How To Disable 'Nag-Ware' - Plex Android Mobile?

Congratulations are in order!

While not at all surprised, you Plex guys have reached new heights in annoying your users while destroying your own apps with your zeal to 'over-develop' everything you touch.

An update was available for my Droid Mobile Plex App, so foolishly I activated it. Now I've got the 'Nag-Ware' pane at the bottom for anything I have in progress or what you have decided I should watch next. What happened to my ability to select what I want to watch next? Oh... right... that's not important on Planet Plex. What is important is developing for the sake of development.

Plex's Motto: "We develop because we can".

Do you know what happens when you create a 'Nag-Pane' at the bottom of a Mobile App? If I leave an episode in progress, making a choice to watch something else (a difficult concept for Plex Developers, but do try to follow along), I now have a Giant 'Continue Watching' window at the top and a smaller, but no less intrusive 'Nag-Pane' at the bottom FOR THE SAME EFFING EPISODE. Let's see... on my mobile device if I hold it vertically that gives me about 3 inches of total usable space and now half of that is eaten alive by the Plex Development Team, leaving only a slit in the middle in which to attempt to find anything in my libraries while trying to dodge and weave around The Plex Development Team's zeal to make all my choices for me!

It's like trying to watch a baseball game through a knothole in the effing fence or pick something out of my library to watch while peering through the view slit in a Sherman Tank!

God forbid I should turn my device horizontally - THERE'S NOTHING LEFT! CONTINUE WATCHING AND NAG-PANE! THAT'S IT! No hint of my library remains. Only Plex Development's choices. No vestige of personal choice remains.

Add to that, if I am finally able to pick something to watch it's surrounded by more NAG-WARE warning me about what Plex has decided to show me next.

In a perfect Plex world I suppose all your subjects would just be duct taped to a table with their eyelids removed - while Plex just picks items out of our libraries and plays them for us.

Heil Plex!

WTF is wrong with you guys?
