Update Netflix-app to current standards and HD
I know the Netflix app essentially was a pet project of John Carmack and it was really great on GearVR at the time.
Now it looks like a neglected child and need an upgrade to match the wonderful new hardware of the Quest 2.
Please talk to the concerned parties (Netflix?). And John, if you´re seeing this: Blow some magic coding dust its way. Please?
Wishlist by order of priority:
Update the streams to HD-material - 480p doesn´t look good. (never really did, but now it looks horrendous)
Update textures in the enviroment (gives us more enviroments?), Passthrough as background?
Ability to watch together with a friend or two.
Ability to download videos to the device.
Give some love to Void Theatre and let us choose backdrops, color schemes or even passthrough + some more control on curvature of the screen.
Maybe integrate it as an Oculus-TV-app?

Actually, it should be updated to support 4K, as the Quest 2 can support 4K. If you have a 4K account with Netflix you should be able to experience it in it's full glory in the Quest 2! Thanks Oculus, you guys are doing some amazing work with all the updates!!

Honestly, Netflix should be embarrassed to even publish such a ****** app. 480p? Really Netflix??? You have no shame?

Why even get an Oculus Quest 2 if I can't use it at its full resolution. Claiming Netflix support without this is a joke.

Truly unusable at the current resolution.
And I second the wish to watch with a remote friend, although I wouldn't be surprised if synchronization might be tricky and not built into their distribution infrastructure... -

Would be a fantastic option for watching Netflix. The poor current resolution makes it almost unwatchable.

Please upgrade the resolution to acceptable one. One that fit the Quest 2 resolution perfectly at least. It's disgustingly aweful to watch Netflix actually. So I don't use it. I use only PRIME in my Quest 2 because of that. Or Youtube. It's pretty sad cause I ordered the Oculus to watch TV by night at first. And of course, the no1 streaming service: Netflix (but the lowest quality in Oculus headsets).

Please update the Oculus app. You need more apps like this one for general purpose use of the Quest and leaving it to become outdated is not wise. Once everyone has tried the rollercoasters in VR and had a play around in a couple of games, these sorts of apps are what keep people coming back.
