Netflix is an app that can be downloaded to devices to access your account. The Netflix account itself is accessible through the app on any device you use to access the Internet. Whether it's your phone, tablet, or game console, the app gives you the ability to watch movies and download programs for later. Older devices may have a difficult time downloading these apps, so remember to update your equipment or systems to have reliable access to your Netflix programs. You may have to reload the Netflix app occasionally to ensure your system has the latest version of the app.
