Please note that this is a bug report not a feature request.
The latest update 1.39.0 has broken the MENU behaviour on AppleTV.
The Remote MENU hard button no longer opens the Zwift MENU.
This is a bug. Every other AppleTV app will open the menu when the Remote MENU button is pressed.
The Remote MENU button now opens an on-screen MENU icon, that needs to be activated with the Remote touch-slide-button. This is bad user interface. Who thought of this?
The MENU onscreen icon steals focus and prevents other screen icons from being activated. I.e. PowerUP icon can’t be selected using Remote control.
Just revert to previous behaviour found in 1:38.x, please.
You’ve posted in feature requests as opposed to bugs or even on the game update thread. Hopefully one of the mods can move it.
Same problem here, can’t use power ups with Apple TV remote and companion app isn’t working at the moment either, so I have no way of using power ups right now.
This used to work just fine with a swipe up on my Apple TV remote.

Tested now with 1.40.0, the same broken behaviour is still there.
The Remote MENU hard button no longer opens the Zwift MENU. This is a bug. Every other AppleTV app will open the app’s menu when the Remote MENU button is pressed.
The Remote MENU [ < ] button now opens an on-screen MENU icon, that needs to be activated by a second click with the Remote touch-slide-button.
This is terrible user interface design. Who thought of this?
The MENU icon is just a pointless interstitial. It adds nothing, there are no options available, and it just prevents the user getting direct access to the menu by adding an extra click of a different button.
The MENU icon does not have timed retraction, so it sits on-screen causing screen burn-in as long as the rider is stationary. This needs to be fixed urgently.
The MENU behaviour in 1.34.x and all the time previously the AppleTV has been correct. Why change it now???

Still the same broken behaviour with 1.41.0.
The Remote MENU [<] hard button no longer opens the Zwift MENU. This is a bug.
Every other AppleTV app will open the app’s menu when the Remote MENU [<] button is pressed, and not some pointless interstitial button that requires a second click to get to where you want.

Zwift support have stated that the pointless interstitial MENU icon is intended interface design.
If you agree that adding this pointless interstitial icon is poor user interface design and wish to return to the 1.34 and previous behaviour, then up vote this issue.
Previously, the remote MENU [<] button opened the Zwift menu with one click, as you’d expect.
