Netflix 4.0 for Windows Phone gets Cortana integration, new user experience and more!

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.
