I have a 2017 pro model and never had a problem. Only complaint is when they updated the interface a while ago with a shit ton of ads you could not turn off. Which really pissed me off because it is a $120 device. Not some $30 Roku that you expect to have ads on.
But it took me less than 10 minutes to install and setup a different launcher. Now I have a nice clean ad free interface.

I was thinking the same, and followed the same custom launcher route. Now it’s actually better than stock.
Wow I didn’t even know you could use a custom launcher on it. Which one would you recommend?
I like Projectivity since the free version has everything I need and it can intercept home button presses so it always loads that launcher.
I’ve heard that people also like FLauncher. It’s open source, but takes a bit more to get it going.
I use Sideload Channel Launcher 3. It’s a nice clean interface.
