Four years after Disney+ launched, Disney has shut down several other streaming apps, consolidating their services.

In August, Disney notified customers of various streaming apps that they would shut down on September 23. As of that date, DisneyNow, ABC, Freeform, FXNow, and Nat Geo TV apps are all no longer available. Their respective streaming websites remain up, but any links to the apps have disappeared from the web.

DisneyNow was a precursor to Disney+ that launched in September 2017, combining the streaming services for Disney Channel, Disney Junior, and Disney XD. Various DisneyNow content has moved to Disney+ over the years, including “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse,” “That’s So Raven,” “The Proud Family,” “Phineas and Ferb,” and “Gravity Falls.”

The shutdowns are meant to encourage users to instead subscribe to Disney+ and Hulu.

Disney+ Basic (with ads) is $7.99/month, while Disney+ Premium (without ads) is $13.99. This week, Disney+ launched a paid “extra member” option as they crack down on password sharing.

Hulu’s basic plan is also $7.99/month. Its plan with no ads is $17.99/month. There are also various bundles available for Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+.
