Review - iFlix streaming service


I was reluctant to subscribe to any streaming service but since it was offered free, I decided to try it out. This is my impression of the service.

Selection

IFlix provides a combination of Korean and English movies and television series. There is a collection of Marvel movies, of which Guardians of the Galaxy is the latest. Series includes shows from TLC, ABC, Nickelodeon, and ABC. The Korean selections are from O!k and tvN. There are also some Malay movies and Malay series as well as Malaysian Football.

I found some great Korean movies and series which I would not have found without this service.

Only one of two series are up to date - The Flash and Britannia.

The variety is enough to keep me occupied.

Download

Download for offline viewing is only available for series. Downloads are disabled for movies. Downloads expire after seven days.

When downloading, we are prompted for the resolution to download, so that we know how much storage will be consumed by the download.

Mobile Data protection

The application triggers a warning if it detects that streaming is on mobile data, we then have the option to proceed or not. The same goes when it comes to downloading.

Tracking viewing progress

Viewing progress is tracked across devices but it is not always accurate.

Price

Various providers such as Maxis, Telekoms and Digi provides free subscription. Initially, it was six months for Unifi but it was extended to one year. It is only RM 8 per month if you pay a one year subscription.

Summary

Given the price and flexibility, I think this is a great service especially for those that are not so technology savvy. I started the subscription for my dad so that he is able to easily watch movies and t.v. series; especially by casting the show to the television equipped with Chromecast.
