Motorola entered the Lenovo Tech world 2016 to unleash the brand new Moto Z. Actually, Moto Z is just another super smartphone that replaces the Moto X and launched as the flagship moto device. So far we have seen a lot of smartphones being launched in this year and now Moto Z. So Will this Moto Z can compete with other devices. Let us compare it with the LG’s own modular phone LG G5.

The Moto Z gets fatter when the Moto Mods are attached, however. Motorola's new LG G5-style accessory system arrives in the form of magnetic 'backpack' attachments that connect to the 16 pogo pins on the back of the smartphone.

Moto Z offers 5.5-inch screen with 2560 x 1440-pixel resolution with a metal body design using aluminium and stainless steel which has a dimension of 153.3 x 75.3 x 5.19 mm which weighs around 136 grams. This has a super slim look.

Moto Z is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset with 4GB RAM. The internal memory of Moto Z 32/64 GB and is expandable up to 256GB.

The device comes with a fingerprint sensor on the front (nothing new since all the devices even in the low range have started to add this feature). A rear camera of 13-megapixel from the Moto maker, for plenty of design options. A front camera of 5-megapixel.

One notable thing is that it doesn’t have a 3.5mm headphone socket, instead it uses USB Type-C instead with an adapter in the box.

It has Moto Z projector module that snaps the phone content of upto 70 inches and are officially called as Moto Insta-Share Projector.

It has a Non- removable battery capacity of 2600 mAh which is quite small comparably.

It is available in Black/Gray, Black/Rose Gold, Black/Gold, White colours.

Coming to LG G5, this offers 5.3 inches at 554 ppi [1440 x 2560 pixels] and has a painted metal body which has a dimension of 149.4 x 73.9 x 7.7 mm and weighs around 159 grams, which is slightly fatter and heavier than Moto Z.

LG G5 also has Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chip with 4 GB RAM and 32 GB Internal storage with expandable upto 256 GB microSD card support. It uses USB Type-Cfor charging and accessories.

This device has fingerprint sensor at the back with removable battery. LG G5 has 16-megapixel rear camera and 8-megapixel front camera with 135-degree wide angle sensor (this gives an edge over other smartphones).

The battery capacity is slightly higher than Moto Z of 2800 mAh.

LG G5 is available in Silver, Titan, Gold and Pink colours.

Moto Z is a real challenger with a name of being the world’s thinnest smartphone. This has same basic features as the LG G5 like the internal specifications of processor, GPU, USB Type-C connectivity etc. The powerful speaker, mini projector takes the advantage over other phones.

Compared with LG G5, overall design of Moto Z is more practical and that gives it more advantage over G5 in terms of usability.

Anything to share about these models, please do leave you opinions in comment section below comment.

For the past 6 months we all have heard the name DONALD TRUMP at least a few times , whether it be through our friends in the news or on our facebook wall this name is everywhere but sometimes its hard to understand who exactly is this man and what significance he holds.  this article will help you answer these questions.

So the first question is who is Donald trump …..well he is a American business magnate who is running  for the post of the president of the united states on a republican  party ticket . the American democracy has always been a bi party democracy and so his opponent in the general election will be Hillary Clinton of the democratic party who happens to be the wife of former president of the united states Bill Clinton.

Now the reason that Donald trump has been in the news so much is due to a couple of reasons .First of all he is NOT a politician, he has never held any public office and has never contested any election whatsoever. In his own words he is not a well seasoned politician and in the past has expressed his distrust and dislike of the political class. And that has been part of his charm as the people are so fed up of the political class that they now believe that only  Washington outsider can fix their broken system.

Second and the most important reason he is in the news so much is his views. Long story short his views come across as racist,sexist,homophobic and xenophobic. From the day he announced he was running for president he has been one of the most polarizing public figure in the world . He says that Mexicans that cross the border to come into the country are rapists and drug dealers and he plans to build a wall around America and the cost of the wall will be borne by Mexico, a idea many have called ridiculous and absurd. He has called women he doesn’t like pigs, dogs and many unflattering things and he believes that the LGBTQ community do not deserve the rights the same rights as everyone else.he says that global warming isn’t real and it’s a hoax invented by the Chinese.   His views are so disparaging that the UK parliament has passed a resolution which bans Donald’s entry into their country.

