Has anyone succeded to use last NetFlix (Android app) on Sailfish to download and watch offline ?

I've tried on Jolla 1, Jolla C and Jolla Tablet with Sailfish 2.0.5.6, but with no success (there is no download icon visible).

I suspect it needs GApps.

PS: as mentioned below, NetFlix help shows that Android >= 4.4.2 is needed. As Jolla 1 has Android 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean), Jolla C has Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop) and Jolla Tablet has Android 4.4.4 (KitKat), so Jolla 1 couldn't run NetFlix offline. But Jolla C and Jolla Tablet in theory could.

PS 2: installed OpenGApps Pico Installer on Jolla C (Sailfish 2.0.5.6), but NetFlix still doesn't show any download button or menu item.

Thanks. As NetFlix help shows that Android >= 4.4.2 is needed and Jolla 1 has Android 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean), then Jolla 1 couldn't run NetFlix offline. See my comment in the 1st post.
