IPad Compatible

I have an iPad to test on and the existing V6 of Instant Queue Add for Netflix works fine in iPhone compatible mode. Also sales are up over the weekend as more people are thinking about Netflix on the iPad and iPhone...

I am going to make a small change that allows better integration with the Netflix app on iPad and do a simple conversion to a universal app, so all existing users will get an iPad version.

The integration is to provide an easy way to get to the Netflix website page for a movie, then you can hit the play button and it will Invoke the official Netflix app and play the movie or episode.

This message typed on the iPad, the iPhone seems so small now.....

At this point, what would you say are the advantages of IQ+ over the official Netflix app?

At present, it can be easier to navigate your queue and lists in an app rather than via the website. IQ+ also supports sorting lists, and in the future will support sorting the queue and archiving and restoring versions of the queue. You will be able to play a movie by invoking the Netflix app from IQ+.

I can not for the life of me figure out why some titles have the stars and descriptors in red. Can you kindly explain? Thank you!

The titles marked in red are going to stop being available soon, if you sort by availability end, they will all be shown at the start of the list. So you should watch them before they go away.

For the Starz related titles, Netflix only has them while Starz has them, so titles are coming and going all the time.
