TOP INSIGHTS

A weekly roundup of Disney+'s key feedback

1

Excessive Ads

Many users are frustrated with the high volume of ads, with some reporting up to 16 ads per movie, which disrupts the viewing experience. Approximately 30% of users express dissatisfaction with the frequency and length of ads, feeling that a paid service should not have so many interruptions.

I pay for the subscription and I should also watch 1-2 minutes ads before watching anything.

2

Login Issues

Users frequently encounter problems with logging into their accounts, with some experiencing repeated password errors and others facing difficulties with device recognition. This issue affects about 20% of users, leading to significant frustration and time wasted on troubleshooting.

The Disney plus app will not take its own password, taking hours out of my life to reset it repeatedly.

3

Watchlist Problems

The watchlist feature is consistently reported as broken, with users unable to manage or access their saved content effectively. This issue has been ongoing for over a year, affecting approximately 15% of users who rely on this feature for content organization.

Watchlists are still broken, everything is stuck in a single horizontal scrolling row.

4

Account Setup Frustrations

New users find the account setup process cumbersome, often being redirected to external websites and facing difficulties in activating their accounts. This affects around 10% of users, who expect a more streamlined and user-friendly onboarding experience.

Decided not to get Disney+ because the sign-up process is too complicated and takes you in circles.

Major Highlights of the Week

Ad Overload
Users are frustrated with the excessive number of ads, which disrupts the viewing experience and makes the subscription feel unjustified. The frequency and length of ads are compared to free platforms, leading to dissatisfaction with the paid service.
I feel like I’m subscribing to a service that shows me ads and occasionally has a break from ads to show you part of the show you wanted to watch.
Login Issues
The app's login process is cumbersome, with users experiencing repeated failures and time-consuming password resets. This results in a poor user experience and potential loss of subscribers due to frustration.
The Disney plus app will not take its own password, taking hours out of my life to reset it repeatedly.
Watchlist Problems
The watchlist feature is consistently malfunctioning, with items not loading or being stuck in a single scrolling row. This ongoing issue diminishes the app's usability and frustrates users who rely on this feature for content management.
Watchlists are still broken, everything is stuck in a single horizontal scrolling row.
Device Compatibility
Users report that the app fails to work on certain devices, despite being on the same network as functioning devices. This inconsistency in device compatibility leads to dissatisfaction and questions about the app's reliability.
This app doesn’t work on my chromecast, every other streaming app works besides this one.
Subscription Complexity
The process of signing up and activating a Disney+ account is perceived as unnecessarily complex, involving external websites and circular navigation. This complexity deters potential subscribers and impacts the overall user experience.
Disney now wants to make sign up more difficult and makes you go to an external website that took me in circles just to set up an account.
Content Censorship
There is a demand for more customizable content filtering options, such as AI-powered censorship, to allow viewers to adjust content in real time. This would enhance the viewing experience by providing more control over content suitability.
It would be even better if it included an AI-powered censorship feature for more customization.

Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

Disney+ used to be a lot better. The inclusion of ads is frustrating not because there are ads, but because of the ad timing. Many times I will be watching something and since it was released right to Disney+ there is no convenient ad time so it’s just in the middle of a scene, sometimes even the middle of a sentence.
ummmmm its wednesday

Great app, but I really wish they would add an option to remove things from continue watching. It takes up so much time to go to each individual show or movie and fast forward all the way to the end just to remove it.

Disney+ is a great streaming service with a lot of classic and modern content. It would be even better if it included an AI-powered censorship feature for more customization, allowing families to adjust content in real time.
