Great app, but new UI seems needlessly complicated
Ive been using Plex on iPhone, Windows, Mac, and Samsung TV for some time now. Being able to view my media regardless of my location, with transcoding adjusted to match my available bandwidth, and down sampling even 1080p content so it plays flawlessly on my iPhone makes this a killer app for me.
These days, PLEX (and increasingly my iPhone) is the only way I watch TV anymore.
This latest UI revamp is very nice, but it has made navigating my media needlessly complicated. Discover vs Browse behaves strangely and unintuitively. Syncing causes an almost endless stream of awful distracting pop-ups in the top edge of the display; and if youre watching something in rotated mode it keeps popping the screen back to unrotated! Annoying!
I have recently been traveling and wanted to avail myself of syncing. It sort of seems to work but I cant tell whats really synced, nor do I thinking seeing accurate status of various synchronized shows. Its a bit of a mess really.
I still love you PLEX, but this new UI needs some real UX attention.
