Managing your online movie rental service has never been so simple! |
With Dashbuster we finally see a serious app for viewing, searching and updating the Netflix library and your Netflix cue. As a bonus it also works with Bockbuster's online service.
Dashbuster comes in two versions, a free version that comes with ads and a premium version that does not (although the premium version is not currently in the App Store). Dashbuster gives you complete control over your Netflix queue.
You can
-view your shipped, queued and saved movies with ease
-You can manage your queue by reording it through simple drag and drop
-If you want to remove a movie you simply use the good old iPhone swipe method of delete
The search function works well and provides a great deal of information. You can see review ratings, director, a description and the movie's "cover art".
In all, Dashbuster looks great. It is a complete and powerful app that also has a far more polished feel than the two Netflix apps previously reviewed. Unfortunately, while I did not run into an issues while using it, the number of caveats offered by the developer in the app's description clearly indicates that there have been some serious, on-going issues that many have run into with the app.
My biggest issue with this app is the exact opposite of the one I had with Instant Queue- this app only looks at physical movies and does not address the all-important instant queue movies and functionality of Netflix.
The paid version is not currently in the App Store but the free one can be found HERE.
Quick Take
Value: Medium
Would I Buy Again: No
Learning Curve: Low
Who is it for: Lovers of Netflix who "withdraw movies" but don't use the instant view feature
What I like: Nice interface
What I Don’t: As far as I can tell does not include instant view films. Based on the blurb it seems to have a lot of issues still.
Final Statement: Nyet
