Netflix has launched a new revamp of its television app, aimed at helping viewers quickly find what they want to watch. The changes include enlarging title cards, reorganizing information, and highlighting easy-to-read tidbits about each title. Netflix hopes that increasing user engagement with the app will help retain customers and attract new subscribers. The redesign also moves the menu button and adds a new "My Netflix" tab for easy access to shows and movies that users have started watching or saved for later. Some users will see the new format starting this week, with potential changes based on feedback before a wider release.
