Terrible Interface

So I know there’s a lot of power and potential in this product but I can’t get over how bad the interface is. I have to wonder if there aren’t add-ons or just information that can make this a much better experience. Out of the box (Kodi 16.1 on Android with TV Add-on) is frustrating and unnecessarily difficult to use. I’m a computer technician by trade and not new to this world but I just can’t make this product work well for me.

I’ve looked through the forum but can’t find answers – I have a couple of questions if anyone has the time to answer:
* Can you tag movies and TV shows to return to easily? I’ve tried a couple of add-ons but nothing seems to work – do you really have to search for a move all over again and start buffering all over again every time your device goes to sleep?
* Is there any way to pre-queue a movie or TV show so you don’t have to sit and wait for it to buffer – and then watch the device timeout and have to start all over again?

I have many others, but these are the big ones. I’m not sure the add-ons could be any more difficult to work with!

Thanks.
