[Edit 9/19/25] This should also apply to Roku and any other platform that is currently adopting the “top nav” solution. It has been widely criticized now by both mobile and roku users.
The “Browse Libraries” carousel is awkward to use, especially on a tablet. The chin at the bottom is redundant. Both take up far too much screen real estate than is necessary, especially given the increase in poster sizes.
Please remove them and return to the tried and true hamburger menu. Having a pop-out menu in this style would put all of your libraries on the left, easy to scroll and access and only two taps away in any given situation.
Screenshot added for context to illustrate how much screen is wasted on the carousel and chin.
That is correct, a return to the hamburger menu is what many users have been asking for so I figured I’d just start an official request. The hamburger menu is still being used for the settings menu, I see no reason why it wouldn’t make sense to have it for library selection.
Alternatively, an option to choose between the two layouts would work as well.
My apologies if tagging Apple TV was incorrect, I have not seen how the new experience looks there but I assume based on feedback it is similarly laid out. That tag could be removed if unnecessary.
