Disney Junior - watch now! for Android
My kids and I love the content, but the app is takes way too long to load. I have a nice phone and great internet connection, but loading each episode is grueling. I also have to login to my Xfinity account every time I use the app, even though I check the remember me check box. Additionally, I can't get it to work with Chromecast anymore.
My 9 month old son loves Disney Jr but I have so many problems loading the app to chromecast. They really need to fix the problem. It will finally load after trying it 5 or 6 times but in between those I have to completely close out the app to try it again. Very frustrating :(
This app would awesome if not for its constant glitchiness. Most episodes fail to load due to some connection error. Often times the screen turns black and fires another error message. It's usually not reliable. If these issues were fixed, this would be a great app!
Update: the most recent update broke the Chromecast feature which basically renders this pointless so if I could give you no stars I would. I used to think this app was good. It offered full episodes since I have a cable subscription. This latest update though forces ads down your throat before watching anything and to make matters worse it makes you watch the same ad twice. If you want to run ads for people without a cable subscription sure, but people that are already paying for the channel shouldn't have it.
This app is pretty terrible. Everything loads slowly, if at all. The app has you sign in with a cable or satellite provider, but also needs a cell phone service to install. This is ridiculous. I am missing out on my kids watching toons on my tablet because it doesn't have cell phone signal. I don't see why this is. So, you'd think you could just use the Disney junior website... NO! It still is lumbering along with flash video. Yuck. Disney's stable of web developers must either not care or are terrible at their jobs.
Why does it keep glitching? Worked just fine yesterday now it either won't load, takes too long to load and if you're lucky enough to get it to load there's sound but no picture.
If Nick Jr. had an Android app I would never use this stupid app. It takes forever to start and half the time it won't connect. When it does, you cant connect to the chromecast first or it wont work. You have to let the show start. You cant pause it or change the episode or it will stall out and do nothing. When this happens you have to shut everything off and restart it all again. If you want to watch more than one show in a row you need to restart everything inbetween. It gets really old.
This app constantly "breaks". I use it to cast to my Chromecast and since yesterday mid morning it refuses to connect to my Chromecast, while other apps connect just fine! Between this one and Disney channel app they are both broken and I have one pissed off 3 year old right now!
This app was fine til the update now it won't cast to my daughter chrome cast in her room. So I have a 1 1/2 year old little girl who is mad she can't watch her favourite episodes when she wants. Hope this problem gets fixed soon!!
It's last update broke the Chromecast feature. It won't connect fully and just resets the Chromecast. Really disappointed in this because my children all love this app to watch their favorite shows. Please fix this ASAP!
This is by far the worst app I have ever used. It doesn't load half the time, and when it does it says I'm not connected to my provider, even though I have the xfinity app on my phone that I am always connected to. Then, when it asks for me to sign into my provider and I click on xfinity it just takes me right back to selecting the provider. My biggest problem is, that to even get into the app requires 20 to 30 minutes of looking at the loading screen before it finally does anything. I'm not exaggerating either. So I will be uninstalling this application and I will not reinstall even though my daughter loves micky mouse.
Shows are great but the app is the worst.... Will never load and just sits on loading page for hours... I can't even sign into my cable provider, it has me pick them it says to set up, has me pick service provider then goes right back to screen saying I need to set up... Just a loop... I'm about to just cancel my subscription to the cable company for these channels because the only reason we ordered them was so we can use the app on the road... Now the app doesn't even work... Honestly get someone who knows how to program an app, this is Disney for God's sake, you guys own everything... You think you could get an app right...
Used to love this app, after the update, not so much. Takes forEVER to open. Could click on an episode and when it finished it would go on to the next. Now there's sound but no picture, wonderful. Are the developers even parents? I spend more time trying to keep my kid from having a melt down waiting the freakin' thing to even work. Constantly have to force stop the app since it'll just freeze up and not let you back out.
This app use to work great, until it required an "update." It wouldn't play unless I installed the update, I had no choice so I did. Now, all shorts stay full black screen and won't play. This is how I sit my 1 year old to do her her but if this isn't fixed soon I'm uninstalling. I'll stick with the Nick Jr. App instead.
I love this app it let's me watch all my favorite disney junior shows!!! I don't know why I have to see so many rude comments about this app because for me it works perfectly fine, and it doesn't glitch or take forever to load!