Now the question arises why is he being liked so much in his country. The simple answer is that he is a former reality tv star and he knows what people respond to. He throws all kinds of gimmicks and tantrums that excite and awe his potential voters. He calls his opponents names like “crooked Hillary” or “lying ted” ,he  encourages his supporters to punch people who do not like him. Perhaps the  most awe inspiring moment was when he went  in front 300 million Americans and referring to his penis size said that there is “no problem down there” when someone implied that because his hands are small  something else must be small. The Donald has been caught many a times with his foot in his mouth .

It’s a long road to the general election in November of this year but rest assured the world will continue to be horrified and amused by his views.

Facebook has become so much a part of our life now. I have few statistics about Facebook users. Worldwide, there are over 1.65 billion monthly active Facebook users (MAUs) which is a 15 percent increase year over year. There are 1.51 billion mobile active users (MAU) for March 2016. (Source: Facebook as of 4/27/16)

Are You Facebook Addict

• Five new profiles are created every second. (Source: ALLFacebook 2012)
• There are 83 million fake profiles
• Photo uploads total 300 million per day. (Source: Gizmodo)
• Every 60 seconds on Facebook: 510 comments are posted, 293,000 statuses are updated, and 136,000 photos are uploaded. (Source: The Social Skinny)
• 50% of 18-24 year-olds go on Facebook when they wake up. (Source: The Social Skinny)

One can easily throw a stone and hit a Facebook user. All these stats have proved that we have been spending a considerable amount of time in Facebook. You may feel, what’s wrong if you use Facebook frequently as a means of entertainment. There is nothing wrong unless otherwise these Facebook activities starts interfering with your daily life and becomes detrimental to your daily functional activities. It has even got an unofficial condition worldwide called as Facebook Addiction Disorder (FAD).But Are you a Facebook addict?

With the advent of technologies, it has now become accessible more than ever. This simply supplements your addiction to Facebook and brings everything to your fingertips. Use of Facebook as a means of communication and connectivity with the ones you care about is good. But it shouldn’t lead to the point where your offline social life gets replaced by social life on Facebook.

People are over obsessed with Facebook fame like waiting eagerly and thinking a lot about the responses after updating a status or profile picture in the Facebook page.

Apart from Fame, people are also busy in Facebook messaging, sharing photos, commenting and liking other posts just for a better appeal on Facebook. All you do is just pretend to be something you are not in real life when you compromise your real world happening.

If you are thinking a lot over your updates, just beware it is a sign of being an addict.

Facebook Addiction : Quick Stats

Sharing their location (which is a major drawback with the proliferation of smartphones) this intriguing thing is keeping the users’ privacy at stick, even though they know it.

In a Psychological point of view, Lot of activities that we do in Facebook portrays that we are trying to influence the way people see us, to get people to like us.

The use of Facebook has increased rapidly. It occurs more regularly among younger than older users. Also studies have proved that people who are anxious and socially insecure use Facebook and other social medias more those with lower score on those traits. It is probably because who are anxious find it easier to communicate through these social media than face-to-face.

Checking Facebook status often whenever possible, over sharing of photos, overly concerned with Facebook image, spending hours and hours in browsing through Facebook every day, mad about increasing your friends list, compromising real social life, loads of games  addiction are all signs of Facebook addiction.

But it’s not a big deal to avoid these things, like use Facebook whenever necessary and make it purposeful. Put FB away for a while, go out and experience the world. Some may still look into Facebook through their smartphones when they are out. Just look out.. We have a beautiful world waiting for us. Enjoy it. You will realize how much more wonderful the world is than to stare at your Facebook wall all day. That’s when change can begin. Make sure Facebook isn’t the first thing or the last thing of your day.

Never let technology to rule you. Let you be the one to rule the world with technology.

Everytime we walk out the door, the phone is just as essential to search for as the door key, car keys, wallet or handbag. And with no surprise the market is huge with billions of smartphones sold today. What happens when the market reaches a saturation point? That is why there is always new and upgraded models released every now and then. But that couldn’t be much profitable to the manufacturer's. 

