The interface will look familiar to owners of Android tablets, including the Kindle Fire or Nook Tablet, because Netflix rolled out updates to that platform last month.
The goal of the new iPad app -- and the overall tablet design changes -- are to make discovering and swiping through content less clunky and cluttered.
Netflix started streamlining its user interface standards in December 2010. Since then, the company has taken pains to try to keep the experience optimized for device types, while still making it easy to update from the software side.
Netflix has also updated the iOS and Apple TV apps to support unlimited TV and movies streams for customers in Latin America. On the Apple TV front, Netflix has added its "Just for Kids" section -- originally introduced to the Wii console -- to Apple's streaming set-top box.
