Why exactly a 30 day rotation schedule? To me it puts a lot of pressure on the subscriber to view a particular movie within that timeframe. Sometimes you're too busy or on vacation and you don't have enough time to view all the movies you're interested in. How about a hybrid model that combines the 30 day streaming service with a 3 month VOD service? Or a plus version of the regular subscription that offers a 90 day window for a slightly higher monthly fee?
On Android you can download a movie and view it offline for 7 days. What are the obstacles to offer something similar on other platforms?

It's also worked out quite nicely for licensing as it allows us to squeeze stuff in to short licensing windows, and just generally softens the negotiations a bit. We definitely have a million other ideas about how to expand this model in many different directions, but I won't comment on any of those yet as its all speculative at this point. For now we are trying to get people familiar with the model and improve the design because it is a bit unintuitive at first. As far as downloads, we only offer them on Android and iOS for the time being because those are the two platforms that it was feasible to implement easily. We are always looking at the possibility of bringing it to other devices and even the web, but so far it's too much effort for our small engineering team.
