I travel a lot and often watch movies on the plane. If Netflix actually removes the download feature, it will be a big problem 😔 I hope they change their mind!

The download feature is what I pay money for! If they remove it, I will definitely unsubscribe from the service. 💰 There are many other options for viewing content.

Have you considered just switching to another service like Amazon Prime or Hulu? 🤔 There is also an opportunity to download content. Don't be tied to one application!
