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.
