Bought a more expensive streaming device so I could enjoy an ad-free experience. Guess what? ADS. At least it's pretty easy to add new apps to the tv, but it's frustrating that I paid full price for a device and Google gets to keep profiting. I've been able to block the Ad sources, but the banner still advertises Google Play, Youtube, etc. Why can't it show me the content I own and care about?

All ads and no way to disable them. Customizing still keeps ads in prominent places and constantly asks you to customize and add more if you opt for none. The flow of the UI is tremendously degraded by making unfavorited apps take several button presses to access instead of an easy way to open previously installed apps from the home screen. All of these changes are blatantly seeking to monetize a product with no regard for usability or the users. Atrocious would be too generous.
