| Not to beat a dead horse, but why would anyone try to do math based on the app downloads? Most people who signed up on account of Hamilton are not watching it on their phones. I can't think of a more useless statistic. (Well, yes I can, but not related to this.) | |

| I watch on my TV but Disney+ is an app that is downloaded to my TV. | |

| I have been duly educated on apps on TVs but I still don't think the stat is valid. If a household has multiple TVs or phones or whatever else one can download apps onto, that's still one subscription but multiple downloads. The bottom line is that, as a metric, downloads stink. | |

| OK, but the app is not just phones, which is all I was saying. | |

| Understood. That's what I was saying I was educated about by your and other posts. I am not much of a tv person and have only 1 "stupid" tv that would be considered tiny by today's standards. | |

| Most people I know (mid 30s New Yorker) access Disney+ through the App downloaded on our phones or iPads. But we don’t actually WATCH it on our phone. I use a Chromecast to cast the stream onto my TV. Others use Apple TV, Roku, etc. It’s how I do Amazon Prime Video and a few other platforms of specific content and oftentimes Netflix, too. So yes, for the many many people who have opted out of a cable TV subscription, downloading the App is an effective metric. |

| I understand what you're saying, but it's worth remembering that people who use Apple TV, Roku, or Amazon Fire TV wouldn't necessarily be downloading the app for iOS or Android, unless they want to watch something on the go. I am among those people who have opted out of a cable TV subscription, and I watch Disney+ through the Fire stick - and I downloaded the app for Fire TV back in January when I did my first free trial, so even though I signed up for a new month in order to watch "Onward" (and then got a free year through Verizon), my re-subscribing did not lead to a new download. And, of course, at no point did I download to my iPad (though I have Netflix on my iPad, because I used to watch downloaded shows on my commute). So, again, I'm not saying that we can't learn something from the downloads of Android and iOS, I'm just saying that we can't know very much from just that data point for just those three days. |

| And remember, we can enjoy the subscription on up to 4 devices, yes? I’m really only interested in the Roku experience on my TV but many others are watching in multiple platforms. | |

| Maybe the app count includes app on smart TVs? | |

| I know we usually think of apps as being on phones but the smart TVs also call the Disney plus download getting the app. Anyway as you say this doesn’t make sense as a count anyway for viewing figures. | |
