First off, loving the free trial for few days and I will continue to keep it for the time being due to Mandalorian.

However.... a lot of the series and films have an "extra" section.

Most of these are ready to go. Why not include them from the Blu-ray etc..?

And speaking of Mandalorian, it's a chore waiting a week for a 30 min episode. Why not include a "making of" for that episode or show some of the amazing artwork etc.. in the "extras" section. Gives us something to watch while we wait for next episode.

That way you differentiate your service from the others. Now it could be their plan all along but keeping it conservative to ensure servers don't lag.

But you can't launch a service with an "extras" tab and your anchor show (Mandalorian) doesn't have any.

My issue is you can only watch in landscape mode on phones so i can't multitask .

I think subbing just for one show just isnt worth it.


As for me, I'm a huge Disney fan and there's a ton of classics I missed and ton of I want to rewatch since its been years.



Just watch something else.


My main gripe with Disney+ is that it doesnt include every classic show (i.e. Aladdin TV series).


Edit: Also episode orders are out of order lol (unless they fixed that - havent used it yesterday).

Does it have episode resume on PS4

I didn't notice a "continue watching" list, or a "next episode" option.

My issue is a severe lack of interesting new content now and in the near future. Also the fact that it runs like complete trash on most of my platforms and they removed Continue Watching, which makes watching a series with multiple seasons a complete chore.

-There's a glitch with the watchlist where if you click a movie on your watchlist, it shows a "+", showing it's not on your watchlist, even though it is.
-Unlike Netflix or Hulu, things don't pop out so I can add and remove them from my watchlist from the main menu.
-You can't rearrange your watchlist like Netflix.

I thought it auto resumed based on your profile. I started on my Xbox and finished on my phone without it giving me an option to resume or restart.

My biggest issue it isn't available where I live.

And I can tell you already, a lot of adults my age today that have (in time) adopted Netflix (and HBO) for simplicity and accessibility are now heavily reverting back to piracy.

Disney+ isn't even here yet and we're anticipating the coming subscription hell.

I don't really understand your complaint, you are complaining that more stuff doesn't have Extras or specifically that Mando doesn't? Because I've seen extras on a lot of movies and TV shows, just MCU stuff or older TV shows.

I imagine they are simply focused on creating every episode of Mandalorian for now, and not much bandwidth to make extras. If you're the director you probably wanna vet that stuff not just hand it off, and there's only so much time you have while show is in a live season. I'd bet in the downtime between seasons when writers are working on new episodes thats when you'll see a lot of extra stuff created. I appreciate the sentiment of wanting more stuff for something you like, but no matter how much they deliver you will always want more stuff between episodes.

I find listening to podcasts about the show pretty helpful as they catch stuff I didn't see, and it makes a rewatch more enjoyable.

but yeah my biggest complaint would be the D+ UI, its awful. i guess there is nowhere to go but improve.

Disney+ isn't in Europe because of the European content laws for channels/services, right? You have to have a certain percentage be native content and Netflix has sown up a lot of that content already.

There's a boatload they need to improve. A continue watching tab for one. Resume seems to work for movies but not shows.

Most importantly not marking what you watched, me and my mom have been watching an episode or two of the exotic animal doctor every meal and have to remember where we left off because otherwise it will keep starting at S1 E1.

It hasn't been a week so I can deal for now but they really need to do something, if it stays like this that's more likely to get me to stop caring, the contents fine.

They need to fix the episode order shit - a decent amount of shows are out of order. Very annoying. How you fuck that up I don't know.

That's because it's automatic. I started episode 2 of the Mandalorian on my Apple TV then jumped over to my Xbox One X to complete it. It picked up where I'd left off. Does the same even if you stay on the same device.

I think the lack of polish on the app is really odd.

It's quite surprising, the App is a mess. I got a free year of it through Verizon so I don't really care about the short comings but you'd think a company as huge as Disney would spend the money to build a proper streaming app. I hate to say it but the god awful HBO Go app is better than this right now and that's saying something.

I'm probably gonna wait around half a year (or three months if the Mandalorian is that good) before I check it out. There was no way they'd come up with a polished, bug free app on its release.

Co-sign. HBO is so bad I get it through Hulu. Speaking of that UI went from one of the worst to pretty damn snappy and nice, and considering Disney has controlling interest in it you think they could have taken lessons from the current Hulu setup.
