Hi everyone! First - thank you for your feedback. I, and others all around Plex, have spent the last twenty-four+ hours reading through messages both here, on Reddit, and in other locations. We are still evaluating this broad response, but wanted to get an update out. Let’s get the big question out…

Serious question: does anyone at Plex understand the difference between a TV that requires a remote control and a device that uses a touch screen, along with the differences in making an interface usable for each one? This new UI isn’t great on Android, but trying to use it on Roku is unfathomably w…

On Roku-I noticed that the description of an episode does not show up on the right thumbnail, sometimes it lags behind multiple episodes if you scroll even at a slow pace.

40% off? Really? How about showing your appreciation for your fans by, I don’t know, GIVING THEM WHAT THEY WANT. You know, like left side navigation? Or watch together? Or a complete rollback of the Roku app? Anything else isn’t appreciation, it is insulting.

You should see the google play store, where to anyone giving a bad review they respond to their review with “come and speak to support on our forums” like they’re actually listening.

So it has been a while and decided to see what are the answers from Plex to all the complaints… Waste of time. That absolutely unfriendly, annoying and whatever negative superlatives you want to use, top bar will remain there. I decreased my use of Plex a lot as I really hate that UI and now wait f…

Has the Roku experience actually been fixed in any meaningful way? In my case NOTHING WORKS, still. ■■■■ your 40% discount and go fix your royal ■■■■ up.

Thank you Plex for the vertical Library listing. Left side would be nicer, but this beats the hell out of the horizontal scroll.

I agree, this new UI is terrible and virtually unusable. I have been a lifetime Plex user for over a decade and this is by far the worst I’ve seen. Please allow us to revert back.
