Good for you! Don't use it! Myself and many MILLIONS of others who do have Netflix accounts enjoy being able to stream video to a variety of different devices. The more the merrier!

I'll be using it for sure and just downloaded it right now and I'm many others will too. This is the only app that you can stream Netflix movies and of course add and remove movies.
Other apps only allow you to add or remove movie.

Annoyed Android user...android apps are easier to write than apple apps; if they had started both at the same time, they would have apps for both by now!

Why does everything have to start on Apple when it's easier to write code for Android, and the OS is used in more phones than the iPhone? Basically in a year or so ther will more Android phones than iPhones. If they were serious you would think they'd go after the bigger market first.

At the moment, Apple still has the lead. None the less, they are developing apps for both because they are smart enough to see that Android already has a good share of the market, and their market share is growing 20x faster than apple (at least). Given the fact that they are doing both anyway, it seems a bit dumb to delay one of them. But then, it isn't the first time netflix has delayed the release for my device; I also have a PS3.
BTW...how did this get onto the imarket? I mean, it must use a lot of bandwidth, and it uses a video standard that is neither quicktime nor HTML5, and people want it...by apple standards, it should have been blocked three times.

In response to the poster who wasn't using the netflix app cause he doesn't like how netflix is everywhere, may I ask how that could possibly be so bad? You don't have to use it if you don't want to, as you've clearly stated that you won't. Just curious

If people don't like movies, TV, or documentaries, then netflix does not offer much. Also, if someone only watches TV for background noise, then netflix offers little over ordinary broadcast TV. Oh, and if you only watch 1-2 movies a month, and you don't care how bad the movies are or what they are about, then you can always use redbox.
...For those of us who actually enjoy such mediums however, netflix is a great deal...even back when the streaming was just to PCs.
