Binge watching gets easier with latest Google Play Movies & TV update

Netflix has the lock on binge watching. Well, almost. One thing I think it is missing when casting from a device is the ability to know I am still watching because my phone is still moving. I am sure the developers could get that put into place at some point. The latest update to Google Play Movies & TV is bringing in some binge watching abilities in the latest update, version 3.9. Now as a show ends in the closing credits you will get the same sort of binge ability Netflix offers with a thumb nail of the next episode, a countdown timer and relevant info about it.

Of course binge watching your favorite series counts on you owning the next set of episodes. For those of you curious, yes, the app updated on Android TV as well to let you binge watch from you NVIDIA Shield or what have you.

Other updates for the app include support for Android Marshmallow, very important since Google is pushing out the update to Nexus devices. Users of Roku will find themselves with an easier setup method to get Play Movies & TV up and running and there are also the usual number of bug fixes and stability improvements.

Be sure to snag the latest update via the Play Store through the link below.
