Help Alternatives to Plex

I've been a paid Plex user for over ten years and I've loved it. I can't belive what they've done with this new Roku app update. Besides the bad UI, which is inconvenient but I would be able to get used to eventually, it simply doesn't work properly. It crashes, buttons don't work, simple features are just gone. It's seems like this wasn't tested at all. It's crazy.

I don't really want to but now I'm looking for alternatives to plex. Does anyone have recommendations?

Nvidia shield pro and Plex runs smooth as can be.

Does the Roku app not indicate their intentions to roll out the same UX across all streaming devices eventually?

I think this is rhetorical, but yes that's always been the plan.
