I love Plex, but the new app is absolutely miserable. The interface is needlessly convoluted (way too many clicks to get to what I want to watch, and having the episodes as a side-scrolling menu instead of a list is absurd) and I can't seem to get subtitles to work anymore. I had to turn some features off on desktop to make the app cleaner because the shortcuts aren't customizable. I don't know why this is the design they settled on. PLEASE at the very least make the legacy app an option.

I don't usually rate apps unless something has gone horribly wrong and it's the case with the new update. Everything is so slow to load, it's unintuitive and super hard to find the most basic functionality you want to use from plex (i.e. continue watching and recently added). Most importantly, how do you break casting altogether, the single most important feature on the app?

new version removes features total bummer!!! the new Plex experience is like the old plex experience just missing lots of features. Want to listen to music? now you have to have a separate app and apparently there's no way to go back to the good old days. time to go hunting for an alternative, definitely a bummer after a decade long user.
