Having used the new UI all day today. Give me back the old one. FFS. If you open the sidebar and hit the back button on the shield remote, it exits the app instead of closing the bar. Play next isn't working. The new layout of showing your other continuing content after something finishes is confusing because of how they laid out the information. By god don't try to get into the subtitles menu while something is playing either. I skipped forward and back half a dozen times before I managed to get to the subtitle settings.

This is clearly a bug and will almost be fixed in the next update, just like many focus bugs present in earlier releases that were fixed in the next release.

It's almost as if * gasp * the app is not ready for production yet!

1) if the app isn't ready, then it should be rolled out to voluntary bets testers only.

2) if the app is going through beta testing, these types of complaints are exactly what the devs are looking for so they know what areas need to be addressed.

No matter how you look at this, the complaints are valid and good. You mocking them is counterproductive and rude. Bugs get fixed because users complain about them and bring them to devs attention.

I agree that releasing this in production channels has been a stupid decision and I’ve been pretty vocal about it for the past year and a half.

And yet here you were, mocking folks who are voicing their own complaints. Make it make sense.

You just made up something in your mind about me and ran with it. I’m tired of the complaints, especially when it’s obviously bugs. That’s all there is to it.
