I have a legitimate reason. Whoever designed their app ui (iPhone, not sure if android is the same) needs to be fired. It’s horrible to use.

  It's bad on all of them. They made stuff you want to do often (like see previous episodes of a season) take multiple clicks just so they could fill the page with images. That's especially annoying on a non-touchscreen device like Roku. It's visually appealing but could be much more functional while retaining much of that. Netflix is more functional in some regards but I still feel overwhelmed by the selection with no way to sort through it that makes sense to me. They have so many shows, so many nonsensical ways to categorize the show, and no ratings anymore to tell me whether it's worth it. They often move things around in nonsensical fashion (my biggest complaint is that "continue watching" is sometimes at the top, where it should be because it's almost always what you want, but then sometimes several rows down, with no discernible pattern.) But once you get into your show it's better.

  It's consistently the worst app on any set top box platform(android, firetv, apple tv, roku, anything) which is REALLY saying something as there's some super awful ones out there like HBO Go. It refuses to play nice with, for example, voice search on firetv even after _years_(it's officially supported, but breaks almost every time) It's a laggy junky mess and is plain-faced awful compared to the vast majority of the competition. It looks pretty when you're not interacting with it at all, and i'm sure that sold this "cool cutting edge UI" as powerpoint slides in some big design by committee meeting.
