Wow, sounds like it was almost useless before. You couldn't even resume where you left off? Talk about a neglected version. But good that it's finally caught up to where other versions have been for years.

"ALMOST USELESS!!!"

yeah, almost useless. Ive been watching netflix since 2013 on my wiiu but it was almost useless.

It was fine. Now its a little bit prettier

 

[Dicer]

The upgrade is really nice, it was quite shit before this...

Nice work Netflix

 

[Ruud_Luiten]

It's nice that they finally updated it. I was beginning to think they never would.

He really struck a cord didn't he?

I guess some gaffers will be very happy with this.
I have someone in my friendlist, Shue I think? I swear he/she is always playing netflix, whenever I power my Wii U!

On how many devices can we install Netflix ?

 

[Mareg]

I went ahead and logged on my Wii U yesterday.
Logged onto the store and searched for the netflix app. It was there but there were no mention of any update. The app seemed to work perfectly and it resumed and skipped automatically to the next episode.

Is it obviously written when an app gets updated on the store ?

Not on vita tv.

You go to the My Downloads section for Updates. You don't have to go to the eShop to get them on Wii U.

 

[kinggroin]

Finally. Looks like its time to let my kids back on the tablet! Good times

 

[iKhayal18]

Great news! I guess us Spanish users will get the best experience from the start now that the service is coming here in October.

Now, it would be great if Youtube did the same and improved their Youtube app, which was great at the beginning but has been getting worse gradually...

 

[Elixist]

I believe the Netflix app is primarily web-based. In other words, the actual "app" on the console is just a wrapper that loads a specialized web page and handles video playback. So all Netflix had to do was update that specialized web page on their servers, and as long as the wrapper app could still handle it, it didn't need to download an update.

Never knew it was so gimped, these features are old on every other platform

Anyone got any idea how to turn down or turn off the volume on the GamePad..? Having the volume on both is doing my head in!!!

There's a volume slider on top of the GamePad.

 

[alf717]

Nice update. Using it right now.

 

[krizalidzero]

The only reason I never used Netflix on my Wii U was that I couldn't use profiles since my account defaults to someone else's....

FINALLY!!!

BTW: Netflix once said that it was the Wii U's fault and that these things couldn't be done... Lazy mofos.

Oops, well that's embarrassing lol

Thanks for that!

 

[Frodo]

I can't believe it took them so long to do this! But I'm glad they did.

I had stopped using the Wii U for Netflix and moved to the PS4, but now Wii U >>> PS4 for me. When will Amazon Prime, tbh?

Amazon Prime needs LOADS of work but I'm not holding my breathe lol. Adding subtitles would be a good start, my hearing is screwed due to being in a couple of bands and working in a biker's pub for 10 years.

the disc drive also finally stops now when u start the app. like the youtube app does. awesome
