Netflix is arguably one of the most popular video-streaming services today, so not having an update for the Windows Phone Netflix app since January has been a bit painful.

Luckily, today that pain ends as version 4.0 has hit the Store, and it chock full of features, fixes, and improvements.

Netflix for Windows Phone v4.0.0.13

  • New User experience
  • Profile selection
  • Post-play
  • Better video quality
  • Application tile
  • Content pinning
  • Cortana search

Yes, it looks like Netflix has added everything users have been waiting for, including user Profile selection. There is also the new UI, a new application tile, and even Cortana.

Speaking of Cortana, you can directly ask the search assistant such things as:

  • "Netflix find House of Cards"
  • "Netflix look for Bill Burr"
  • "Netflix look up Attack on Titan"

Interestingly, the app is still for all versions of Windows Phone, including 7.x. A longtime in the making, it is great see this app get such a massive refresh before 2014 ended. Go grab it now and let us know in comments what you think.

Thanks, Victor V., for the tip!
