Disney+, which has been in our country since June 14, made a lot of noise with its launch, but users noticed many shortcomings on the platform over time. It turns out that Disney+ is still in its infancy.
It has 1000 movies, 400 TV series and 170 original productions in its library. Disney+; He especially relies on National Geographic documentaries, Disney’s iconic animated films, Marvel and Star Wars productions.
In fact, it is 3 times smaller than Netflix’s content volume, but since it has just started broadcasting, it would be unfair to see this as a shortcoming for now. However, it is impossible not to complain about the shortcomings that you will read shortly.
The mobile application has a download option, but the desktop version does not offer offline use.
So on a day when you don’t have internet, you can stay in the middle of nowhere.
The interface is not minimal, so at first glance it is very difficult to distinguish the contents.
This makes it very difficult to choose content.
The same content appears over and over on different lists, creating an unnecessary and tiring impression.
Due to the crowd created by the repetitions, you have difficulty in finding the content you are looking for and it causes a waste of time.
There are errors that can be considered amateurish in the subtitles.
In addition to insufficient translations, there are many errors such as not leaving spaces between words. Moreover, it is not just a few, obviously the subtitles do not pass a good editorial control.
You cannot customize the subtitle settings on mobile.
You can only specify languages. Settings such as background color, subtitle size are not offered.
You cannot move the play bar in the TV app.
It is necessary to rewind the production like watching a DVD, you can bring it wherever you want by pulling the stick. Player screen options are very insufficient.
There is no playback speed option. You cannot watch boring scenes at 1.5x speed.
While some of its competitors offer this possibility, Disney+ does not. Moreover, although it is now a very preferred feature.
There is no “skip to next chapter” button.
You cannot switch manually until the “switch to the next chapter” button appears at the end of the chapter.
Chapter titles such as “Special Suggestions for You”, “Continue Watching” are so small that you have to read all the titles one by one.
The “Special Suggestions for You” feature does not work well.
As you can see in the image; Lost, The Kardashians, HIMYM, Landscapes from Earth have nothing in common.
Some of the cover images used in the content are of very poor quality.
If you look carefully, you can see that it is pixel by pixel.
Unable to remove content from “Continue Watching”.
This was an issue with Netflix as well, but Netflix fixed it two years ago. Let’s see how many years will it take for Disney+ to realize this?
When you first translate a content that you have opened in Turkish into a different language, it does not remember this setting.
In other words, the content you set that setting consists of, let’s say, 15 seasons and has hundreds of episodes; you have to set the language and subtitles from the beginning every time.
Some cartoons have Turkish dubbing in the first parts, but not in the later parts (Come and tell the children).
In addition, the image quality of some old cartoons remains in class. It’s almost like it was downloaded and installed from hdfilmhell.
There is no “screen lock” feature.
This feature is very useful as it prevents you from accidentally touching the screen on your mobile device, but it is not available on Disney+ at the moment, although it is available on some platforms.
In order to see all the parts of a content that you opened from the “Continue Watching” section, you need to return to the main screen and open that content in a normal category.
Totally chore.
The sound system is very unstable, in some scenes you can hardly hear the dialogue, but if there is an explosion in the next scene, it can be exaggeratedly loud.
Fortunately, some TVs have a sound stabilization system.
Bonus: The first original domestic drama, “Escape,” is unquestionably bad.
Even completing the first part is very difficult. Almost at the level of Channel 7 series. This creates the expectation that the original productions that will come later may also be bad, and it shakes the trust in the platform.
These were the empty half of the glass, of course there is also the full side.
