Netflix
For: Android

Netflix has followed up its new app for iOS with a version for Android users using a revamped navigation system.

At the top of the new browse screen on Android phones is a row that lets you continue watching material previously started watching right where it was left off. Lower down are several personalised rows filled with film and TV programme recommendations.

Tapping the browse menu gives a list of genre galleries that show even more titles organised into categories. A tap on any title presents all of the information for that title, and a double-tap on any title starts instant playback. Also, search is available everywhere in the application, so you can always find what you are looking for.
