It’s a little hit and miss for me so far. It looks better and I like that they’ve organized the in-ring section by company, so that all the WCW stuff is together and whatnot. It’s also much easier to find things with search now. I tested out “Shane Helms” since it was giving me such a problem the other night, and the new mode worked much much better.
The superstar pages look great, but I’m not sure they’re working the way they’re supposed to so far. For example if I click on Becky’s, the first couple of suggested episodes are: The WWE List “Most Royal Superstar’s”, Greatest Royal Rumble, The WWE List “Trending Divas”. Which I guess I’m getting because she won a Royal Rumble and is a woman, but she wasn’t involved in the Greatest Royal Rumble at all.
It feels like the cursor moves at a snail’s pace now. It felt like it took for-freaking-ever to put my email and password in with the speed it was moving between leaders. It reminded me a lot of trying to push something in sand.
Also the “Continue Watching” section was way more cluttered now. They added back in things I had watched to completion and successfully removed from the list. Almost everything I had been watching recently was there. Thankfully they added in the option to remove them (I’m on the PS4 version right now), so that’s a help. But when I removed a lot of them at once, it really moved at a crawl. After I had selected all of the shows I wanted to remove and went to move over to the “remove” button, it took about 8 seconds to move from the shows to the button.
A mixed bag based on what I’ve seen, but I’d say a little more that I like that things that I don’t.

The update reached my Apple TV this morning, so I decided to play around with it a bit.
*Voice search is now available! I tried it with a few wrestlers, and you get separate lists of Network shows that person was involved in (individual PPVs, TV shows, original Network programming, and so on). If a bio page is available, you get that, too.
*I know he hasn’t been a valid search term since the Network’s launch, but I just had to see what would happen if I tried “Chris Benoit.” The search returned bio pages for Chris Jericho and Chris Masters and a whole bunch of shows that Benoit was clearly not involved in.
*I’m kinda bummed that the Hidden Gems section is gone; here’s hoping WWE adds it back once the update rolls out completely.
*Looks like WWE gave up on the Collections section, because I’m not finding it anywhere. On the old version, I noticed that they hadn’t added anything new in a while besides changing the New Classic Content folder. It’s a shame that WWE decided not to include them going forward; they were perfect when I didn’t have the time for a whole show and wanted to watch something quick.
*If there’s one thing I prefer about the original version, it’s how you view the schedule for the linear channel. On my iPhone and iPad, I could jump a few days ahead and see what WWE had scheduled; it looks like the new version only lets you see what’s on today.

Don’t like the fact that I can’t skip to the end of a match with a simple click like the old way. Makes it a little hard to see a finish if that’s all your looking for. Unless I missed how to do it on Xbox one

Feels slow as hell on my PS4. Not really digging it so far but I’ll wait for them to work out the kinks.

This is probably something only I don't like, but when doing my alternate broadcast shows, I put closed captioning on. Before this UI update, the captioning was a perfect size, and now it's MONSTROUS. It takes up half the screen (like it was transcribed, not captioned, as I caption videos for a living, and I've captioned a bunch of recent Impact episodes). I don't know if it's because I'm currently watching whatever is on live right now (SummerSlam 2013) or if it will be different for an actual live event. There's also no option to resize it. I'm actually considering asking customer service if there is a way to shrink it.

Thank goodness they got rid of that God awful bumper sound that played at the beginning of every video.
But where are the Hidden Gems? I can't find them. I hope they didn't get removed.

Damn just trying to log in was a pain in the arse.
Im using the the xbox one x version. I have to say it has is the most unresponsive onscreen keyboard I have ever used, they're usually not great anyway but do the job fine for typing in a password, this one is f***ing atrocious. I spent ages trying to remember what my password was, turns out I had it right the first f***ing time all along.
Word of advice, swich on the show password setting, you'll f***ing need it to see what the keyboard has actually registered, will save you a lot of hassle.
Don't even think I want to bother setting it up on the firestick (I'd rather complain than even look through the app, the keyboard is that f***ing awful) though I guess I could use the fire control app on my phone and type the password in on my phones screen.

The only issue I’ve had so far is on my iPhone 7 the app doesn’t fill the screen and so the post 2008 stuff which should be full screen isn’t. It’s all well and good making the picture quality HD if the picture isn’t full screen on post 2008 footage.

Seeing the update now, where is the Vault section? It no longer exists. You have to go In-Ring to find old shows. Also, the different ECW and AWA weekly TV shows are now listed separate from each other instead of mixing them together.

It's a weird experience on my Roku so far. Lot of weird buffering issues, some commentary is in a different language. The app itself just seems to get jammed constantly. It's almost useless now.

I'm liking it so far. The HIdden Gems and vault stuff can apparently be found if you search for the year. It comes up in a "special" section. It'll most likely be fixed soon.
My only gripes so far are A) when I finished an ECW 97 episode, it didn't autoplay the next one and I had to search for it, and B) I can't remove anything from the continue watching section.

I’m having a hard time logging in on my app.
I singed in with my email and it’s telling me only subscribers can view the content. I’m in Canada so I am a subscriber through Bell. How do I sign in unsung my bell account like the old app?

It does look sleeker, but from what I can tell, they somehow made the search function even worse.

My Firestick experience so far:
Logged in fine. Sleaker videos with improved chapter breaks. Now I can find specific promos and such. Some things are better organized, some aren't.
I found 3 hidden gems by searching "hidden gems" but I can't seem to play them.
The livestream gives me an error. Even when I play from beginning. The archives work fine.
The voice search is REALLY nice, but still not specific enough. I can find, say, Hulk Hogan easily, but "Hulk Hogan versus Sting" gets no results. Also? It thinks Bret Hart is "Brett" so that's a problem. The normal remote search keeps autocompleting things with an A for some reason, so you'd better hope your voice remote is on point.
