You can download selected movies and films on the Netflix app on download-capable devices. To be honest, the offline viewing feature is so cool because it allows you to download and store a bunch of Netflix videos for a long trip. To kill time on the long flight or train, you need 5-6 episodes which would require 5GB at least of free space for HD.

So what if you do not have any storage space left on your Android? To save the storage of your mobile phone or tablet, you can set it to save Netflix downloads to your microSD card.