Uninstalling...tried to make us sign up for DirectTV to work. So disappointing since the current cable company we are paying has Disney. My children are bummed :(
My 3 year old son love's Disney Junior ,so I thought this app would be good. When I first downloaded this app for him it worked fine, he was so excited! His excitement turned to frustration soon after though..because of all the glitching,freezing up, blank of screen all of a sudden..in the middle of a show he was totally into,and constant error messages. Like someone else commented above..I think Netflix and Hulu will have to do for now..until this app gets fixed..if it ever does.
This app is constantly crashing. My 2 year old is always crying because a game or show he wants woun't load. It is very disappointing especially because you expect tgr best from disney.
Can't stop getting error 400-1 that I can't log in w/ TV provider. Haven't been able to for quite some time. Not happy.
Why did you remove almost all the episodes of mickey mouse club house?? Not cool. Thats my daughter's favorite show. Looks like i'm removing this app from all my devices. Please reverse this decision.
My daughter loves watching this app and our internet connection is great, but the app will freeze and say error connection and also go black. And slows down my phone a bit also. Please fix the bugs in this app.
Doesn't work at all now that ads have been integrated! Seriously, Disney, you make enough money, my three year old doesn't need to see more of your ads. Especially since I have my direcTV login on. It just loads and loads and loads and never plays the first ad, let alone the actual show we want to watch. So much for this app.
This app was great until it refused to link to my chrome cast, i have a sick little boy who is now very upset. It has great episode choices just lots of glitches :-(
I love the app but ever since it updated a few weeks ago it takes forever to load & a lot of times it just turns off randomly... Also I wish you were able to just subscribe to Disney Jr instead of having to have a cable provider.
Samsung J7: UPDATE: I give my most humble apologies Disney. Out loss of access was not your fault at all. It was AT&T. All is fixed now. Many thanks to your support staff in helping us regain access. INITIAL REVIEW Until today, 3/13/17, this was a 5 star app for me. My day starts at 4:15am and my 8 month old son's day start at 5:15am. This app has been the calm to our 45 min drive to day care until today. ALLLLL day I've rcbd an error msg " 400-1:null" What does that mean? All I know is that I am in for a long ride home at 6:30pm. This is not good Mickey reps, not good at all. Please fix soooooooonest. I need Mickey, Elena, & Sophia. More than anything, my ears need them. 3/15/17-Same error msg on my phone, roke, and tablet. Plays fine on my... I have AT&T Uverse.
The app doesn't recogonize the Googlecast built into my new Toshiba TV. It worked great with just my plug in Chromecast. Such a disappointment for both this and the ABC app.
Since update, unable to sign in. Prior to last update, would have to sign out & back in on a regular basis because the app would randomly say I was not logged in. Very upset preschooler now.
Why on earth does a required to continue working, "bug fix" update require access to the microphone? Really creepy for something intended for kids Games still riddled with bugs
My child is unable to use this app because they don't have our cable provider (twc spectrum/ time warner spectrum) the app says you still can but you can't
This app was awesome till the last update...now it wont even open up or load...literally the day i updated the stupid thing because it gave me no choice it workex for 30 minutes and has refused to open since...just says that unfortunately dis jr has stopped...wtf
It has all the disney Jr shows and there is nothing wrong with it
Was a great app until it stopped connecting to chromecast. It's not my wifi and it's not chromecast as I am able to cast from other apps. I unstained and reinstalled with no luck. Please fix.
No longer works with Chromecast. Has so many glitches I am going to remove and just use Netflix or Hulu. Disney normally does things right, but not this time.
Works for watching shows on your phone/tablet but the Chromecast feature does not work at all. The button is there but doesn't work when you try to connect to a device.
Disney Jr, could you please fix the issues?? I can't connect the app to the chromecast. I noticed everyone else is having the same issue.
This app is great. For long or short rides it keeps my little girl content. She can either watch full episodes of any show she likes or play games. I love it. Thanks Disney
Prior to update was slow, glitchy commercials, and wouldn't string episodes together back to back. After update, will not connect to chromecast, removing whatever usefulness it actually had to start with.
This app worked good until about a month ago now there are so many error codes and connection problems when you try to watch shows I wish someone would fix this bug
Love the shows, but many problems with the app. We use Chromecast. Casting worked perfectly, until it didn't. Current phone, good internet. It's the app. :(

My 5year old daughter loves this app but now it kickes us out. Does not work on my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Tablet, my Samsung Galaxy S6 phone or my daughter's Nabi. It kicks us out on all devices after being on the app for about 1 min. Our internet connection is strong. We've tried multiple internet connections (my phone internet, my hotsopt, my wifi at home, my dads wifi at his house, the library even McDonalds). It always kicks us out. Please fix it we really love this app. It used to work perfect.
