Another obnoxious #DisneyPlus UI fail:
Not ONE thing on this title page suggests What If? is returning in 2022, let alone ever. Netflix gets it. Disney+ EASILY could.
"Season 2 Coming 2022."
What if.. @asadayaz and @mpaull required Disney+ to add the message to "renewed" shows
Can you imagine if Disney made the simple policy to post messages like this that tell you when shows are renewed or returning... consistently... that simple change using the space they ALREADY HAVE for such purposes?
They have beautiful yellow Coming Soon font that goes there...
How asinine is it that they invest so much money into amazing originals, but do less than jack to promote in-app that their shows are coming back?
Guarantee you MANY people think
Mighty Ducks Game Changers
Big Shot
Mysterious Benedict Society
Doogie Kamealoha
are over.
Not the same thing, but it's cool how Paramount+ does this (photo 1)
and Netflix does this (photo 2).
That's another MASSIVE failure of #DisneyPlus. NOT ONE DARN THING when new seasons arrive that tells anybody ANYTHING has changed.
$DIS UI *could* be the best of any...🙏
Same vibe as their useless coming soon row that they never update. Overall Disney+ is below subpar when it comes to promoting their content.
Are they better than Peacock? Yes.
Prime? Yes.
Paramount+? A bit, yeah!
Netflix? Not remotely close.
HBO Max? Not even close.
Every gosh DAMN title in this coming soon row (except Moon Knight) was there on November 12. 2021. The day they added it.
Damn this thing... this useless, poorly implemented feature.
Once again, this week ALONE:
TWO ORIGINALS:
Cheaper by the Dozen (?!)
More Than Robots (?!)
How the HELL does Cheaper by the Dozen STILL not have a title page when Sneakerella has had one since NOVEMBER and was initially supposed to be released 1 month apart?!
Also coming this week from the library, all deserving of title pages in the coming soon row:
Agents of SHIELD
Daredevil
Jessica Jones
Iron Fist
Luke Cage
The Punisher
Defenders
Step (basically the ONLY library film this month...)
NEXT WEEK:
THREE MORE ORIGINALS
olivia rodrigo: driving home 2 u ?!
HOW THE FRACKIN HECK IS A HOMEGROWN MEGASTAR NOT BEING PROMOTED?
Parallels (An ignored French original)
Mickey Mouse Spring Special...
Disney+ actually USE the features you implement!!
1) You have had a yellow coming soon text space on every title page since launch. USE IT for series renewal notifications, to mention recently added seasons / series / episodes, and for release dates of titles.
2) You have a coming soon row for 5 months. USE IT to promote the library titles you announce EVERY month around the 17th of the month, the titles that appear in the 1st of the month video that didn't make the initial press release, and originals out to 4 months.
Why else add features if not to use them?
Never seen people so determined to sabotage their own work.
Love,
Literally all Disney+ Subscribers
