What you need to know

  • The Disney+ app listing is live on Google Play, but only available in the Netherlands.
  • Dutch subcribers will apparently get a free preview this fall ahead of the November launch.
  • Screenshots of app on Android phones and tablets shown in listing.

This trial will apparently be a proving ground for the app ahead of the rollout in five countries this November. Testing in the Netherlands will certainly allow for a smaller testing group than any US beta would have allowed, though I can't help but feel a sharp pang of jealousy at the thought of anyone getting the Disney+ app months before I do.

DIsney+ is expected to launch on a variety of platforms, including Xbox One. However, the app isn't available for testing on Microsoft's console just yet.

For now, I'll keep rewatching Disney films on Movies Anywhere and waiting for the app to come to us.
