The latest version gives you the power to save any flick or TV show episode you want to watch offline at a later time -- the same feature Google added to the app for Chromebooks a few months ago.
Hopefully, everything you download (over WiFi only, as always) gets you through a rough trip or a particularly bad day for streaming. The update should hit your iPhones and iPads soon, but those who don't have the app yet can download it from iTunes.
