Less than a week after enabling downloads of select TV shows and movies for offline viewing, Netflix on Monday beat out popular games and rival streaming services to become the top-grossing iPhone title for the first time ever.

It’s taken quite some time, but Netflix has finally released a version of its application for iOS that takes advantage of the picture-in-picture feature introduced last year with the debut of iOS 9. Available on select iPads, this option lets you continue watching a video on Netflix after closing the app using the Home button or by switching to a different application.When you do so…

You can now watch shows and movies from Netflix while doing other stuff on your iPad. Today the company rolled out an app update that takes advantage of the Picture in Picture feature of iOS, which lets you shrink videos down to a smaller window and use another app at the same time. Netflix says the new functionality supports compatible iPads running iOS 9.3.2 — the latest version — and beyond....

The Netflix app for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch has been updated to bring high-definition video streaming to devices running iOS 7. The release also adds support for AirPlay, and some improvements and optimizations that make the app more stable under Apple’s latest software.

Netflix has updated its iOS app today to include its “Super HD” streaming for iOS 7, a feature that the video site made available to all its members last week, regardless of their Internet Service Provider....

Netflix has updated its iOS app to support HD streaming and AirPlay. After noting that HD streaming was coming well over a year ago, today's update apparently brings high-quality video to iOS devices for the first time. We've been unable to get the feature working in either the UK or the US. We had similar issues with AirPlay. The update claims to enable AirPlay streaming for iOS 7, so long as you disable AirPlay mirroring. We've been unable to stream anything but audio to an Apple TV, however, and...

There are many thousands of apps. Whatever your goal, as Apple’s erstwhile advertising campaign proclaimed, “There’s an app for that.” But some apps are simply must-haves—whether for their functionality, their interface brilliance, or just their entertainment factor. Here are ten apps your new iPhone shouldn’t be without....

Back in the dark ages of the internet, if you wanted streaming video you had to deal with too few options and too many janky browser interfaces. But we've entered a golden era of streaming; almost every major provider has tablet and phone-friendly apps, meaning you never have to suffer through the malaise of being without on-demand television and movies anywhere you go....

Netflix on Thursday rolled out a long-awaited feature to its iOS and Apple TV apps, allowing subscribers to maintain separate profiles for individual users sharing one account.

Apple's App Store remade the world of software and mobile and, as I see it, all for the better.

Marking the fifth anniversary of the iPhone App Store, Apple has sent a poster to members of the press marking the many milestones the digital download destination has seen over its first half-decade.

Apple’s App Store recently hit its 50 billionth download. Since its launch in July 2008, the store has been the go-to place for mobile apps. To this day, mobile developers often choose to release their apps here first. Popular from the start, just seven months after the App Store’s launch, the store surpassed one million third party apps, many of those free.

Lots of great new apps launched this week. Disney released Story, a new app that uses the location and time stamp on photos you take with your iPhone to instantly create a digital storybook based on different events. Zynga released a new game in its "With Friends" series called Running With Friends, an infinite running game that has you compete against friends to see how long you can survive, and Flipboard updated its Android app, bringing support for magazines and other content to the platform.

Netflix has added its slick post-play feature to its iOS apps. The feature was originally introduced last August for the web player, PS3 and Xbox 360 and it allows users to watch more content automatically without having to tinker with the remote or user interface. When watching a TV show, the next episode automatically cues up and will start as soon as the current episode ends. This is awesome when binge watching episodes of your favorite series -- or of a newly discovered favorite.

Netflix on Thursday updated its native iOS app with two post-play features and some enhanced second screen options. You can download the latest app now directly from Apple’s App Store....

From the moment it debuted for iOS, the free Netflix video-streaming app has been a must-have for nearly all owners of Apple’s tablet.

This holiday season, you've plugged that very important hole in your life — the one between your smartphone and your computer. Whether it's the 9.7-inch iPad or the new 7.9-inch iPad mini, you're now in possession of a device that not only has a great screen and a fast processor, but one that gains you access into one of the best app stores on the planet. The iOS App Store has an incredible number of great apps and games, but the best ones can be hard to find among the huge selection. Of course you...

