The long-awaited launch day for the streaming service Disney+ had more than its share of technical difficulties on Tuesday, forcing Disney to issue an apology for the preponderance of crash notifications users received on their television screens.

“Twitter users mentioned problems accessing the service or some of its features around 7:00 A.M. New York time, and Downdetector.com showed 6,900 reports of problems with the service around 7:30 A.M. ET and slightly more than 7,000 later before problem reports dropped off,” reports The Hollywood Reporter. “People mentioned problems signing up, logging in and streaming.”
