Neither the old app nor the new app feels like it was written by someone who uses Apple TV.
My pet peeve on the last version was having a carousel movie expand when you pause on it so that it moves things around and hides what you were looking at.
My pet peeve on the new one is a normal swipe on the remote blows through 80% of the carousel items instead of just one.
Neither annoy me as much as Amazon’s hijacking of the touch pad during video so that I can no longer tap the pad to see how far through the movie I am.
I get it, everyone wants their spin on things. But all I want is a usable, consistent experience. It drives me bonkers.
