I love Disney+ so much and use it for almost everything I watch.
Top Complaints (Impact Areas)
2 minute long ads every 6 minutes. This is major B.S.
People already pay a subscription and you expect them to also watch unskippable ads?
Every time I open my Disney +, I have problems starting a movie. Insane lagging, bad audio sync and sometimes kicking me out.
Just sits on a loading screen for minutes
