The viewing controls when watching a show are fine for me, but everything else is awful.
The UI constantly shuffles around, having to hunt for my list or currently watching shows is particularly annoying.
Incessant autoplay that couldn't be disabled for years, and still can't be in all cases.
Awful controls for browsing content. The categories are meaningless and constantly changing.
There's no way to find new shows I'm likely to like within the app. They refuse to have any sort of objective ratings and the custom ones are unbelievably bad, even after years of watching. I have to go to outside sources any time I want to find a new show.
I could go on. Prime gets a lot of criticism for their UX but I actually much prefer it to Netflix's. At least with Prime the ratings have some signal and the layout is simple and consistent. It's not pretty but at least it doesn't go out of the way to annoy me, which is just fine with me. Amazon has probably spent far less on their UX but has a better result.
