One of many frustrations with the Imaginative and prescient Professional (although no fault of Apple’s) is that, although it’s a improbable leisure viewing system (nicely, for solo viewing), Netflix received’t take part within the celebration.
The streaming large not solely hasn’t launched a Imaginative and prescient Professional app, however does even permit the spatial laptop to run the iPad model of its app. Dangerous Netflix!
Nevertheless, there’s a brand new, and really efficient, resolution: Supercut, an US$4.99 app obtainable on the Apple App Retailer that helps Netflix viewing on the Imaginative and prescient Professional — and with out letterboxing bars on the highest and backside of the video. It additionally helps 4K streaming with Dolby Atmos and Dolby Imaginative and prescient.
Made by developer Christian Privitelli, Supercut gives playback controls — together with subtitles, audio output, playback pace, and the power to skip forward or again a number of seconds — plus the power to change between profiles (extra on that in a sec) on-the-fly. There’s even a visible indicator to let you realize whether or not your video is outputting in a single or each of the Dolby codecs and at what decision it’s streaming.
Making issues even sweeter, Supercut additionally allows you to view Amazon Prime Video. Amazon hasn’t launched a Prime Video app for the Imaginative and prescient Professional, however not less than permits spatial laptop assist for its streaming service through the iPad app.
Nevertheless, content material is letterboxed. Supercut alleviates the issue. What’s extra, Christian Privitelli’s app occasion has an area for coming into a URL for an additional service, comparable to YouTube.
If, like me, you wish to get pleasure from Netflix and Prime Video content material on the huge digital display screen of the Imaginative and prescient Professional, Supercut is a must have app.
