【】Orange is The New Black, Narcos

Netflix finally, finally。lets you download movies and TV shows for offline viewing. 。

It's really catch-up for Netflix, to be honest. Amazon Video has had downloading and offline viewing for over a year now. Still, better late than never.
。

The only thing you'll need to do to start downloading videos for offline watching is update the Netflix app for iOS 8 or later or Android 4.4.2 or later. 。

I took the new feature for a spin on an iPhone 7 and Google Pixel XL to see if it's any good. 。

To start, downloading content is really easy. There's a new "Available for Download" section in the navigation menu. Click it and you'll be brought to a page of content.。

Netflix's blog post says there's "plenty of content" available for download, including。 Netflix's blog post says there's "plenty of content" available for download, including。Orange is The New Black, Narcos 。and 。The Crown。

."。 My own check confirms there's a good amount of original Netflix series available, but not a whole lot of movies. And yes,Master of None。 and。Stranger Things。

No more waiting for videos to buffer! No more waiting for videos to buffer!
。 Videos look good. Not crispy-sharp or anything, but they look good enough on a phone screen. And offline viewing is pretty cool. I can't wait to download Netflix shows and watch them on my train commute where the LTE connection always cuts in and out. No more waiting for videos to buffer!。 One thing to note is that you'll only be able to download videos to one device per account. When I tried to download the videos to my Pixel XL, the app threw up this message:。Credit: screenshot: raymond wong/mashable。
