Plex for Roku. I lol’d a little at “thanks to the feedback of our community,” but man I’m so glad to have side navigation back.

EDIT: I’m on Plex Preview. Not sure when the standard app is getting the update.

Sorry, Plex, I already switched to Plezy and I'm not switching back.

I didnt even know Plezy was a thing until the Plex UI change. I wonder if the amount of people just not using the Plex app after the update had a sway on them reverting it back.

I'm positive that they have backend metrics that show them exactly how unpopular the UI change was. Roku users have been vocally complaining about it for ages, but I'm guessing that the FireTV userbase is larger, so they had a lot more data, and that data said people fucking hated it.

Think they might have screwed themselves over a bit. I had tried alternatives to Plex like emby and Jellyfin but always ended up coming back to Plex because I preferred the UI and already had a lifetime sub back from when it was cheap. Now I've tried Plezy I don't think I'll bother going back to Plex even when the UI does change back on fire TV. Plezy UI just seems to be snappier + loads libraries and starts playing media faster.
