Netflix mentioned final 12 months that it had no plans for a local app for the Apple Imaginative and prescient Professional — a disappointment for homeowners, given how well-suited it’s for the duty. Now, a brand new app referred to as Supercut brings Netflix streaming to Apple’s headset 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 couple of seconds — plus the power to modify between profiles on the fly. It even offers you a visible indicator telling you whether or not your video is outputting in a single or each of the Dolby codecs and what decision you’re streaming at.
In any other case, the app is fairly easy. There aren’t any immersive environments apart from the visionOS system-level ones, though Privitelli posted that he’s engaged on that for model 1.2 of the app. Apparently, will probably be just like the wonderful Cinema setting that, to this point, appears to be unique to the Apple TV Plus app.
Along with Netflix, there’s a primary implementation of Amazon Prime Video, which does exist on the headset as an iPad app however is letterboxed, like Netflix in a Safari window. There’s additionally an area for getting into a URL for one more service, reminiscent of YouTube.
Supercut is a $4.99 one-time cost in the meanwhile. I’ve solely spent a quick interval working by means of the options and watching a couple of minutes of video, however to this point, it looks as if a promising stand-in for Netflix on the Imaginative and prescient Professional. Now if you happen to’ll excuse me, I’ll be over right here sarcastically watching 3 Physique Drawback with my face laptop.
