Video-on-demand platforms do not stop growing and improving as the years have passed since their appearance. Among them we have a wide range to choose from, among which we find proposals such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, HBO , etc.
There are several sections here that are directly related to the users’ own choices for their favorites. Of course, here it is worth highlighting both the quantity and the quality of the proposed content, but not only that. It is also important that these companies offer good quality of service, reliability in playback and compatibility with devices and systems. For example, if we focus on one of the best known alternatives of this type, such as Netflix , it has its own app for several of these.
In fact, in these same lines we are going to talk about the native Netflix app for Windows 10 that we can find in the Microsoft Store. This UWP app gives us the possibility, once we have registered on the platform, to access all Netflix content. It also has some customization and adaptation functions, but surely we are missing some that would not hurt. That is why we are going to talk about some of these features that you would probably like to have natively in the Netflix app for Windows 10 .
Profile management
Many of the users use several different profiles in their Netflix account in order to facilitate the use of the platform by several users. These are created and deleted from time to time, at the moment in which the account administrator so stipulates. But this management will have to be done from the Netflix web application, since from the UWP we can differentiate those profiles, but not manage them.
Eliminate automated trailers
Many Windows 10 users complain about the high consumption of Windows 10 resources and therefore their Store applications, the UWPs. But if we add to that that when you start them, videos start to play automatically and without being able to remedy it, even worse. This is something that is especially evident in older computers or with somewhat limited resources.
This is due to the, sometimes, annoying trailers that begin to reproduce by themselves when opening the app, something that would not be bad if we could deactivate from the application .
More categories to search from
In the same way, it would be very appreciated if the content searches in this section were improved a little. And it is that sometimes finding something that we would like to see, or on a specific theme, is a somewhat complicated task. It is true that by scrolling we can find some categories, but there are many more that would greatly refine the searches.
Be able to view recent playback activity
From the Netflix web application we have the possibility to see the latest reproductions of video content that have been made from the account. However, this is something that we cannot do from the Windows 10 app. This is a feature that can be very useful in certain cases.