We need the device as critical as our food but we won’t be buying it every day. So to encourage sales, smartphone manufacturers have shown exploding interest in virtual Reality. Usually VR headsets offer low cost entry point to VR entertainment which we get in PCs as 360 virtual videos or gaming experience. Smartphone manufacturers like Samsung and LG have taken steps to bring VR headsets in the early 2016. 

But when it comes to Smartphones, will this virtual reality will really work out and will it decide the future of smartphone? Few years back Virtual Reality was something impossible. But now it has become impossibly easy with smartphones. Just by holding a cardboard box against your head in a way that positions a smartphone two inches from your eyes will literally take you anywhere in the world. Like you will be standing in a cable car climbing over onomichi, japan but you won’t feel the cold That is virtual reality. 

Virtual reality presents an artificial, but seemingly real 3D world through headset that can track a person’s head movements It is surprising that your smartphone can take you anywhere. Right now the cardboard is just okay to have, coz for few minutes it is great, but it causes discomfort after sometime. Current smartphone hardware doesn’t support virtual world as close enough with the head movements as you look around. People are working towards all the defects. 

So everyone of us own a smartphone and one way or other we are going to upgrade to a latest version and sooner or later we will get to experience the VR. In the long run, virtual reality is a huge potential market and it have wide range of uses beyond just gaming. Smartphone will be the driving force for VR. This may change the nature of how we use our smartphones. Both Virtual reality and Smartphone are going to be complementary in future. The limitations are curbed by imagination and available technology which is advancing rapidly year by year.

Society has transitioned into a post -PC era. Most people are using mobile platform to perform various everyday task instead of a computer or a laptop. This year it's estimated that thirty are about 2 billion active mobile user on the phone. There phones are capable of doing various jobs like mobile banking , social media and also an unforgettable game like candy crush.

In addition to the host of many productive apps, these platforms have become great for gaming. 

Their is a a lot of hype that which mobile platform OS the best. All of geeks are arguing which is the best of all. It's no secret that Apple started the mobile smartphone movement and truly opened the gate for a full migration from our PCs. In three recent years Android has  showed is capabilities, the Android OS had really com into its own and took the world by storm.In fact, the current estimate report that the Android OS commands approximately 70% market share in the mobile OS arena. 

Each of the major mobile platform is evaluated from both side, as a user and a development point of view. As important as the user experience has become, any mobile OS is only as good as the developer makes it for the user. 

Platforms have their strengths and weaknesses. Depending on what you're already using and what you want to get out of your computing experience, any one of these three choices may be the superior option. Understanding your own goals and each platform will deliver the most positive experience possible. Failing to understand this will lead to disappointment. Fortunately, I'm here to try and help you make sense of the options available.

Apple has truly innovated the mobile OS when it introduced the first smartphone OS in 2007. Since that time the world has literally transformed into a post -PC era society expecting to live to live at the speed of information.

iOS was the one which offered users downloadable application  2010, once again turned the table by the introduction of iPad. a device that experienced success in each year till now. But now it's upset line is being competed by the another companies like Microsoft with its surface tablet line up.  

Android

I believe that the not only Android the most popular smartphone OS but it is also positioned to be the dominant tablet and hybrid OS but the end of 2015 it's no wonder that Android (in some ways) is called the windows of the mobile platform. With multiple companies manufacturing there device powered but Android. After all Android give more flexibility to the user that iOS can match any time soon.

Android is the middle ground. With many of the features (and liabilities) of a true mobile OS, Google has tried to walk a line in offering the same kind of intuitive, light-weight mobile experience as iOS but with the power and flexibility of a traditional Windows desktop OS. They've done a pretty good job at this, which is reflected in the popularity of this platform.

However, the process has not been without compromise. In making a more flexible and powerful platform that supports more devices.While that may sound good to a lot of potential users, it means that Android is not as stable, predictable, or well designed as iOS. Things are just a little

less polished.

