| PC World - 6 hours ago (PC World)On Thursday, July 25, Netflix finally rolled out its updated app for Windows on the Microsoft Store, but the new version isn’t likely to get the thumbs up from users. In fact, it’s downright disappointing.
The update was first announced back in May, in which Netflix said the native app would be retired by June. After some delay, the update was quickly tested in July before being pushed live.

What’s changed? The biggest difference is that the Windows app for Netflix is no longer a full-fledged app. Annoyingly, it’s now just a simple Microsoft Edge-based web app that runs netflix.com.
Another big change is the removal of downloads, an important feature in the original app that allowed you to save content locally for offline viewing. The removal of this feature—which came in handy while, for example, traveling—is a huge step back for laptop users.
Windows Latest describes the new app as awful and pointless, as you can watch Netflix just as easily via any web browser.
“The new version will now include access to live events, compatibility with ad-supported plans, and more,” Netflix support reportedly said. “Mostly, it will remains same. As the browser streaming does not support Downloads, same way new Netflix App won’t be supporting downloads. Only streaming online can be done. You can continue to watch TV shows and movies offline on a supported mobile device.”
