- Having the Watch List set off so far away from the main choice Home Screen options is just strange. IMHO it should be right by the main choices.
- It also still makes zero sense to me the amount of hoops one has to jump through to play an item on a Watch List that’s already in my Library. Why does Plex still default to try and search for Watch Listed items on other services when I have it in my Library and added it that way? And I have all Online Media Sources completely disabled. The Roku App should function the same way app.plex.tv functions: go to Watch List, click movie / show, it starts playing.

I looked at the app again on Roku, both stable and preview. I don’t know how, but every time I try to use this it just feels more and more insufferably frustrating. There is clearly no UX consideration being given to this. Trying to pick a library from the dropdown is bad enough, but having a SECONDARY dropdown in addition to that is idiotic. Who wants that? It’s like someone didn’t know what to do so they just threw it in there.
The new home page sucks. Why do I only get to see one row of content? It looks like there isn’t anything below because you need to throw a huge image in the top? How is that helpful?
The old layout just worked. I don’t understand why they had to intentionally mess everything up.

On first load, it can be finicky. If it doesn’t load everything on a second or third attempt, you could try to unfavorite and refavorite your libraries in the order in which you wish them to display.
That may or may not be good advice. I can’t keep it all straight anymore.
What I meant is I used to be able to see the tops of the posters for the next row down, indicating there’s more below. Now, the entire row below is completely off the bottom of the screen. It’s just cut off. It looks like there’s nothing there. It makes the entire experience seem limited to just one row. All just so they can have a bigger image taking up the top half of the screen.

But, but that’s their "improvement”…. the drop down double menu…
Awful, isn’t it?