At the same time, for true power users, Android falls just short of being able to deliver a completely satisfying experience. I've been using Android daily for several years. I can leave the PC notebook at home for trips and travel, but I've had to adjust and learn "work-around" methods that include saving the heavy lifting for a real PC. For some users, this is good enough. If you want a little more power on the road but are still okay with needing a PC to finish things up when you return, Android may be a good solution for you.

After such a great success in recent years they saw the face of loss, this year Apple have declined in the profit but in India they grew 56%. But there Android never was behind apple in any way, if we compare each company differently, the companies were always behind apple in the revenues but Samsung was the one who wore the crown of selling the most number of moving phone in 2015.

Frontline commando: D- Day is one of the most successfully launched 3D Freemium action game from Glu Mobile available in Android and iOS. This D- Day is the follow-up of 2011’s Frontline Commando. This is follows the World War II theme shooters, but this is way different from the numerous contemporaries.

This D-Day is a third- person point to point shooter game throughout the Normandy countryside. This game features almost 145 missions with three set of goals for the players to accomplish. Each mission is rewarded with cash and other freebies sometimes; this cash is used to purchase new weapons. Also every time when the level goes up the player gets gold. This gold can be used to buy a small set of premium weapons.

Frontline commando is completely free with usual in-app purchase (to purchase the gold and war cash which is not necessary). Even without using these in-app purchases we can still enjoy the game to the fullest.

And the best part of Frontline Commando: D- Day is its Gameplay, this part is going to be very simple and more similar to other shooting games like you have to take cover, pop your head up to fire a few rounds, crouch down to avoid bullets and chuck some grenades but the best part is the graphics and the touchscreen control in this game is extremely good, with wonderfully striking off the soldiers with headshots. At times you need to take cover, when you need to move around, you’ll need to roll to your left or to your right, which gives you a better angle to knock your enemies off. 

Each mission includes three bonus objectives for you to complete, like one will be scoring from headshots, other will be completing the mission within 2 minutes, and the last will be completing the mission successfully.

The game varies itself nicely by offering different ways to take a break from shooting like you’ll get a chance to fight off tanks, hop in an anti-aircraft gun to knock down the enemy planes, jump into a mounted gun and roll off the full battlefield with ammos. At times you’ll feel the missions and levels are repeatedly same but somehow it is going to be fun.

This Free D- Day game also does put a strict limit on the weapons you can use and makes it difficult to purchase 3 stars in most of the later levels. If you are to earn 3 levels, then you need to own a super weapons and explosives which can only be purchased with that in-app purchase things called the gold and war cash. But I have been playing this game for few hours every day and I only managed to save a total of 35 golds. But an average rifle cost 120 gold in the game store and merely 2 bazooka shots will eat of 10 gold from you. 

Luckily, you will be able to take those tanks with grenades too but with a higher number, say if one bazooka takes off a tank then you need to have 4 shots for grenade. You can earn these grenades by playing the previous completed missions again to scoop up more grenades.

Finally, as a conclusion I would like to say that, I don’t know much about World War II, but this game D-Day made me feel like I was one among the battalion on the frontlines of Normandy. This gave me a perfect experience and whoever is looking for a more hardcore experience on the field on a handheld device, then this is going to be a treat for them. 

The game is really worth playing for its free price tag and make sure you keep your wallet at a secure place before you get into the game. It is going to be damn addictive. Be prepared for the war.

Want to learn a language, merely at free of cost ? 

Then comeon, 

Duolingo is a free App specially designed for languages. 

If you guys are passionate about learning a language. Spent lot of bucks but finding it difficult to pick up or bored with the same repetitive Apps showing same words or phrases. 

Then here is a meaningful app very precisely designed for learning languages atmost easily at free of cost. Already people have started using it, see it crossed 50,000,000 + downloads. But its size and android version requirement varies depending on the device

It can be downloaded as an app in ios or in android or in windows - you can even use it online through the login.

This is how the Webpage looks like and these are the varied languages offered by duolingo with number of learners for specific language.

