Just out of curiosity, how well does the Netflix App work for the Ipad? I've been hearing rumors that movies have been choppy, some have been cutting out and some of the on demand movies won't even stream? I am not a Netflix memember and I am wondering if it's worth getting it since I specifically want it for the Ipad! Any other Movie Apps you recommend besides the Itunes store?
I think the Netflix app is one of the best out right now. I have had no problem streaming with it (if it's choppy it's probably because of your Internet connection). The quality is top notch in my opinion. I hope they can make the app a little more user friendly, but it's pretty good for 1.0.
Yes the quality is very nice, looked very clear. I have it on a stand to watch movies while I work (I work from home). I watched it all day and haven't experienced any choppiness, but only when the Internet slowed down. I compared the quality side by side with my cinema display and I have to say quaility on the iPad I believe is better then the desktop silverlight player version, like the video quality is better on the Roku player.
Works very nicely on mine. You can move to any part of the movie very quickly, also, which surprised me. The only problem is that Netflix isn't offering much that you can download immediately. Don't know if they plan to offer more in the future.
Overall, I've been really happy using the Netflix app and have watched several movies with it. However, one night soon after I got my iPad I was trying to watch a movie and the playback was very choppy and I had trouble re-connecting. I thought perhaps it might have been Netflix's server overloaded by everyone with their new iPads trying out their app. Other than that one time, playback has been fast and problem-free. I've really enjoyed the Netflix app.
The quality is very nice. I have had no problems with the app. There is something like 17,000 instant watch titles available now. If you like to watch movies from all generes, it is definitely worth the 9.00 a month subscription fee.