If you were lucky enough to receive a new iPad for the holidays this year, we hope you have fun exploring what the tablet has to offer. By now you've probably acquainted yourself with the built-in apps on your iPad, so you may want to reach outside the sandbox for more interesting fare. The App Store, which you can access on your iPad or via iTunes on your computer, features more than 750,000 downloadable apps. If there’s something you want to do on your iPad, chances are good you can find a tool for it...

This week’s roundup of iOS apps is rocking it old-school. Old baseball, old music, old presidents, and more....

Kicking off this week’s must-have apps roundup is an awesome new Twitter client that reminds me of the old (and awesome) Tweetie app — before Twitter bought it and ruined it. It’s accompanied by Camera+, which now supports the iPhone 5’s larger display, and comes to the iPad; an awesome new update to Mixel; and more.

It might not have been ready for launch day, but Netflix has just released an update to its iOS app with optimizations for iOS 6 and the iPhone 5. When Apple announced that its latest handset (and iPod touch) would contain a 4-inch Retina display, the company highlighted video as one of the taller screen's key advantages. Users would be able to watch movies using the industry standard 16:9 aspect ratio without any letterboxing or black bars, and now that luxury has arrived for Netflix subscribers. Other...

Netflix today updated its native iOS app with iPhone 5 and iOS 6 support. You can grab the latest version now from the official Apple App store. Here are two…

Entertainment Netflix updated its iOS app to version 2.4 on Thursday, making it compatible with the taller iPhone 5 screen and iOS 6. The company said in addition to those...

Netflix teased this update earlier, and now it has delivered full support for the iPhone 5‘s larger screen and new aspect ratio. It’s a change that means users get access to an improved browsing experience, more content on menu screens visible at once, and also fullscreen playback of videos in 16:9 format, instead of presenting them letterboxed.

If you’re reading this, there’s a decent chance you got up early this morning for Apple’s version of Christmas Day—the launch of the iPhone 5. The phone is cool, of course, but apps are what make it useful and fun. This week’s roundup of new and updated apps includes apps for gaming, apps for grocery shopping—and a navigation app that takes advantage of changes to the phone’s native Maps app....

Internet streaming giant Netflix this morning announced on its blog that it is today debuting a fresh application for iPhone and iPod touch, right in time for the arrival of…

Netflix has released an update to its iOS app which features an all-new player interface and easy-access audio language options. The audio options are accessible through what used to be the subtitle menu, which now sits at the top of the screen alongside volume and Facebook sharing options (if your account is linked to Facebook). Playback controls are now less intrusive, sitting along the bottom of the screen, rather than the previous version's Quicktime-style transparent pop-up. Aside from the UI...

Recognising that its users are watching more and more of its content from a mobile device, Netflix has today pushed live an update to its iOS app, improving its video…

Netflix is the latest big-name app to get the Retina-treatment for the new iPad. In addition to higher-quality images throughout the app, Netflix says that version 2.1.1 has fixes for VoiceOver, AirPlay, and stability. What Netflix doesn't say but is readily apparent after you load the update is that it seems faster overall. Netflix's official Twitter account brings better news: proper HD video streaming is "to follow later." That's one way to get to the limit of your LTE plan, we suppose. Netflix has...

The thing about the iPad's new retina screen and processor is that yes, they're nice, but it's up to developers to take full advantage of it. Here's how some of the better retina iPad apps compare to their iPad 2 equivalents. We played Infinity Blade 2 and RealRacing2HD, both of which were updated for the new retina display. For RealRacer, there was a noticeable difference in the textures, but the animations were the same. Because of the way your eyes work in a racing game, it was pretty hard to tell....

Netflix updated the UI on its iPad version of their iOS app yesterday and I have to say, it's pretty stellar. Now I have another reason to lie in bed and watch episodes of Archer. The updated UI brings more content to the app's home page. The bottom menu bar is gone. Users flick up and down to see what they're currently watching, their instant queue, movies they may enjoy, and recently added movies and TV shows. Unfortunately, it looks like the iPhone hasn't gotten the new UI. Good news for Latin...

