Ratings and reviews

for many years I would describe this as a five-star experience but this most recent set of updates has made this app basically unusable. streams crash, it takes forever to start playing, The app no longer properly tracks where in something you are and God help you if you move in or out of Wi-Fi cuz the entire thing crashes out and it'll take 15 minutes to get it working again. Plex used to be a very good product. it would appear to be rapidly deteriorating.

went from a 5-star app built on top of local media options with a few streaming offerings. to a 0-star app with reduced access to local media options that are hard to find, and a plethora of ad-filled media (5 minutes of ads for every 10 minutes of show). removed the ability to hide options you don't use. removed ability to Record to Plex DVR or see upcoming Recordings. totally regret purchasing Lifetime Plex Pass a year ago. back to the drawing board.

The new android app (spring 2025) started off pretty bad, but I'm seeing improvements. Initially it didn't work at all. Now I'm able to reliable watch on my phone. Unfortunately, it can't seem to find anything to cast to. Finally, when opening a library it defaults to "recommended" view. I know what I want to watch but I have to jump through an extra hoop to just see my videos. Plex "recommending" content that I own is absurd and unnecessary.
