Default Netflix app insanely laggy

Hey all. Is anyone else having major problems with Netflix? When trying to navigate through the library it is painfully slow, I am talking 6 second delay and then a choppy partial scroll when trying to scroll. I have uninstalled updates and cleared cache to no avail. Haven't rooted yet so I cant do a complete uninstall.

I have this issue.. the netflix app is extremely laggy and unresponsive to me. Can't scroll because it thinks I am clicking where I start the scroll. Pages take forever to load. Very frustrating.

Otherwise happy with my infinity!

Yeah the netflix app is unusable in its current state. If you force 2D hardware rendering it does perform quite a bit better, but still damn clunky and way to slow to use IMO.

I am also having the same issue. Purchased my tablet from Amazon and this weekend I was playing around with it. Netflix very slow.

I've been going to the website and adding videos to the instant queue so I don't have to scroll on the Netflix app. The actual streaming works quite well though.

Yeah It does look good once you get it started. Its pretty crazy that they put the app on here stock in its current state though.

At least you can open your Netflix, mine just crashes when i try to open it. (As does the website... which is pretty odd)
Can anyone post the latest apk - I cant seem to download it from play.
Edit:
Don't worry, they updated their description on the play store with a download link.

Default netflix on tf700

So my wife's Nexus 7 tablet does not have the slow Netflix experience.
However my TF700 and MK802 both have the slow Netflix.

Considering the Nexus 7 and the TF700 are both Asus Tegra3 devices, can only guess it might be a problem with ICS, solved with the butter in Jelly bean.

Given that the MK802 is an ICS device with the same slowness, it does at least support the theory.


Did try netflix on my old SPH-D700 (Samsung Epic 4G) running on Gingerbread, and the netflix app seems entirely different, and has no scrolling lag. So That narrows it down to the tablet version of netflix on ICS.

Does anybody have another device that it works well?
Maybe it's optimized for some specific GPU?

More likely it's a resolution issue. 1920x1080 takes a lot more rendering power than 1280x720.
