After coming into my electronic mail and password, I used to be greeted by a message that claims: “Sadly, this app doesn’t assist in-app enroll. End organising your account on the web site. Create and handle your account at disneyplus.com/subsequent.” Hulu’s iOS app additionally pushes you to the Hulu web site should you attempt to log in with out an lively subscription.
