Plex: Stream Movies & TV App Reviews

Very nice

Im loving it.!

Love plex

To get full features you have to subscribe to the plex service. I rarely spend money on apps because there are usually free ones that do good enough. However, after a couple months of using plex I went ahead and paid for a lifetime subscription. They have done a great job with the plex family of apps. iPhone sync is still slow for me but I can live with it. I just sync to google drive and view from there. Keep up the good work guys.

Pretty much the only media player I use

I honestly cannot say enough good things about this app. I use it for pretty much all my streaming needs. PLEX in a single word is AMAZING! Keep up the great work peeps!

Very nearly perfect

Plex is what iTunes and iOS Music should have been. I loaded the server on my 2008 MacBook full of all my music, and Im syncing music beautifully with my iPhone 5. It works well on that old computer, my aging phone, and with Bluetooth connects to my car. When I want to add something to my library, I can do it from my phone on any wifi, or off wifi I can queue it to sync later. It works, and it isnt bloated. Im really happy with Plex.

So far so good!

So far this app has worked well for me. Ive had a few problems with background synchronization halting until I resume the app, but I dont think thats something Plex has complete control over.

No Family Support !!

Functionality wise, performance, etc ... I would have spend the time to write about it. BUT Why force users to purchase the app for every family member under the same family plan? With iOS, one of the great advantages is that if an app is purchased it can be used on every family member device. But not here ... do you really think I will be purchasing the same SW for my Apple TV and 3 kids ?!? So you took my money, but you lost hundreds of potential customers ! If you guys have anyone who truly understand SaaS business, do yourself a BIG favor and let him prioritize such fix to your app.

Great app, but new UI seems needlessly complicated

Ive been using Plex on iPhone, Windows, Mac, and Samsung TV for some time now. Being able to view my media regardless of my location, with transcoding adjusted to match my available bandwidth, and down sampling even 1080p content so it plays flawlessly on my iPhone makes this a killer app for me. These days, PLEX (and increasingly my iPhone) is the only way I watch TV anymore. This latest UI revamp is very nice, but it has made navigating my media needlessly complicated. Discover vs Browse behaves strangely and unintuitively. Syncing causes an almost endless stream of awful distracting pop-ups in the top edge of the display; and if youre watching something in rotated mode it keeps popping the screen back to unrotated! Annoying! I have recently been traveling and wanted to avail myself of syncing. It sort of seems to work but I cant tell whats really synced, nor do I thinking seeing accurate status of various synchronized shows. Its a bit of a mess really. I still love you PLEX, but this new UI needs some real UX attention.

All I Need

Best app ever, i can have all my Media where ever i go and i dont have to store them on my phone . Great streaming quality too . Thanks so much .

Very happy

Very happy with the ability to stream all my media any where either in my home or out on the road. The only thing I wish is the music would read my meta data comments that I have inputd with iTunes so I can make playlists from the comments.

Great for those who have hundreds of movies and tv shows and need them on the go!

Nice app easy to set up and great features when you sign up for the monthly plan. Its a free app but for the extra features its totally worth it. I have my own Netflix now lol, with only the movies I love and the tv shows I actually watch on the go!

Crap

Doesnt load photos or videos. Hangs up. Poor streaming. Worthless unless you like aggravation.

App works great.

Excellent media app, but only if you have enough content to load it up with. Never had any issues with it crashing or hanging up. Took a little getting used to with the interface but I still really enjoy it.

Completely useless as companion app... dont download

This like most all of Plexs recent releases is broken I would reserve paying any money for any of their apps or plexpass membership til they get their house in order, check their forums.. one release disaster after another... The ios remote function required to run the front end no longer connects to clients DO NOT UPGRADE Plex has NO quality control and it relies on the TESTING DONE BY ITS PAYING PLEX PASS clients Lately they are ignoring us too.. there is no quality control at Plex right now.. each release is worse than the one before You have been warned

Activation is per device and not per account!

That means I have to shell out $5 for every device I own! Thats GARBAGE! BASURA! ONE STAR!!!

New version doesnt work with RASPLEX

Newest version broke rasplex support. Can no longer use the app to slide to where you want to play the video. Can only use play and pause

Bad update

Do not update if you use pht or openpht

Worthless

Locked out unless you pay for subscription! Cannot view my own from my own server at home. Horrible I have to use desktop web interface on a phone with NO ALTERNATIVE. Waste of time!

It just works

Ive tired other media servers and viewer combinations, Plex just works. It plays everything flawlessly. Its great I just cant say enough great things about it. The Apple TV UI is a little odd but it still functions perfect. Its great.

Keeps getting better and better

I love plex. Some user interface decisions I dont agree with but it works well for what it is.

Current version breaks remote control function

Current version breaks remote control function Do not update to 4.4.1