It is one of the best software because all the language learning software will provide you with specific set of words or list of sentences that you could practice. But Duolingo does it differently, it provides us with variety of features

1. Flexibility to learn : pick a daily goal – which asks you about how much time you are going to spend to learn today. You can change this daily

2. Huge collection : It offers 11 completed language courses for English speakers, 2 beta languages, and 8 languages still “hatching” in their incubator form. It also has languages for Non English speakers like the app is designed to work in Portuguese language, Czech language etc.. These users can learn other language through their native language.

3. You choose the language, You choose your daily goal / weekly goal. For which it provides further more flexibility by starting from very basics or you can start from where you lag by taking up the placement test.

4. Duolingo has a beautiful interface. This app dictates every word to make us familiar with the pronunciation of the word or the phrase. It has a turtle icon which has a creepy slow voice to make us understand very easily.

5. Almost Everything in Duolingo is Visual. Just reading a word doesn’t get into our mind so easily, it takes time, a lot of time. But when you see the visual of the word it goes easily into your mind. For example

. You can review your lessons any number of times but the lesson moves to next only after you complete it to make sure that you learn the basics and move through.

If you think Learning through Duolingo will master you in a specific language, then you are wrong. You must also develop the habit to read, talk to a friend and do a lot more to become fluent.

Duolingo acts just like a tool in your learning process and it helps in initiating your learning process. So “Don’t Rely on Duolingo alone”. It is a wonderful app and to get the fullest advantage speak fluently with the help of Duolingo.

Got a new smartphone. Worried of what type of apps to install first (obviously no one need to tell us to install the Facebook, twitter, Instagram kind of apps which we automatically do). The number of available apps in the Google Play Store is almost around 2 million apps in February 2016. So it is really confusing to get the best out of that 2 million apps.

It probably will not change the performance of the phone but still it will give you a better interface with your phone and make it more enjoyable. These are going to be free so you can give it a try with no doubt.

Drupe’s Tagline “Contacts made easy”. It goes well with the tagline like it helps the users to access their contacts easily. See, for the past few years with the advent of technology communication have become so easier, right from chatting to playing everywhere you communicate with other humans. But the real complication started is when you have to switch between apps to communicate to different friends like few use WhatsApp, few Viber etc. 

The developers of this app got an alternative to this complication of switching between apps. Drupe, this helps you get rid of all contacts and apps mess with one simple gesture. All you have to do is just look for the drape dot to communicate (call, email, calendar invite, WhatsApp) to any of your contacts. Everything is just a swipe away. It works well with groups also by bringing all your contacts and communicating apps together in one place which is accessible from all your screens. So why to wait, just swipe the contact to the right app and get in touch! Simple. Time for a change get drupe today.

In recent days, Ad blocking extensions have gained a lot of attraction among the internet users especially among the online gamers. Now it is getting its heat in the smartphones too. Few apps like Purify and Crystal has also gained popularity among the users. Ad blocking has both practical and ethical considerations. But the real question is should you really use ad block? 

If using such blockers is an issue or is it really beneficial? To answer these questions let us take a closer look at what Ad blockers really do, what they mean to you and for the company….

Ad blocking or ad filtering is removing or altering advertising content in a webpage / app. Advertising can exist in a variety of forms including pictures, animations, embedded audio/video, text, pop-up windows and can employ auto-play of audio and video. These software or extensions help us avoid the unwanted ads that appear on the screen of a webpage or an app.

#1 Adblock being the number 1 ad blocker in the market does block all the advertisements on all web pages like Facebook, YouTube and every website. This works on all browsers like Google Chrome, Safari, Mozilla Firefox, and Opera which is downloaded as an extensions. 

So it automatically starts working as soon as the browser is opened. When needed it can be turned off on a specific page manually. So far, Ad block has crossed 200 million downloads and there are lot more similar software available on the internet and they are also on the peak downloads.

All the websites you are viewing are primarily funded / sourced by those advertisers. A lot of Internet businesses that we use and rely on every day, use a so-called freemium model. You pay nothing for an app, but in turn, you're giving your data and/or your eyeballs to advertisers.  And investors at internet companies say advertising is their huge market.

So when we block the ads completely, we block the main source of revenue for companies.

But on the contrary, practical considerations for the users !!!

