Disney+Reviews 29

Disney plus is actually such a staple in my life - all the marvel, starwars and cartoons just really hold a special place in my heart because they are so easy and enjoyable to watch! I love that it has the new marvel tv shows as well, all of them are soooo good!

Disney+ has such a great mixture of shows - from nostalgic childhood films to new TV series, I never get bored of the service.
At 7.99 for the subscription, it's pretty standard pricing. The website / app itself is super smooth and easy to navigate. Great for smart TVs.
Would recommend.

The video quality is excellent, with several 4K movies available. It includes almost all Disney films, as well as Star Wars, Marvel, and Pixar. They haven't added much new material since its inception, at least not at the same rate as other streaming providers. I get it is less expensive than others, however, I wish there was more current original stuff. It's fantastic for kids.

Very good website. You don't have to spend a fortune on subscription as it usually happens to enjoy great content. Think, everyone can find something interesting there.

There's no doubt that there's a ton of great content on Disney Plus literally something for all the family. Some major movies are missing, but that's down to region restrictions and laws in specific countries, so we can't fault Disney for that.

The real problem comes with the actual player. On my TV (a recent Samsung SmartTV) the app is awful. Content stops to buffer every few seconds. Okay I don't have the fastest internet, only about 10Mb/s, but Netflix and Amazon Prime don't have these problems neither of them ever buffer. Disney is virtually unwatchable most of the time. Nothing takes you out of a movie like having the action stop-start-stop-start! It's not much better on other devices (I use iPads and MacBooks) either.

My other main quibble is the interface. The main screen for selecting shows is hard to navigate and so, so slow... thumbnails take minutes to load. There's a button to "skip recaps", but there's no way I've been able to find to actually navigate to it. And another personal bugbear is subtitles they're only available in one language for most content. Netflix manages a dozen or more.

I know all of these problems are fixable because Netflix has managed. They have a bigger catalogue, a way better interface, and no buffering or speed problems. But they also don't have Disney's shows.

I'm keeping my Disney Plus subscription going for now because it's relatively low priced, and because I hope that the app will get better over time. If it worked properly, it would be great value.
