Great app~! It's so easy to use and so amazing. However, it doesn't have any anime on it. Netflix has anime, unlike this app.

I don't think this app is supported anymore. Most of these features don't
work and they don't reply to complaints. It used to be a great app, but
it's sucked for months now.
★★☆☆☆
Stopped updating Use to be my go to app to check what is new on Netflix but recently the "New" list stopped updating. The new titles however, appear in the "Search" feature if queried... Please fix
