It wasn’t long before PlayBook users took to the social networking site to announce they would cancel their Netflix subscriptions.

Netflix stood by its decision in another tweet on Friday, but with a softer tack.

It says it wants to be on every screen that’s relevant to its users, and that its plans may change in the future.

The Netflix app is currently available on various Apple and Android devices
