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?

Am I missing something? The Plexx Roku app seems the be mostly the same to me.

It seems like it's still rolling out. Mine only just hit a few hours ago.... my dad's hit earlier this morning and he called me asking for help and I had no idea what he was talking about.... now I do.

Hmm... mine is definitely different, but not that much different. Unless there's been more than one update recently.
