Disney+

When I first heard this was coming out I was mainly excited for the Mandalorian show. I own all the Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar movies so I didn’t know how much value there would be. I’ve never seen all the animated classics so that was a plus for sure. But what I secretly hoped for was all the old stuff from even before I was born but that was played on the Disney channel in the 80s and 90s. As a kid I loved watching the shows where Walt talked about anything. And of course all the animated shorts. So it has all of that stuff plus it has movies I never got to see like Escape to Witch Mountain. I’ve been watching it all day today and I’m loving it. I haven’t been this excited for anything since the last Star Wars movie came out. And to the reviewer who says “should I be ashamed that I’m 35 and so excited for this?” No you shouldn’t. I’m 44. And Walt’s philosophy was that all of this stuff that he created was for people of ALL ages. There is no shame in wanting to relive your childhood by watching old episodes of the Mickey Mouse Club (yes that’s on here too!) My dad is 67 and when I told him that show is on here he said I need to show him how to get Disney+ on his TV. Sure it had a rough start yesterday but who didn’t see that coming? How many tens of millions of us were all trying to access it at once? Take it easy and enjoy. This isn’t going away. There’s plenty of time to watch the mountains of content. Thank you Disney for taking more of my money, gladly.

This is a wonderful app! I love being able to stream disney, marvel, star wars, and national geographic all in one app. Disney definitely comes in handy when my little cousins are visiting and my dad loves watching national geographic. I would definitely rate it 5 stars if it weren't for the fact that you can't remove things from the continue watching menu. Now I know it seems like an exaggeration to remove a whole star for something so little. This might just be a heat of the moment review considering the fact that I just spent 10 minutes removing things from my continue watching menu. As I said before, this app is definitely a huge help in distracting my little cousins who vist oftenly and my dad loves watching the wildlife shows. However, it seems like my prehistoric dad and my small brained cousins can't seem to comprehend the fact that the accounts labeled "dad" and "[child name]" are for them. They ALWAYS click on the first account available which happens to be mine. I know that this is a personal problem that you can't help. However, it's not the fact that they always seem to go to my account that bothers me. I'm already used to this treatment on other apps such as Netflix. The difference is that disney+ does not offer the ability to edit the continue watching section. It shouldn't be that big of a deal but I always like to keep my things nice and organized. Having to fast forward to the end of every unfinished movie or show is irritating. I hope that you can understand. Thank you.

I really enjoy the shows and movies available. Still some more I’m hoping that will be added later, however the app itself has a few flaws. First off, I really don’t like that I have to search for my show every time to pick up where I left off. Also, sometimes I don’t remember what all I’m watching so I have to try and remember what it is so I can start it up again. Another flaw I’ve noticed is the movies have an add button. I’ve clicked the add button on movies and nothing happened. I’m assuming it’s an add to watch list or your list type of thing but I’ll go back to those movies later and try to add them again and the app resets it like it never happened. It doesn’t make sense why it’s there when it doesn’t do anything. I’m pretty sure that’s a flaw in the coding. Also, there isn’t even a “My list” or “Watch list” category available anywhere so the plus symbol to add the movies is basically there for looks and pointless. Also, the button to skip forward a few seconds is VERY slow when you click on it. It loads for a bit which doesn’t happen with Netflix. And the button to skip intro doesn’t always skip the intro, just part of it. It’s definitely a problem with the app because my other streaming platforms do everything just fine. It’s a cool idea but the app feels very rushed. Disappointed because this app had so much potential but you can tell it was put out for the money and not for the quality. 5 stars for great movie content, 2 1/2 stars for functionality of the app.