We see ads on every page, mini ad, micro ad and more. Some might be useful like so many webpages use data analytics to track our search and show us ads related to our search. But this is just happens in 1 out of 10. Most of the time ads are very annoying and offensive too, at this time ad blockers play a major role. Not only can you use them to block offensive material, Rickrolls, and other unpleasant things, studies have also proved that they can also block malicious software. 

People are in a situation to block the ads to get rid of those tricky malicious. It is in the company’s hands to choose what type of ads to be published in their sites so as to ensure their growth as well as the people’s satisfaction. 

A recent global research on ad blocking conducted in the year 2015, reveals the following facts

Ads on the web can be all kinds of annoying, but some people prefer not to block every internet ad they see, after all, it is how most web make their money, and are able to keep pumping out content for free. Even if you don't block ads, though, it may be worthwhile to install an ad blocker (like Adblock Plus for Firefox), if only for its malware-blocking powers.

To have a WIN – WIN situation, web page must be designed in such a way the ads are useful and they must ensure that they are not compelling and annoying.

Have you installed ad-block, how much time and data it have saved for you.. do tell us in comment section below.

The programmers expect the new version to be of improved stability and good visual experience.They have fixed several bugs of this previous versions.They reduced the game size to make the app more common among the common public.It has test series  with additions such as lunch and tea breaks. Majority of cricket gaming apps don't provide test matches so this makes real Cricket'16 more special and unique.

NETFLIX is one such successful company that used this opportunity at the right time and are now serving almost 65 million subscribers across sixty countries.

NETFLIX is an online entertainment  provider, it streams movies and TV series like Daredevil, House of Cards and Beast of no Nation. It also provides a great deal of features for every smart devices either it is TV or phone or gaming consoles or Blu-Ray players or whatever it maybe.

If you are planning to quit the cable or satellite TV to save money then Netflix will be a best companion to you. Because this comes at an affordable price that is to be paid monthly based on our preference.

You can watch a video in your computer/ in a smartphone, then pause it, again you can continue from the same exact place where you left off by logging back in the big screen TV.

Initially, it asks the customers to signup, as soon as the initial login have been completed it asks a set of questionnaire about what type of movies and TV shows they like. This questionnaire helps Netflix to suggest the subscribers with list of recommended shows immediately.

If you don’t like the recommendations then you can have an open ended search to customize your favourites from the streaming library.

It also has Multiple Viewer profiles feature to personalise even more, say you like action movies, your wife like TV series, your kids like cartoon series etc.. then you can use this multiple viewer profile option in a single subscribed account.

Netflix’s recommendation algorithm will regularly update your recommendations based on your watchlist.

The subscribers can connect to any number of smart devices with one subscription. The non-subscribers can also use the service by using the login of the subscribers.

Netflix, like Amazon, is investing to a lot in its TV shows and has also recently started making the move into movies too, with Beasts of No Nation.

It has also struck a major deal with Marvel to create its TV version of the Marvel Universe - making discrete shows like Daredevil and Jessica Jones, as well as the upcoming Iron Fist and Luke Cage, before they combine in The Defenders ensemble.

Disney has also been courted by Netflix, striking a deal which means all the new Star Wars films (bar The Force Awakens) will stream globally on Netflix first.

The app works best with a reliable Wi-Fi signal, but it can also stream over a 4G LTE connection. The streaming itself is fairly well optimized. The list of available movies and shows in the Instant catalog has some limitations, however. It's missing award winners and new releases (and especially new TV releases) in particular, though it's still quite extensive. And it's backed up by Netflix's growing library of great original shows. Hulu and Amazon Instant Video may have their individual strengths, but Netflix is still better than these services.

To use the app, all you need to do is download it from the Google Play store and enter your Netflix account username and password. That's far easier than installing Amazon Instant. The navigation bar will be slightly different depending on which Android device you're using and how big its screen is. The main menu lists titles you might be interested in watching, based on their similarity to other titles you've rated highly or genres that you've indicated you like (which you can adjust or add through the Netflix website). It also displays content you're already in the middle of watching. The Genres button lets you browse available titles by genre. 

