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…

The new UI sucks… Unless there is an update that will allow the previous version to be enabled it’s time to switch away from Plex. If our TV’s were tablets and in our hands all the time this would not be an issue but navigating this BS with a remote sucks. The old UI was functional the new one requ…

Yes, I experienced this as well. I would like the ability stop a continue watching title ( e.g. a TV series title on my NAS that is there but I happened to pick an episode when trying to figure out what was going on with this release). There are 3 seasons of around 20 episodes that I don’t want to…

What possessed you to do an update that restructured your app in a way that no one asked for and I suspect no one wants. How about having a special option for people to install or go back to the old app. I wonder which one would get the highest number of installs. I’m serious when I say that you ha…

They’re removing our post and our comments. Just because I called them idiotic does not mean that my opinion is not valid. I will NOT be silenced by your money hungry practices. Leaking our passwords and then giving us the worst UI I have ever come across? EVERYONE thinks this is a downgrade. What …

While I agree that the new UI isn’t as user friendly as the old version given time you can have a similar experience. Yes I am still going the wrong way when trying to get to a certain section but given I’m over a certain age I did the same on the old UI also :rofl: I was using the Beta version for …

imagine you are say 60-70 years old. your grandkid setup their server and gave them access to watch all of their old home videos that kid converted to digital and put on plex.. yea, they won’t watch plex or those home videos ever again after such a major UI change. companies forget about the olde…

Honestly, I think the pre-play view of watching a movie or TV show isn’t bad and in some cases looks nicer. The biggest issue is how you navigate to get to that point!

And that right there is the biggest failure of this new experience, navigating it. MONTHS ago they said it wasn’t the best and they had “a lot of eyes on it.” Seems like that was just another lie to get us to be quiet.

made a feature suggestion to revert ui of current app and make a new seperate app for new ui. doubt it will matter but never hurts, add a vote if you like the idea.
