What's the problem with it?

It has continue watching / recently added movies / tv, watchlist, library right at the front. All works fine for me I don't need anything fancy, and can filter out the extra junk like tidal. I appreciate how simple it is.

I don't know how people could think Netflix possibly has a better UI, I have to scroll multiple rows everytime just to get to my list.

How to enable subtitles in Plex:

Pause playback. Navigate to 3 dots menu. Select streams, select subtitles, pick track, back, Back, resume. 12+ button presses on Roku.

How to shuffle series:

Navigate to series, 3 dots submenu, shuffle is the only item in the menu. Why does the menu exist?

That said, every other app is even dumber than Plex, and to be fair to Plex, it has plenty of great UI features.

You can update the Plex settings so it automatically loads media with the subtitle language you prefer. The navigation is useful if you want to change it to another language from default selection. I only use it to find subtitles online if I have none.

Subtitles are frequently toggled in my house depending on time of day.

My only gripe is wanting to combine libraries from multiple servers, otherwise it's probably the best we got compared to the others.
