Netflix updated their app to 1.3 today for iOS and it adds the ability to add subtitles and captioning to any some movies you watch. This is a major update as sometimes, it’s hard to hear the audio in movies on the iPhone or iPad if you don’t have headphones handy and adding the subtitles and captioning allows you to watch video while still understanding what is going on without the audio. It’s a very handy new feature. Get the update now.

What’s New in Version 1.3

Introducing Subtitles! Now you can follow the action when watching foreign language content, or when listening to the audio is not possible, such as when working out, or in loud environments.

Full support for iOS 4.3.3 and 4.2.8 (Verizon).
