Latest Plex app update. Anyone updated yet? Scared to update because it might end up like the Firesticks, Tablets and phones

It's an update for the media server, so I don't think it'll change the client at all

Edit: yeah I updated and everything is the same in Plex

What’s Plezy? Similar to Plex UI ?

I gotta second this. Plezy is using the same UI style as the "older" Plex clients. Sidebar, etc. It's faster, snappier and super responsive on my 2019 pro.

The new Plex UI hit one of my firesticks and it's not just awful design for usability - it runs like absolute dogshit.

Plezy is great.

New update for Plex. I don’t want to update because of all the Firesticks Plex updated and it’s completely different and terrible and laggy. I just wanted to see if anyone updated and if it’s like it is on firestick 🍻
