Your media has never looked this goodWelcome to Plex Plex in a nutshell is a media platform that runs on Macs, PCs and Linux that is capable of organizing your media so that it can ...

I love Plex and it s really useful but this app is atrocious If it doesn t get stuck in a loading loop it s playing the video in a tiny portion of the screen If it s not doing that then it s forgetting how to sync files leaving an annoying notification on my phone all day If it s not doing that then it s forgetting how to order my TV libraries All to access a service I m paying for on my own hardware The UI is slow and unintuitive too I m running out of space now but you get the point         Michael D
This Plex app and the Plex server are especially useful as Google is doing away with Google Music I want control over my music and I don t want to listen to ads Very happy with this app I like its functionality I also like how they price their features Very reasonable for 5 to activate a single device and still play music off your server for free If this product becomes a mainstay I will likely upgrade                     Sean M
This app and Plex itself used to be great I love the features and the simplicity but it seems that either the developer has lost their minds or everyone else besides me has decided that Plex should be used for everything else first and a home media server library player last E g podcasts web channels music photo camera rolls and Live TV and DVR Plex is now a bloated and infuriating app to use for this reason and I can no longer recommend it     Brandon Ostrom
I normally love Plex it s an amazing app when it works The latest updates have caused the app to crash almost immediately on several of my devices Pixel 2 Samsung Galaxy S2 Tablet Fire Tv Stick and Fire TV Cube Something is seriously wrong with the app as it stands now Please fix this devs Edit After trying all sorts of random troubleshooting I left a server that a family member was sharing with me this immediately solved my issues Users remember to update your servers regularly                     Benjamin Jacobs
until plex can fix there cache issue 3 stars cached songs still use data app will crash and songs will pause during playback slightly different when on wifi but do not experience any of this issue only when on cellular network plex you have my info if you need logs contact me update 8 1 still the same issues 9 20 still using cellular data when using offline data Why FIX the Caching issue     Norman Thompson, Jr
Still has serious issues with synchronising to your phone There are so many times when it refuses to transcode the video you have selected to synchronise and the video just sits there in the queue saying pending It seems to be because Plex thinks it s already been downloaded or something The only solution is to completely log out and log back in again and force it to refresh everything Clearing the cache has no effect Not really great usability though             Joss Stehbens
Disappointed with forced payment to use I used to use this app on ipod touch and loved it Great app to organize and play media content from my computer I have used it on my ipod and tv and have thoroughly enjoyed the app Downloaded this for android as I switched smart phones and now they want me to pay to unlock something that is TOTALLY FREE on iOS I am very disappointed with this tactic forcing you to pay when they have other means of collecting money through their subscription service     Brian Klimm
August 7th 2019 update caused app to just sit in not connected state App will attempt to connect for 3 to 5 seconds then say not available right now Red Offline banner next to my media despite being connected Paid for a product I m not receiving App worked semi ok before update Always says offline and loses placement in media forcing a reboot between sessions That I could deal with Agree with others too many clicks Inception like UI Still not working 9 22     Unknownfirstname Somelastname
I have been using plex since it was xbmc I have plex servers that house my movies TV shows music and photos Over the past year or so as the developers have been focusing on adding more and more paid content features the software has been getting more and more unstable bugs have made the plex app next to unusable Media randomly freezes during playback app crashes without provocation odd behaviour ensues And plex tech isn t working on these issues they are too busy adding new feaures     Morgan Mcintire
This app is so clunky it s like watching tv with grandma when she won t give up the remote The android app is terrible Whomever programmed your features has never listened to podcasts It does not sync to the fire tv The navigation there is even worse than on the phone because now you re moving through terrible click flow while also working with a simple X direction input I rage quit after an hour getting ONE podcast to my current listening progress No way it s worth the money to subscribe     Kat
Signed up for Plex Pass and pretty impressed I m sure everyone s already talked about the great interface and usability so I ll comment on my top 3 Like how I can sync to mobile remote access via Fire Stick or android TV minimal use of system resources Only thing I would improve is the ability to sync a specific version of a video as I have titles that are both 3D and HD and it defaults to syncing the first item on the list Other than that nice work u0026 thanks for the constant updates                 Jeff Mack
One upon a time I recommended this app but the folks at plex seem to have forgotten that they are competing with totally free rival services This app is really a paid 6 app that locks you out of any useful features until you pay Devs should be ashamed of themselves for gouging their user base Guess this is why plex stopped growing round 2015 and hasn t added a new feature in about as long Just set up owncloud and any music player and ditch this waste of money     Frankie Wren
This app has a serious fault with audio playback when headphones are plugged in With movies there is no audio but with music there is an horrific static hissing noise at full volume Without headphones audio playback is fine This app I paid money for is currently useless as it s unusable     Farid Robertson
Recently a firmware update from Google to its chrome cast audio has stopped Plex from working with affected chrome cast audio units Some Plex developers have made a few comments on support forums but apart from that Plex will not answer queries Poor customer service and the product does not work for what I was using it for     Tony Tusk
Well at best this is mediocre if you are using it for audio No gapless playback Chromecast is buggy The app is very self righteous it likes to show you stuff it thinks you ll want such as sonos upgrade which makes it quite cluttery Also it cost money which it isn t worth at least on the audio NAS side         Greg Frohring
