Disney+ subscribers can experience the short film Remembering in a whole new way! Remembering: The AR Experience is a first-of-its-kind companion augmented reality app that lets Disney+ subscribers extend The World of Imagination into their living room. Now streaming on Disney+, Remembering is an original short film directed by Elijah Allan-Blitz and starring Brie Larson. It’s the story of a writer who loses touch with her creative essence and the captivating journey one idea takes to reunite with her. Guided by a mysterious child, the idea travels through a magical world where anything imagined, dreamed or wished is brought to life. It‘s easy to lose touch with this world, but each of us can be inspired by it—if we just remember. With this immersive augmented reality app, Disney+ subscribers can become a part of the story like never before. Use an iPhone or iPad to step into this magical world and rediscover the creative spirit that lives within each of us. Remember—with a little imagination, anything is possible! NOTE: For the best experience, we recommend using this app on an iPhone 12 Pro or Pro Max (and above), an iPad Pro 12.9” 4th Gen (and above) or an iPad Pro 11” 2nd Gen (and above). As the app relies on cutting-edge technology, the experience is optimized for lidar-enabled devices, which excel at sensing the depth and contours of a physical space. It will still work on a range of other devices, but results may vary.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Remembering at none against Sundance Now's 2. Remembering also leads on review sentiment (48% vs 15%). Sundance Now's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.1 vs 3.6). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Sundance Now sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Remembering asks for nothing beyond the download.
Sundance Now holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sundance Now has 3.6K ratings behind it against 108, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of Sundance Now's written reviews are positive against 48% of Remembering's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Sundance Now ships an update monthly, Remembering every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