Netflix's Android app got a makeover recently, and today the company's iPad equivalent has been updated with the same new look. The entire interface has been more optimized for touch input, relying on a scrolling collection of movie / TV posters laid out in horizontal strips by type. The streamlined design is much simpler, only offering a browse button at the top left for viewing specific categories, and a search bar on the right. Instead of displaying a version of the Netflix site when you click a...

Remember Netflix’s plan to radically redesign their iPad app’s UI that we were so crazy about? Well, it’s here now, and it looks fantastic. That’s not all that’s new for Apple fans, though.

Sudden changes to App Store rankings for both free and paid games and applications has led to speculation that Apple has changed its App Store ranking algorithm. The App Store’s bestselling chart was previously based purely on the number of times an app was downloaded; now it seems like application usage is also taken into account when iOS apps are ranked. One of the most noticeable shifts for an application was to the official Facebook app, which jumped straight to the number 1 spot in the free chart a...

If you're planning to grab the newly available Verizon-flavored iPhone, chances are you're new to the wondrous world of iOS, and therefore in need of a solid list of...

You've seen the commercials; Apps are what makes an iPad come to life. Here are the very best ones for work, play, creation, consumption and everything in between. Twitter: The official Twitter app for iPad packs in the features, giving you a full Tweet-and-browse experience. It can be a little bit overwhelming at first, but powerful things often are. Free. Flipboard: A true testament to the iPad's transformative powers, Flipboard scrapes your Twitter and Facebook feeds for links and arranges them in a...

Well, weren't you a good boy and/or girl this year! That iPad's going to be your favorite new toy no matter what, but here's how to squeeze the most out of it from day one. I'll assume you've successfully removed the iPad from its box, yes? Good. You're a natural! Now trot on over to your computer and plug it in with that fancy 30-pin connector (also, don't lose that connector—it's proprietary to Apple). Once you're hooked up, iTunes will walk you through the registration process. It's pretty...

There's an ocean of apps out there. Whether you just got your iPhone and are feeling adrift or you're a salty old dog seeing what you might've missed, here are the absolutely essential apps. Twitter: Twitter thankfully didn't make too many changes when they gobbled up the already-great Tweetie 2 from Atebits—same clean interface, same Tweet swiping, and the same it-feels-so-good pull to refresh mechanism. Free. Facebook: The new, panel-based interface takes a little getting used to, but once you're...

Looks like the Netflix iPhone app got a nice new feature with its latest update: Video out support. This means that you can send whatever video you're streaming to a bigger screen without much fuss.

Fans of Netflix with an iPhone and/or iPod Touch, the time has come.  As promised at the unveiling of iPhone 4 in June, Netflix has lauched their app for the …

Oh, man. It’s here. We’ve been hoping for Netflix instant streaming support to hit the iPhone and iPod Touch ever since it landed on the iPad, and we’ve been waiting on the edge of our collective seat since the company demonstrated it at WWDC. The wait.. its over!

Today, while most of the U.S. was sleeping, Apple approved the Netflix update which brings universal support for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. On the iPad, it doesn’t do much beyond adding a new icon, but I couldn’t access Netflix until I updated.

Hardly a secret after it was demo-ed at WWDC in June, Netflix's iPhone and iPod Touch apps are now available on the App Store. Sorry Android users, there's still no sign of an app for you.

Netflix on Thursday updated its iOS App Store software, bringing compatibility for iPhone and iPod touch users to stream movies and manage their Instant Watch queue.

There’s a movement underfoot. A movement to break free of cable provider’s high costs and poor service. A movement to time- and device-shift. A movement to watch what we want, where we want, when we want. So let’s take a look at Hulu Plus and Netflix.

In less than 24-hours the iPad will finally be released. Now, the hardware, however sexy it might be, is not why so many people are itching to buy the device: It's all...

With iPad applications now available on Apple's App Store, two high-profile streaming software releases are now available from U.S. broadcast network ABC and movie rental service Netflix.
