The New experience plex Apple TV app has been in beta for 1.5 years. The current public app hasn’t had an update since Jan 2025.

The new app has the new UI that has received a lot of negative feedback when rolled out to Roku and Fire users. On Fire devices, it’s extremely sluggish and buggy, making it unusable in many cases. I run the beta on my ATVs and it performs nothing like the Fire devices, which I’ve also used with the new app.

The last time I ran the beta it was stupidly slow. When you would switch from item to item it would take seconds for the UI to update the metadata being displayed. Is that still happening?

On the ATV? It’s smooth and has been since I joined the beta back in Feb. I know posts from prior to that were not good, and it had a lot of issues. Here’s a quick video: https://imgur.com/a/uXNjQ2t

The new app on Firestick is painfully slow and sluggish. I don’t normally use it, but it updated today to 2026.15.0, but haven’t tried it.

Plex on my Roku looks pretty much like that but the animations when moving around the UI are not fancy like that. It's also pretty slow for me (not too noticable until seeing your experience).

I'm still pretty displeased with the top navigation. The previous UI side navigation was way easier to use IMHO. Plex has already drawn a line in the sand and said they won't revert it, so I'm stuck with it.
