Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We pay for Disney+ for the sake of our little kids. They love the movies. We were especially excited to have the download feature for long drives. Having a great movie to watch makes almost any drive possible. What we are definitely NOT excited about is the fact that downloads often will not play without an internet connection. You go to the downloads tab, open a downloaded file, and it just gives you an error and says it can't be played at this time. Then when you get an internet connection the downloaded files suddenly work fine. It doesn't happen every time, but it does seem to happen if you haven't had a WiFi signal for over a couple of hours. DISNEY, WHAT IS THE POINT OF PROVIDING A DOWNLOAD OPTION THEN PREVENTING DOWNLOADS FROM PLAYING WITHOUT THE OCCASIONAL NETWORK CHECK-IN?! Are you that paranoid that somebody is going to be watching downloads after a subscription has lapsed or something? Couldn't you at least let downloads work for more than a couple of hours before your app starts shutting me down? I have no complaints about the price of the subscription, but between my monthly payments and all the super expensive Disney merchandise I've purchased over the years, I would think you could afford to take the risk of allowing downloads to be watched for at least a few days without a network connection. Every time we are on a drive, we're holding our breath waiting for the downloads to stop working. It's annoying. We even thought "there's no way Disney is being this paranoid and cheap." So we bought a brand new tablet (different maker) assuming that our device was probably the issue. NOPE. Can confirm the app's download feature is terrible and it is the app's fault. I would love to give this app 5 stars like everyone else. The second this feature is improved I'll be smashing that five star review.
