      I have the same complaint! The Customize app row is no longer there and my apps, which were in my customized positions, have now been rearranged automatically! I also hate the new feature that added my antenna stations to the Vizeo WatchFree+... everything is so much slower and more trouble to navigate! I'm about ready to toss this Vizio TV and find a better working brand. Vizio, please fix these annoying problems!!!

    What's mostly annoying is when app ads shows up. Like (trending now) and the ad is at the top. It's laggy trying to get to the apps I tried turning off the ads viewing and other settings that is hidden under extras and the reset options and no luck. You really have no control how you prioritize apps up front.

    Vizio tv's are garbage.
    Bought a v505 for $400 and out of the box the video and audio were out of sync.
    The tv is now 6 months old and the audio keeps going out. You have to reboot the TV to get the audio back.
    Changing between apps, the tv shuts down and won't turn back on. You have to unplug and plug back in to turn on the TV.
    Called tech support and was told they don't have parts for a 6 month old TV. They will ship a USED TV in exchange for the original tv. But first you have to submit your credit card info so they can put a $400 hold (original tv price) on my credit card.
    If they receive your original tv damaged, your credit card will be charged. So basically spending $800 for a used tv.
    It will be your responsibility to recoup your money from the shipping company.
