Phone Flix – Netflix

If you’re a Netflix subscriber this free app is a great one to have. It allows you to search for movies and update your queue from your phone. There have been a couple of times when I’ve walked into Walmart, right past the signs advertising movies to come. I’ll have one of those “oh yes, I was going to get a sitter and drag the husband to that chick flick but then life intervened” moments. Instead of forgetting again I pull out the phone and add the movie to my queue – right in the produce section, how cool is that! It’s just a matter of typing in the name of the movie, clicking “add to queue” and then moving it to the top if you want it to be your next movie. All the basic features from the Netflix website are here and portable.

To give you an idea of how easy this app is to use, one day my four year old had my phone and told me he was looking at movies for the mailbox. He’d figured out how to search for movies and then add them to the queue by himself. He hasn’t learned how to move them to the top yet but that’s okay with me. We don’t need Batman cartoons coming one after another for the next 6 months.