Garbage application at this time can t dectect my server Even when it is detected the player throws me an error message even though the video is already playing I had na old pirated version that worked better than this I can t believe I spent money on this         Justus s
It continues to be worse and worse I updated account pictures of about 5 accounts but none of the pictures show up on android app only iOS works fine so does web app and desktop app Individual photo upload is also not possible still Like WHY NOT Fix it guys common i paid 120 to be plex pass user but not for broken apps Edit The new update fixed the icons issue Thank you                     Anar Joshi
Not happy about current changes and the fact there more worried about tidal then changes that need to be made like channel support in live tv as in the channel cap Streaming outside the home is gone down the drain It s not on my end other software like plex dont have this issue     lavafluxx x
no support glitchy app at best don t waste your money it s a rip off latest update sept 10 crashes almost every time unusable not fit for purpose where s the sales of goods act when you need it oh and the tv epg needs soting too     j ebll
The app steadily gets worse and worse as time goes on camera upload doesn t work 50 of the time and now casting is so broken I can t stop It drains my battery like crazy It s like Plex has given up on its app development     Wilhuff
Interface is now awful I cannot browse the libraries on my server This makes the app literally useless for me the only way to find content on my server is to search for it Apparently Plex wants me to find another media server     Kevin White
Unreliable when streaming video outside home I have been at the gym using wifi and it will just stop working randomly on the app Also the app seems to crash randomly and struggle with going through menus Running a Samsung S10E         Jackie Gibbs
Used to be my go to app for entertainment but now it just buffers all the time Never had a problem in the past until I updated my plex server Followed all the instructions on their site for troubleshooting     Alexander Frankish
This app won t find the Plex server most of the time I have read tons of posts in Plex forums and many people have the same problem It is a nice app when it rarely works though     Adrian Cornejo
Plex almost blew out my ears Had to see a doctor No joke After an update one day I put in my headphones and I get static noise that s blasting Like the highest volume level it can get Who do I blame Android Plex Samsung     Ethan Tabor
Not currently not able to cast with synced files on Android 10 So haven t been able to use the app for the past few weeks Will update back to 5 stars when it s fixed                     Chris Fried
I install this app b cos it s provided free in WD home cloud But the app can never play an audio song for more than a minute and it will jump out I think it should be unlink from WD     Dexter Liao
Riddled with problems from syncing to freezing Sometimes works The problems have existed for so long I m pretty sure no one cares         Chris Romp
Was a 5 star app for me until the last update or two 1 They removed the ability to change the playback speed I listen to audiobooks and talk shows at a faster speed but now I cannot with Plex 2 They changed the behavior of playback resume after making or receiving calls Before playback would resume after and calls were made missed or answered Now even missed calls stop playback We should have the options to control this I liked the always resume especially while driving     Craig Nelson
Every film I watch via plex on my phone is mute I have to switch the quality settings and then it works but then the quality is awful         HRH
The app is good It works But there are couple of really big features missing Ability to disable direct play This feature makes plex on android tv box useless There is a severe audio sync issue because of it i did disable it on an older app on smart tv and it solved the issue But i can t disable it on the TV box Second less important but annoying There is no ability to go back to android mod from tv mod without reinstalling the app             Kevin Evans
Plex is flat out the easiest way to move media around the house in a device independent manner                     Joshua Turner
The app used to work like a charm But is has gotten much worse ever since the new interface has been introduced Now I experience connection drops followed soon with skips that are as big as the time the buffering took What is even worse though when I go back 10 seconds I sometimes get the content from a different episode of the series I m watching How is that even possible The web player works almost flawlessly         Peter Goddijn
The app is great except that it doesn t work And that s the problem I paid the activation which is necessary but it doesn t show my videos That means I have all the videos on one Channel but in the app I can only see my recently added videos 10 406 not the libraries And to all my respect this nice little selection is not what I would expect for more than 4 The desktop interface is far better it costs nothing and has more features like downloading videos u0026 modifying settings         Maximilian Bongers
So I m in and out of a truck over 100 times a day So the ability to out audio books onto a plex server is very useful Until recently I would have classified the app as moderately glitchy but now I would say it complete garbage Before when I would be listening to a book anything but recieving a text or email would cause the app to start freezing up and utimately shutdown and fail the playback Using the slider bar you could get back to your spot but now you cant even do that     Peter Ebert
App works great for casting from my PC to a chromecast but is unable to play directly from my PC to my phone anymore have Plex Pass Videos just sit loading eventually the app freezes and android gives the option to kill it Using other video players I am able to play directly from my PC without a problem onky rcently experienced this issue         Jordan Hakes
app was great until several months ago now even though i paid for the app on my phone after every update i have issues where it says i need to activate it again i already paid for it i log in and my credentials are accepted but it still says it s not active happens after every single update sometimes it resolves itself but I ve mostly stopped using the app on my phone as a result I ve also had the server offline error other users have mentioned         Kay Aspasia
The plex app is amazing when it wants to work I am using the galaxy s10 and Randomly when I want to go to my playlists or choose one of the few options to sort my music it will with out fail crash consistently Syncing music is completely worthless due to the very lackluster or non existent buffering caching makes it feel as if I haven t downloaded it in the first place         cam burt
Great app lifetime subscription use it to cast movies or shows to all my TV s or tablets in my house Fantastic                     wilson chong
