Think I will rather wait for all these issues to get sorted out and try next year.

Of course!
If it is a typical Indian software sweatshop then their jobs depend on churning out code as fast as possible.If you don't watch all the credits , your viewing queue shows everything you have watched that appears to be 75% complete because the remaining bits are the credits .Seriously do their devs do no fscken UA testing?

Every version of the South Africa application is different. Some give 4k, others don't. Some have full surround sound options, others are just stereo. Some pop up an option to go to the next episode, others run all the way through the end credits. There is simply no consistent set of features across the South African applications.
Not that Netflix has entirely consistent apps, but they at least seem to be consistent when it comes to screen resolution and sound.

Both are separate subscriptions, with different login requirements.
Yep, also the US version uses an email and password. South African version uses a phone number.
Keep in mind that for the US version you need a VPN and a subscription to the US version of D+. Paying for D+ might not be too straightforward so you may need to look into gift cards.

I know this I am asking why pay foe both?

I'd pay for the US/UK version, but not the local one ...
That is my point exactly. why would anyone pay for both if you can just stick with the US version, better content and also seems to be better and stable app.

But Disney_ in Us cost more than the Disney+ SA and you don't get Star, and excuse the pun but that is the star of Disney+ for the adults

The US/UK app is better, but is also not without issues.

Not prepared to suffer the issues it has, regardless of the Star content.

Had the same. Have to change the quality setting from auto to 4k, or 4k to auto...
The thing about D+ for SA is that it contains Hulu shows. It would be a bargain if they fix all of the problems.
D+ for the US lacks those shows, so you would also need Hulu for a larger library. Fortunately, they have the D+ & Hulu bundle, but it works out a bit more expensive ($13.99/month = R215).

I only see issues in this thread. Solution is to cancel D+.
