The service for shows and movies is a good alternative to Tubi when you can't find a title on Tubi. But the media server: great design, awful execution. It fails to sync, fails to connect, error codes all over the place, isn't intuitive in the least. Had to uninstall and reinstall it 3 times in the last 2 weeks. The PS3 Media Server I had almost 20 years ago was more reliable.

I do not care about Live TV, On Demand, or Discover. I use Plex ONLY to watch my personal movie and TV library. I paid for a lifetime Plex Pass so I could support Plex without all the extra garbage. At the very least, Plex Pass users should be able to disable the Live TV, On Demand, and Discover buttons on the navigation bar. Also give me the ability to separate my movies & TV shows! This new layout is horrific.

This app used to be 5 star, but now it's absolutely worthless. Too many taps to get to the content you used to be able to navigate to instantly and you'll be doing that multiple times as the app can't hold a reliable stream long enough to get through even a 30 minute show. Multiple errors and disconnects even with a strong quality connection. It's an absolute disaster compared to what it used to be.
