Netflix Freak is great! I still use the Netflix website to browse for movies most of the time, but Freak handles all of my queue ordering and searching. It also is a lot more efficient to use when I just want to remind myself what a particular movie in my queue is. I’m excited about being able to rate movies within the app now. Recommended for all Netflix users.
Oops. I guess I’ve always been able to rate movies in Netflix Freak. I had My Ratings hidden, and it doesn’t give you any feedback to indicate clicking on a star will do anything.
Just want to say that I have been using version 1.0 of Netflix Freak for about 3 months now and really enjoy it. A very handy app if you’re a Netflix subscriber.
I was really disappointed when the developer of Netflix Fanatic was basically forced to stop developing and distributing that program, but it’s nice to see that Netflix Freak has picked up the ball and is running with it.
Yet another piece of great shareware that is worth the nominal fee!
Why am I always the last to hear about these things? Another kick ass app brought to my attention by MDN.
Thanks!
i love netflix, and thanks mdn for bringing this to our attention. man i wish i had known about this a long time ago. i have over 450 titles in my queue,and managing them via netflix can be combersome.
