Comments on: Verizon Includes Free Month With Redbox Instant, Once You Have Beta Access http://www.droid-life.com/2013/01/14/verizon-includes-free-month-with-redbox-instant-once-you-have-beta-access/ An intense Android news community bringing you the latest in phones, rooting, apps, and reviews.

That’s pretty bad. Even if the app is still in beta. When Netflix was first released to the Play Store, it wasn’t THAT horrible. So there ya go, that’s your answer. It’s just a bad app/streaming service.

But hey, if you love streaming horribly bad quality videos, that’s all fine and dandy. Whatever floats your boat.

Even for a free month, still not worth the effort.

And like someone else just said, the RI app has been getting some less than satisfactory reviews so I’m not going to waste my time on a so-called streaming service.

I just bought a Note 2 last week, and am itching to root it and may also consider using that ROM.

I have an unrooted Nexus 7 and the video doesn’t play, just sound. The screen flickers too.

Selection is poor!

However, you can’t pay the extra dollar during the beta/free month. If you do, then you pay the full 9 dollars.

Everywhere else though.

There’s nothing worse than waking up on an important day and my radios aren’t working. Or my phone won’t fricking boot. I hated it all and so much time was wasted… this was on my GNex. RIght now I see no point of flashing any ROMs, but I do plan to when Android 5.0 comes out and a stock 5.0 ROM will be available… but I will probably have a new phone by then. Have two upgrades available in September, very interested in what phones will be out in Q3 and Q4! :) @tim242:disqus

1. Full screen on a 16:9 television is not 16:9, it has a border about 2″ all the way around.

2. The damn play/pause bar doesn’t disappear while watching a movie.

3. Every movie on the subscription page is on Netflix. If they want to prove something let me stream a movie that’s in the kiosk not make me watch a subscribed movie or rent a kiosk movie.

I had high hopes for this and I am very unimpressed. Leave it to Big Red to somehow ruin a good thing.

I think there just isn’t a good model for them to limit your streaming, because then it will be even more apparent that this service is crap.

At my local RedBox, when you have a “free DVD code”, you can enter it for a Bluray rental and only pay $0.32, or something like that, instead of the full price of a Bluray. So I guess that is both a yes and a no.

I used to love that Netflix service could be used on ton of different devices that I own. Then you had to get greedy and without grandfathering loyal customers slammed a huge rate hike at us and said too bad if you don’t like it…..’you’ll be back’. Well guess what Reed? I never came back and that RedBox kiosk is just a short drive anyway and I love my BluRay’s! I am glad to see RedBox streaming!

BuuuBye Reed and your greed. It’s not missed here! Netflix who?!?

I am out of contract on my Droid X and the next phone I buy won’t have that stupid F’n Blockbuster app on it either.
