The Netflix app won’t start – How to solve the problem

In the following, we have summarised possible causes and tips which work on both iOS and Android devices.

• Try to shut down your device completely. Once this is done, turn the unit back on. Once it has booted up, try opening the Netflix app again.

• Sometimes the problem is that the app needs an update. Download this and try again.

• If the app has already been updated, delete the app and download it again. However, saved tracks will be lost.

• Before you delete it, you can also reset the app.

• The app may be restricted on your device. In the general settings, you can change these using the “Restrictions” button.

• Occasionally the cause is also your W-LAN router. Try restarting your home network.

• Your internet service provider will most likely be able to help you solve the problem. Contact them and ask about possible solutions.

• It’s quite possible that the error is coming from the Netflix server. If our tips do not help, it is worth contacting customer service.