For the Instant catalog at present, browsing by genre is one of the best ways to find new films and television series to watch. The Search button brings up a basic search bar where you can now search by title, actor, director, and other criteria. The final tab lets you access Settings, About, and Sign Out.

You can easily navigate the video offerings by swiping through the poster art from right to left. This streamlined, touch-friendly interface works so well that Netflix now uses it for the Web version, too.

In the past, the Netflix app let you manage both your Instant Queue (now known as My List) and DVD Queue, but Netflix stripped out the disc list a few upgrades ago as the company continues to emphasize its streaming service. Fortunately, streaming works great on Android devices. We had crisp pictures, clear sound, and no stuttering when a reliable Wi-Fi signal is near in our testing. Like in the Web version, closed captioning is available, and once you finish an episode of a TV show the app automatically starts playing the next episode. 

Netflix also lets you rate movies on a one to five scale. Netflix saves these ratings and uses them to make recommendations for other movies and television shows to watch.

The biggest complaint about Netflix, and it's a valid one, is that a lot of movies and shows most people would like to watch just aren't in the Instant bank. And it's not just new releases. Almost all the Academy Award Best Picture winners are absent from the list, too, from Ben-Hur (1960) to Gandhi (1983). Netflix doesn't deserve the blame here; the movie studios do. If anything, Netflix has a history of being slightly ahead of the curve, offering media streaming several critical months before the masses were ready to adopt it, in effect buying enough time to fine tune the service before it became widespread.  

Netflix's catalog of content also changes all the time. Shows that are available one day may be gone the next. A movie might be available by disc only, until it unexpectedly appears as a featured new film in your streaming view. It's difficult to state authoritatively what is and is not in Netflix's catalog at any given moment.

While its movie library is strong, Netflix lacks many high-profile TV shows. For example, popular program Empire isn't available in any capacity (streaming or disc), but you can find the show free-to-watch on Hulu. That streaming service (along with Amazon if you're willing to pay) gets shows soon after they air whereas Netflix is typically an entire year behind, except with its own shows of course. Hulu also has a stronger TV library with shows from Japan and the U.K. Netflix and Hulu are more complementary than competitive products.

 If you want current TV, Hulu is the place to go. If you want ad-free, mainstream movies, Netflix is the app to pick (although Hulu has some great film-buff offerings). And if what you're looking for isn't on either service, you can probably purchase it on iTunes, Google Play, Xbox Video, or Amazon Instant Video.

Netflix Despite what's missing from the Netflix Instant catalog, the app itself leaves little to complain about. The streaming is great. The app is simple. Every movie entry contains quick information about it, such as the year it was released, MPAA rating (G, PG, PG-13, etc.), running time, and either the average star rating from other Netflix users or your personal star rating if you've entered one. And after we spent years pining for this feature, you can now link your Netflix and Facebook accounts to share your activity. 

This social component definitely trumps Netflix's infamous recommendation engine. But, while we appreciate that this system has an opt-in policy, many people probably want to keep their viewing habits private, Netflix could do a better job letting users know the feature exists at all.

What Netflix also offers that its competitors can't match is a growing library of original programming that has quickly become a pop culture phenomenon in its own right. Shows like House of Cards, Orange is the New Black, the Arrested Development revival, and Marvel's Daredevil have been celebrated in terms typically reserved for HBO shows.

Netflix also produces comedy specials and documentaries, if you're looking for something more self-contained. Being able to join the conversation surrounding this content, especially in the binge-watching media landscape Netflix has helped foster, makes a Netflix subscription even more tempting. Hulu may have a stronger overall television lineup, but right now Netflix's exclusives are untouchable, and rivals like Amazon and Hulu are scrambling to keep up with their own TV productions.

Netflix has one major benefit is that it does not have any online advertising. Episodes starts playing as soon as they start buffering without any interruption. If you have problem Netflix offers various means to contact them and every single minute issues is answered by them. 

And the subscription for basic, standard, premium doesn’t matter if your bandwidth is low, it will just deliver standard version of the video and all the videos in the library is of HD. Though they don’t host any current seasons its features and exclusive high quality content are worth the money.

It is rated 4.5/5 in the google play store. Download it from here :
