In a nutshell: Although plenty of its films are available through other streaming services, including Netflix, NOW TV and Amazon Prime Instant Video, Disney has also decided to offer its own subscription service. DisneyLife though offers far more than just streamed versions of its movies or TV shows, it also gives access to a large library of age appropriate eBooks and music from its record label.
Price: DisneyLife has a simple payment structure. It costs £9.99 a month all-in, which provides access to all the films, shows, books and music available on the platform. Subscribers also get one free Disney app to download to a mobile device a month too.
Devices: At present, DisneyLife is only available on iOS and Android, to watch content on tablets or smartphones. You can also download an app for Android TV boxes, but we’re still awaiting an Apple TV equivalent.
In the meantime, it does allow AirPlay and Chromecast streaming, so you can send shows, etc, from a mobile device to a box or dongle attached to a TV.
For: Because it is run by Disney, the presentation and depth of content is very impressive. All the Disney classic animated films are available, as well as all of Pixar’s output. Plenty of Disney archive material is available too, such as the entire Herbie movie series and the Pirates of the Caribbean flicks.
Box sets of TV shows for kids young and old are available. And all shows and films come with character information and other fun reveals.
All shows and movies can also be downloaded for offline viewing – for a car journey, say. And content is available in high definition (1080p) where available.
You can also set up profiles with parental controls for each member of the family – even the adults.
Against: Considering it is on Disney content, £9.99 a month can seem like a hefty amount considering the price of the other subscription streaming services, but you do get the eBooks and music streams for that money.
It also needs to be made available on other devices. Considering it is new though, that is something that is expected in time.
Conclusion: DisneyLife is a new kid on the block and very specialist in comparison to other streaming services. However, for young children it is a great way to keep them amused whether you are at home or away.
Some of the others could pick up a thing or two from it about presentation and picture quality too.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
