Disney Consolidates Watch Apps with DisneyNOW

The Disney Channel, Disney XD and Disney Junior Watch apps have been combined into one newly branded DisneyNOW app featuring an upgraded user experience and full episodes of series from each network.

Access to full episodes from and live streaming of Disney Channel, Disney Junior and Disney XD will be available via the DisneyNOW app when viewers authenticate via their participating cable, satellite or digital programming distributor. Each network is also offering a selection of full episodes to fans without signing in. Users will also have access to Radio Disney content and more than 60 games and activities.

New games will be added to DisneyNOW every month. The app will deliver in-season stacking for current series, including Disney Channel’s Andi Mack, Raven’s Home, Bizaardvark, Stuck in the Middle and Tangled: The Series; Disney Junior’s Vampirina, Elena of Avalor, Mickey and the Roadster Racers, The Lion Guard, Puppy Dog Pals and PJ Masks; and Disney XD’s DuckTales, Star Wars Rebels, Walk the Prank, MECH-X4 and Milo Murphy’s Law. DisneyNOW will also feature Disney Channel original movies and more.

DisneyNOW is currently available on iOS, tvOS, Android/Kindle and Roku. It will launch for Amazon Fire TV, Android TV and the web in 2018.

Kimberly Hicks, the VP of digital media at Disney Channels, said, “The decision to consolidate our Disney Channel Watch apps into the new DisneyNOW app was driven by what kids told us they want in a video experience. The upgraded app enables us to showcase great stories and characters, and bring the magic of Disney Channel, Disney XD and Disney Junior to their daily lives.”
