Is the Disney App Safe? A Disney+ App Review for Parents
Recommended Age
8 and up
Overview
The next best thing to a trip to Disney World? A subscription to the Disney app! Known as Disney+, it’s home to tons of kid-friendly TV shows and movies, including modern and classic animated films. You’ll also find Star Wars and Marvel content! But like any streaming platform, there are a few things parents should know before giving their kids access to it.
Harmful Content 😲
While Disney+ mostly has lots of kid content, their recent acquisition of properties like Marvel means that there are now R- and MA-rated TV shows and movies on the platform.
Predation 🚨
The potential for predation is near zero because there’s no chat or messaging feature on the Disney+ app.
Positive Value 💙
In addition to kid favorites like Disney movies, Pixar cartoons, and musicals, Disney+ is also home to educational content in the form of National Geographic shows and documentaries. There’s plenty for families to love about the Disney app.
Privacy 🔒
When you create a kid’s account, the only person who will be able to see what they’re watching is you.
Parental Controls ✅
Like other popular streaming platforms, Disney+ allows parents to create age-appropriate child profiles for their kids, which limits the type of content your kid can access. Kid-only profiles feature curated TV shows, movies, and documentaries. And to keep your kid from just logging into your profile, you can set a PIN code to keep things separate.
So, should my kid download it?
Sure! The Disney app, when you turn on settings that are age-appropriate for your child, is a great way for kids to watch their favorite TV shows and movies.
