Feedback on the new video app (Plex . . . revised) for iOS devices (iPad)

Again, I do not mind having to use three different apps to stream my content. Just, please, make it simple, allow me to declutter the interface, make it reliable. I do appreciate you efforts to deliver on this.

Observations . . .

When I open this new Plex on my iPad, I always have to select the user. Why? There is only one user: me.

When I open it fresh, the app always takes me to this new Home Page tab. If I open it (being already opened but not closed down) it takes me to the Libraries tab. I would prefer that it always takes me directly to the Libraries tab.

The Home Page tab is of no value to me 99% of the time. I do not use Plex to watch 3rd party content, and do not anticipate that I ever will. This is ostensibly just a marketing ploy to generate revenues for you. I have no problem with you seeking revenues, but this Home Page tab is a cluttered, useless mess. Please slow me to skip this.

There are 4 tabs on the main screen: Home Page, Libraries, Live TV and Discover. Of these, my only interest is Libraries. The other three are cluttery, sales-oriented distractions. Put them there, if you must, but please allow me to skip them and to go quickly to the Libraries.

Once I am on the Libraries tab, it all seems good. I can start content quickly. I can change to a different library easily. So far, this is all good.

My needs are simple. 1. Open app. 2. Select library. 3. Select specific content (always albums). 4. Stream to my devices: TVs, iPad, PC. 4) Share selected libraries with friends.

This is close, I think. Please simplify for those of us not interested in all this 3rd party content. (Most of it seems old discount rack stuff anyway.)

To start to set up your New iPad UI. Go to your Server Settings/ Online Media sources and Disable.

If you wish to add Tv Shows and Movies etc to Home page. At bottom of screen tap Libraries, on this page top left Long Press on that Library heading, create your. then All Libraries add your Favorite Libraries. previous page Reorder your Libraries.

There is currently no way of removing LiveTv

cheers
