When you hear about streaming services, chances are you are told Netflix is the best choice.

When you consider Netflix is also the most popular streaming service today, you may be wondering why. After all, with so many streaming services to choose from, why does Netflix still have the most loyalty and the most customers?

The cost — Netflix is the cheapest streaming service. Especially when you consider it has more movies and TV shows to watch than any other streaming service, and it also allows you to watch them for an unlimited amount of time.

 

Netflix allows concurrent viewing — Some streaming services only allow one person to watch one thing on one device.

 

Netflix Gratuit, however, allows up to four people to use the same subscription at the same time, and viewing to be done on up to four devices on the same account.

 

International availability — While streaming services like Hulu are U.S. based, Netflix can be watched anywhere.

 

This means you can watch your favorite shows on a business trip to India or on a holiday to Nigeria.

 

With a service like Hulu, however, it is not available outside most of the United States, so you have to wait to watch your favorite shows until you get back home.

 

The library of shows and movies — Netflix has the largest library of shows and movies in the world.

 

While it may not have some of your favorite TV shows, as they may be exclusives to services like Hulu, it probably has enough of them that you will be happy with what you can watch.

 

Netflix also adds hundreds of new shows and movies to its library every month, so there are always new things to watch.

 

Netflix exclusives — While some of the other streaming services like Amazon Prime and Hulu have their own exclusive movies and TV shows, Netflix tends to have more.

 

Netflix is also now in the business of making their own movies and TV shows, and some of these are exceptionally good.

 

Download your shows — Netflix is one of the few streaming services that also allows you to download your favorite movies and shows.

 

This means you can watch them anywhere where you have a weak or non-existent Internet connection. This includes on planes and trains, and in cars.

 

Netflix has an easy interface and an excellent app — Being able to easily use the streaming service you pay for is key, and Netflix is very good about that as well.

 

Their interface is easy to access and easy to use, as well as easy to find the shows you want to watch.

 

Their app is even better as it works on all tablets and phones, and loads quickly. It rarely crashes, and it allows you to download shows and movies to your tablet or phone in just a few minutes.

 

You can also create profiles, so you can separate the shows you are watching from those of other family members.
