My complaints about Netflix on the Ipad:
- Too slow - basically just a web site interface with a spinning graphic that appears after every action, and takes too long to complete.
- Lots of stuff not available - half the stuff I want to watch is not available via the Ipad - you need to get a physical DVD sent in order to watch it.
- Streaming is glitchy and sometimes unwatchable. It usually happens near the end of a show or movie you're watching, when all the sudden the show refuses to continue, and apparently the stream goes dead. You can pause/unpause a thousand times and it won't restart the stream no matter what. This totally destroys the experience and ruins the show/movie. Since streaming is the #1 most important thing the Netflix app does, don't you think they would work to make it near-perfect?!
- Many "normal" things missing, like an inability to rate shows/movies. You can see ratings, but you can't create them.
I'm disappointed by these faults, because they are fairly major, and I really, really wanted to like using Netflix on the Ipad.
