Roku New Experience Release Update

To be fair every single time Plex updates a UI they always receive pushback from a number of very vocal users. The very same UI people want back now is the same UI everyone hated 5 years ago in 2020. Updated UX Design for Roku Version 6.6.8 is a step backwards - #5 by JuiceWSA

So if they listen to users all the time they risk never evolving and growing as a company. Some users want Plex to look the way it did in 2015, some want it to look like it did in 2020, and some people don’t mind the new UI in 2025 they just want it to work without crashing and bugs.

And I can’t help but think this move is to compete wit streamers like Netflix. The new Netflix UI people are also really mad about and seems to be very similar to the new Plex UI ‘The new UI is borderline unusable’: Netflix subscribers are still complaining about the app re-design, and I’m 100% with them | TechRadar

Bring back UI skins for all the Plex apps IMO. Plex will solve the vast majority of complaints allowing more user customization. Forcing everyone to use 1 UI doesn’t seem to be the way forward. Everyone wants something that feels familiar, not everyone wants to change UI’s every 5 years or so.
