Netflix was reluctant to add offline download support to their mobile application. This changed back in 2016, though, when the developers finally added the feature to their Android and iOS devices worldwide. You'll see this feature in the application for select movies and TV shows but, many felt that it could be improved. The team at Netflix agreed and today they are rolling out the Smart Downloads feature that makes it easier to watch the next episode of a supported TV show even if you are offline.
