I used to absolutely love Hulu but since the recent update I HATE the app so much and here are the reasons.
1. The interface is terrible. You have to scroll to entirely too many places just to get to something simple unlike how everything used to be simple and right there on the front screen.
2. The watch list has changed to something called my stuff. The problem with this is that my stuff is just a giant list of things that you say you might like. This includes things I like but may or may not have new episodes. Yes I like this show but I dont want it at the top of my list unless there are new episodes for me to watch. This takes me to my 3rd complaint.
3. The watch list used to show new episodes and label them as such. It pushed the new episodes of my watch list to the front making it easy to find. Now with the new version, it shows nothing about an episode being new. I have literally had to make a spreadsheet on my computer of everything that is currently airing and on what day then search through the Hulu app to see if a new episode aired that week which is a huge pain and extremely time consuming.
4. While this is a small complaint its still a problem. The colors of the new app are terrible and make it difficult to see anything. This is especially a problem due to all the insane amount of navigating you have to do to get anywhere in the app.
I wrote this review in the hope that Hulu may actually do something about these problems because I know Im not the one person who feels this way. As I said before I have always loved Hulu but at this point I think it might be worth paying a $100 cable subscription again just to avoid using the new Hulu app.
