As the mobile trafic increases, the video viewing on smartphones is taking off too. Nowadays high-quality video streams are watchable within a reasonable speed. The only problem is about the fact that most users have wireless plans that only allow a limited amount of data usage (usually 2 to 5GB per month).
Until recently, the Netflix iOS app streames videos regardless the connection of the member. This new version considers this fact and lets 4G and LTE iPad owners limit streaming.
The new WiFi setting is part of a massive redesign, which also includes, according to techcrunch:
a pretty massive update to the Netflix player. The new player design adds a more consistent look and feel across Netflix’s mobile applications, and provides larger, easier-to-use play controls for watching on tablets and mobile devices. It also adds thumbnail images that users can see when scrolling back and forth with the scrub bar, as well as easier access to audio and subtitle features.
Also for the Canadian suscribers – where Netflix is integrated with Facebook – the app has a more visible “do not share” feature.
