- mulderc 3y agoThey also have a quest app but it is awful and clearly abandoned.
- Someone1234 3y agoYeah, people pointing at the Quest app are misguided. If anything it is proof that Netflix should NOT release an app, since they aren't even willing to handle ones already out.

- fshbbdssbbgdd 3y agoAre we assuming they developed those for free?
- moondev 3y agoBoth of those devices are Android?
- wmf 3y agoAnd Vision Pro is iOS where "porting" the app consists of checking a box.
- room500 3y agoNvidia Shield is Android TV. Netflix doesn't build for the Nvidia Shield in the same way that they don't build for every TV model from every manufacturer. They have an SDK that the manufacturers integrate.
- moondev 3y agoIt also can install apk packages directly without a store, so there is no barrier to platform adoption
- Barrin92 3y agoisn't that just a differently branded glorified TV and a tablet? That probably took changing ten lines of code or something. Building an app for a VR headset I'd guess is more involved
- paxys 3y agoBoth those devices run Android apps without any modification, so it seems like this Mark Gurman may have an agenda with his reporting.
- fckgw 3y agoThe Vision Pro can run any iPad app by default and Netflix disabled that ability for their app. It's a pretty apt analogy.
