I have been using Vudu since last year and I have noticed a few things that could be done to improve the product. I am not sure if it is the same across all platforms that have Vudu on it, but I know on my Blu-ray player, there are a few things that can be done to the program that I think would be good features to have in it.
These like I said, these are some suggestions that I have, just to help make the system less obtrusive than it already is. Some of the systems I am talking about are some that probably should have been built in since the first release or soon after. I know in the web development I do, I find the public wants functionality & ease of use to be the #1 priority, the #2 is making the system as unobtrusive as you can while maintaining the functionality that is wanted in the system.
And again, I don't know if this is on all platforms, but the software I have on my Blu-ray player really could use these changes.
- Have a way to organize the movies that are on your account. I have some movies I like to organize with each other like the hobbit movies, and so on. I know when i am developing web scripts, I like to keep things organized for quicker use, and having a way to organize the area of "my Movies" would be great, especially when my collection is growing.
- Free featurette and other free stuff you only want to watch once, have a way for people to remove them from their movie list. It is annoying to see something that I just wanted to watch once and was free, now stuck with it in my movie list.
- This one I can't believe is not already in there, but why is it there is ONLY a resume play button. If you stop a movie at the start of credits, and lets say a month later you want to watch it again, there is only a resume button and not a play from beginning button. To go back to the beginning, once the movie starts, you have to go into the scene selection and choose the first scene. It gets pretty annoying real fast.
- Optimize the system a little more. I have noticed if I watch like 3 movies in a row, the program starts to lag out and the movies don't popup fast or loading time slows down allot. I have not had an issue with Netflix or Hulu on this, only Vudu.
