Not like this is a new comment, but holy crap this new Plex app on iOS is atrocious. How do we go back to the old version? I’m about to delete this from my phone all together. EDIT: I just found this [ Downgrade to old iOS Version and turn off updates only for Plex - Howto! - no jailbreak required ] …

I agree. I was watching a show and I had to put it down to take care of something else (about 5 minutes) and the app auto updated while I was gone. Absolutely ridiculous looking, the three “Libraries” (LiveTV, On Demand and Discover) that I auto-hide on any new Plex device are front and center. I wa…

And apparently you need a Windows computer which I don’t own… so now I have to mess around with a VM… This might be one of the worst app updates I’ve ever seen. I’m actually shocked. Hard for me to keep recommending Plex to people if they go from great design to terrible design like this. In fact, …

I own a Windows PC, but will be away from my server until roughly May. Maybe I can get one of the alternatives to work on my PC through my remote access but it is such a pain. This is definitely a good reason for me to start searching for other options.

FYI, that doesn’t work from the Libraries menu. There’s a bug there. Also that is very not intuitive that you have to long press a “tab” button that’s meant to take you to another section in order to re-order something on the current “tab.” Demerit to whoever had that idea. :sweat_smile: Here are m…

Agree it is total atrocious. Also freezes and guide is only showing half page. Very very slow. Can’t find where I can see scheduled and recorded program list. Layout is terrible not logical or easy to find, looks like it was done by a 10 year old with a box of crayons. I do like the ability to …

I’m gonna sit with this thing for a bit… but the list of issues is already so long, I might have to charge someone for my time to write it all up. :sweat_smile:
