New HULU on AppleTV (1 Viewer)

Does anyone here like the new HULU app for the Apple TV?

I personally hate it. Much harder to navigate than the previous version.

Yeah, they re-did it for all platforms with the introduction of their Hulu Live service. It's visually very appealing, but using it is another matter. Not a fan.

Absolutely hate it and I've barley touched the app since they released it. When companies redesign things like this do they test it out at all? If they did then they would have known how horrible it is to use after 5 minutes. Who cares if it looks pretty when you can't find what you want to watch.

Although I have to add that on my Apple TV I never use these apps at all (including HBO and Showtime) - they are all hidden in a folder. I use the "TV" app to find and watch all my content.

I hate it too. It's a complete usability disaster.

I will give them props for finally adding an option to turn off auto-play in the past week. Raises it from an "F" to a "D-".
