What was Amazon and Netflix thinking?
I don't like being forced to upgrade apps, especially ones that absolutely do not work. One of the reasons I bought the FireTV device was because it had Netflix integrated. The latest version absolutely sucks, does not work on FireTV, and Amazon forced the upgrade, clearly without testing. It has been broken for a month now. Amazon should A) not force people to update B) test the apps they allow onto their platform and C) allow people to downgrade when the app doesn't work. I blame Amazon as much as Netflix. I bought FT in part for NF and IT DOES NOT WORK! Where's my partial refund? UPDATE: Hmm, I see plenty of new, very short, very positive reviews for the current version of Netflix. I think something is up with salted reviews for the *free* 'verified purchases' of Netflix. Now, testing connectivity within the Netflix app says it has quick and confirmed access to the NF servers, but all attempts to load ANY show/movie fails to load and tells me to try again later. This has been going on for weeks now, even with a couple of re-installations of the app. If some are getting it to work, good for them. But I think most of the recent short 5 star reviews are fake. Buyer beware. ADDITIONAL UPDATE: Netflix has been requiring frequent re-logins for me and others which is an absolute pain on a FireTV, with its horrible input method. I hope you have a short email address and password if you plan to use this app. And I continue to see what appear to be fake positive reviews to keep the rating up. How about make a good product and stop breaking it?
