2/x Disney+ divides all of the content up based on branding. You want Star Wars? Go to the Star Wars hub. You want Marvel? Here you go. You want to see comedies about murders in an apartment building that you haven't watched? Too bad, you will _never_ find Only Murders in the Building.

3/x Contrarily, Hulu's interface is much more user friendly: rather than pushing solely brands at you, it seems to focus more on content categorization. Sure you can find the newest brand-specific content, but you can also browser for varied anime content you might have missed.

4/x But that's not the one that bothers me the most. The one that bothers me the most is that I have some very inquisitive children and the password prompt (where you enter your profile PIN) on the Disney+ Apple TV app was implemented by monsters.

5/x Rather than presenting a keyboard interface (such as the one Hulu uses, or Netflix, or even the half-assed Paramount+ app uses), you are presented with a GUI interface that _looks_ like a keyboard but is not, in fact, a keyboard interface. You _cannot_ enter your PIN privately.

6/x Instead, you _must_ enter your PIN with left-right controls which are displayed on screen. Anyone watching the TV now knows your PIN, even if you enter it from the remote app. Once again, completely unlike _every other streaming service_.

7/7 I am not against "one app" : simplifying the delivery, interface, content, and billing is good (though you _know_ the price is going to go up... :( ) but I sincerely hope that the Hulu development team is allowed share some improvements, because the Disney+ app team needs help.
