I’ve been using Plex for over ten years and OH MY GOD, the roku app has been turned into a pile a garbage! The UI feels like it was organized by someone would can only comprehend a single step ahead of themselves at a time, no more!!
What was the point of the redesign? To make your product as bad as possible? The amount of times I have to spam the back button to go from a movie to get ot the search bar is insane, for one example.
Why get rid of the side bar to shove everthing into a top bar that goes back and forth between you needing to press enter vs waiting a moment for the app to open a panel, it’s idiotic.
REMEMBER KIDS: software can ALWAYS get worse (and it probably will)
I think on a phone the new UI isn’t that bad as you can just touch your screen to change libraries, etc. The problem is it seems Plex doesn’t have a UI designer that understands how a remote works on a large screen!
Oh… I see… Well… The current implementation of TV Mode on Plezy isn’t pleasing to me either. I’m dangerously curious to see what Plex will look like on Android TV. I just hope that they won’t forget to optimize their app for the previous generation of Google Chromecast devices.
Even so, I much preferred the left navigation menu always being a swipe away. Now I always have to stretch to reach the top navigation or set my phone down. Or use two hands to access it. It’s a worse physical experience.
