I seriously don’t know if you people are on drugs or what. What made you think is monstrosity was better than what it was? It is neither user friendly for those not savvy with apps, nor intuitive for those who are. Seriously you need to reverse this change and fire the entire team that okay’d this u…

That’s what I keep saying. First fire the people that designed this terrible app. But also fire the people above them that looked at it (or didn’t) and thought it was a good idea to force this update.

I just went through something like this with a podcast player I had been using forever. It led me to an open source player that is much better anyway. I think Plex is all in on this “Hot Steaming Garbage” app they’ve turned themselves into. I wonder if they’ll enter into a kind of a death spiral …

I do not have an issue with the update to UI as much as I have an issue with functionality. My OTA recordings are virtually unplayable now. Constant buffering issues, pixilation, etc… I can watch live tv, but God forbid I pause and restart, here comes the pixilation… I have spent three days atte…

they didn’t need to change anything. fire whoever thought this was as good idea.
