Netflix Makes iOS Binge-Viewers Happy With New Update

Netflix has added its slick post-play feature to its iOS apps.

The feature was originally introduced last August for the web player, PS3 and Xbox 360 and it allows users to watch more content automatically without having to tinker with the remote or user interface.

When watching a TV show, the next episode automatically cues up and will start as soon as the current episode ends. This is awesome when binge watching episodes of your favorite series — or of a newly discovered favorite.

For movies, users get a choice of three movie recommendations that can be selected for easy, fast playback. Movies don't start automatically, so you don't have to worry abut getting sucked into something you don't want to watch.

We can't help but think that the roll out of post-play is tied indirectly with the upcoming fourth season of Arrested Development. That's a show plenty of fans (myself included) are sure to binge-watch in quick succession. Read more…
