Browsing with stream playing is broken
Others here have described in detail that the new format has many issues. I agree with the obvious ones and won't re-tell them here.
Another downstream issue to this update is that it's very clunky to start a stream, and then browse the app for another stream you want to switch to.
Let's say I start a stream from my follow list and then swipe down to minimize it (btw: this STILL makes a picture-in-picture window even when I have this setting off in my IOS settings- I posted about this over a year ago and it still isn't fixed). The app goes back to the home screen so some other random stream starts playing and it pauses the stream that's in the PiP window. If I "play" the PiP stream again then both streams (from the home screen and the PiP window) are playing at the same time. It is just a mess, and it causes the app to freeze all the time. I'm open to updates but we need to retain what we used to have and build on top of that, not completely change how the app works and take away the ways everyone used to use it.

The fact that this update made it out to be tested is pure comedy. It's like nobody over there even launched it before they threw it in our face.
