The new experience is the worst update in modern history. Did you consult a human when designing this trash or just vibe coded with Claude? How can I get the old experience back - you know the one that actually worked on a TV without having to hit up 1,000 times to get back to the menu or to be abl…

I just want to add my voice to this sentiment. Why has Plex team changed things? The new interface is slow, ugly and utterly appalling. I used to have the simplified interface without the extra massive tab showing me extra information I do not need. This option doesn’t seem to be available? Why not?…

I have downloader already, what number do I search to get the old plex app?

I’m not aware of a code someone is hosting it under. Just copy and paste the URL from a source.

I believe it. They fired the last guy who responded to me.

Someone created a Downloader code - 9435316

This just got forced on my fire sticks. This is awful. Hot garage that crashes and is the opposite of intuitive. Pear bring back the old app with usus having to side load.

It’s terrible indeed Firestick version is almost unusable now where and how do we sideload older version of plex safely (don’t want to grab on shady sites)

New experience is slow and clunky. This should be an opt-in experience and not forced on all your users.

How do I get the old experience back?

This new Roku Preview looks really weird with the menu on on the left.

Almost all streaming Apps use a Top Menu Bar. This new update is a step backwards, especially after we’ve had a year to adjust to the Top Menu
