Reliable and rich media streaming platform
A multimedia app that combines the global library of Disney+ and the Indian-centric catalog of Hotstar, Disney+ Hotstar is available to patrons in India, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia. It combines two discrete libraries of content, making it a one-stop entertainment hub. You only need to have a paid subscription in order to enjoy its entire range of offerings.
Besides the rich media coverage, Disney+ Hotstar also supports a range of resolution qualities, so users can opt for a full HD or a low-res experience. Downloading films and episodes is possible, too, allowing users to continue the fun times offline.
Diverse selection of classics and modern content
Disney+ Hotstar provides a wide selection of entertainment from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, and many more. Plus, it includes exclusive Indonesian premieres that everyone can enjoy. With an account and a paid subscription to the service, you can log in and stream on up to two devices at the same time. It also supports Chromecast, so you can watch your favorites on a bigger screen.
The app provides continuous streaming without any ads or interruptions. You can even download your favorite show and watch it offline at any time you want. In terms of quality, the app provides flexible options depending on the capacity of your internet connection — you can choose between full, crystal clear HD and low-resolution settings. Moreover, there are Indonesian dubs available for selected global blockbusters.
Aside from being available to only a limited number of countries, another drawback of the app is that it doesn’t offer a directory as rich and diverse as its counterparts, like Amazon Prime, Netflix, or Hulu. To make up for that, it does feature well-loved Disney classics, Indian Hotstar originals, and other domestic and third-party content. Through its user-friendly interface, finding a film or series to binge-watch is never difficult.
A great deal overall
Overall, Disney+ Hotstar is a promising media streaming service packed with an interface that’s easy to navigate and a gold mine of content. It requires a paid subscription before you can enjoy its services, but consider that you’re basically paying for Disney+ and Hotstar in one app — making it a decent deal. Although, if you’re looking for exclusive content featured by other streaming platforms, you won’t find them here.
