Netflix VR is an innovative Android app that integrates the functionalities of Netflix with virtual reality.

Uniquely Compatible with Google Daydream

Netflix VR is an innovative application that works seamlessly with Google's Daydream virtual reality device, with prospects of extending its compatibility to more platforms in the foreseeable future. The app provides users an immersive experience of watching television shows, films, and other Netflix content through virtual reality, which is a unique feature especially for Netflix subscribers.

Minor Technical Setbacks: Blurriness and Overheating

Despite the appealing virtual reality application, Netflix VR has minor technical setbacks. Users may experience certain blurriness while moving around the virtual reality environment, which can be a minor inconvenience. Additionally, notable heating issues have been reported wherein the app usage results in considerable device heating, as observed by our testers and reported by several users. It should be noted, while these limitations exist, the core functionality of Netflix remains steadfastly excellent, providing a vast array of content spanning across decades and genres.

Experience the Phenomenon of VR Netflix

The image quality on Netflix VR might not be as refined as its non-VR twin or on larger screens. However, those who own a VR device and are Netflix subscribers might find an added layer of entertainment in this version of the app. Subscribers can look forward to viewing Netflix's comprehensive portfolio of content in a way like never before. Despite its early-stage mildest technical hiccups, the Netflix VR rightfully earns its place among the must-have apps for early virtual reality adopters, thanks to its diverse content library that outnumbers many other apps.

Currently, Netflix VR has been tested and deemed compatible with Google Daydream View.
