung versions.

I’ll hit play again and then it starts me in a different episode. Once I find the right one and I finish the episode instead of going to…” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“It’s awful — So it always kicks me out and it always gives me an error and it always restarts my account and then I can’t get in.
