When you say “access” to your collections, do you mean being able to edit them as well as see what’s in them, or just browsing?

Seeing them would be the main use, but interacting with them would also be great.

Say we're out to dinner and the partner says she'd like to watch Movie A2Z sometime soon, I could easily add it to the "Watch Soon" collection before I forget.

Or we're upstairs finishing up dinner and discussing what to watch tonight. Would be great to have access to the "Watch Soon" collection on my phone, since I don't keep other devices in the living room/dining room/kitchen area.

Perhaps we've just finished up watching a game in the theater and decide we want to watch a movie, but not sure what we want to watch. Would be great to just be able to pull up the wishlist on the K OSD and flip through things we've marked, maybe watch some trailers, so we can decide and buy right from there.

And while we're at it, would love for any new purchases to be added directly to the "Watch Soon" collection automatically. At least the option to configure this way. "New" is nice, but doesn't function the same as "Watch Soon" in that things just seem to expire instead of being removed after watching. And my "New" collection is a mess now anyway because it's adding new DOWNLOADS, not new purchases, and I just upgraded to a 48TB Terra and redownloaded a bunch of content that had been purchased long ago and deleted to clear space.

The differences and limitations between the app, the website, the browser interface, the OSD, and the Second Screen app create a very disjointed experience.

They are definitely not supposed to just expire. They should stay in New until they've been viewed.

Yeah, that is definitely not ideal. I think we may change that but I'm not sure what the current status of that is.

Totally fair.

Thank you for the response, and please keep any other Second Screen-related feedback coming!
 
I have returned my ipad as I am not comfortable to handle that much big screen. May be mini is better. I will wait for split screen, gestures enhancements. I also like it to select not only just script but specific scene in the script and play it in the future updates.

I wish this app available on android tablets. I like the way it shows movies based on action etc as well as ratings by pg13, pg etc. Is there anyway I can access this kind of listing other than screen screen app?
