I love the Vision Pro, it’s great for productivity and for watching movies and shows. Recently I got paramount+ to watch Star Trek strange new worlds specifically on the Vision Pro, and it is the worst UX I’ve ever experienced. The amazon prime app on Vision Pro is just the iPad app but that’s magnitudes better than paramounts. This isn’t even a problem that is inherent to how the ui in the Vision Pro is, it’s just poorly designed from a basic standpoint.

For one, the app does not surface shows you are currently watching or have currently watched. When you load the app it just displays most popular and some recommended shows, recommendations that don’t seem to be based on what you’ve watch by the way. If you want a show to be really accessed you can add them to your list. Ok that’s a fix, not great but now your show is 2 clicks away.

The second problem is much more frustrating. So now you’ve started your show, the episode ends and the app doesn’t have an option to jump to the next episode. It just ends the show and kicks you back to the home menu. So you have to go to your list select your show, and because the app doesn’t surface your recently watched episode or even recommend the next chronological episode. You have to go into the menu go through seasons and find the episode you were on. Hopefully you remember the episode number or name, because now you have to read the summaries to figure out which one was the last episode you watched.

First world problems, I know, but This is basic ui/ux that every streaming app in and outside of the Apple Vision Pro does. I am certain that this is not an issue on the iPad app or the web interface, because I’m sure I would have heard about it online by now. It feels like either paramount gave the development of the Vision Pro app to an intern with a stringent deadline or they intentionally made the ux antagonistic to the user. Why would they do either of those things? I don’t know, but one thing film studios seem to lack in great abundance is common sense and reasoning skills. I probably shouldn’t be surprised, this is the studio that burdened us with “Indiana jones and the dial of destiny” as well as the “tomorrow war”, after all.

Anyways, that’s my irrelevant rant.
