This app SUCKS. It is no where near as good as previous version. I have lost the option to stream at a automatic lower rate. I can not fast forward by double clicking on the screen. I can not find the setting options that I used to use easily. PLEASE bring back the previous version. […]
Reviews for Plex: Stream Movies & TV
β Back to Plex: Stream Movies & TV20 reviews
New updates and app look and feel, Resurrected bugs from a couple years ago. Nice job, plex. None of the images load anymore, like it used to not work, and they block access in weird ways on VPN, some stuff works, some stuff doesn’t, and then always shows that you’re offline, even though you’re not, […]
app update not good. too many missing features. I can’t update access to shares. that was very helpful to people that run servers. not many people carry a laptop around with them. I travel a lot, now I have to take out a laptop, log into the server, go through the menu, etc just to […]
Plex is overall great. However their new UI completely changes how to navigate their app and I am not a fan of change. I have to use 2 buttons to see all of my libraries instead of just one. that doesn’t seem like much, but when I am looking through 5 libraries for an item […]
The Android TV app, in particular, is nearly unusable. Navigating through content? Not without stuttering. Want to watch an episode? Not without backing out several times to try to convince it to connect. Change playback settings? Not without a crash or three. Casting won’t work without much coaxing, and the cherry on top is when […]
I’ve loved it before (5π), but lately, every time they drop a new version lately, it causes issues. The most recent version (of Desktop Server) drops my remote access constantly, which makes the app useless. Yes, I know that’s the desktop program and not the app, but what good is the app without the server […]
WOW, am I ever tired of the ads! Every time I have to leave the app to send a text or anything, I come back and am IMMEDIATELY given an ad that’s minimum of 150 seconds. Every time. Doesn’t matter if I just had a 150 second ad, if I leave the app a minute […]
Since no official support options exist, we must avail ourselves of the tried-and-true “post bad reviews” option, I guess! The Android Plex client UI is fine but streaming is largely busted. Performance on the same LAN as a client is OK but simply doesn’t work when accessing over the internet. The same setup works on […]
I have used plex for almost 10 years, and the latest update has killed the app. It doesn’t open after profile selection, it just spins and spins. I have tried it on my phone (Note10+) and my wife’s (Note10+) and it is the same on both. The app for my Amazon Fire tablet works fine. […]
I was very excited about this appt at first , because I found a bunch of TV movies and shows I watched, so I added them to my watchlists. but as I went to watch them it wouldn’t let me, because it wasn’t showing on any station or app. so I guess I don’t understand […]
Recent app update has introduced menu options for things like On-Demand, Live TV, and Discover…. None of these options can be disabled or hidden. Not great when you’re trying to ensure children only have access to the content that you’ve vetted. Not to mention, I don’t want to use those options myself. Update: previous issue […]
every time you pause and hit play, it crashes. if you put it as a PIP on top of other apps and open it back up, all of the controls go away. most of the time when you select any movie or show, it will say not found and you have to go back and […]
I was a huge fan, but the app has become a total train wreck. They keep adding new features but breaking or removing old ones. Now the download function no longer works for entire shows, and you can’t specify how many episodes to download. The server keeps disabling remote access, playback quality controls are gone, […]
This new refresh sucks and is unreliable. It’s not easy for me to find my servers and half the time they don’t even show up anymore even on lan. The android app constantly crashes at start and I have to force close it in the app settings. Come on Plex I’ve been around since pretty […]
Break free from the subscriptions! Own your own media. Plex apps make watching your own movies a better experience than streaming, no plugging a laptop in to the TV to watch something. Just get the movie on your computer and watch it on the big screen or anywhere. And you don’t have to worry about […]
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, […]
Who at Plex thought it was a good idea to refresh the app without feature parity with the old version? Navigation is confusing, there isn’t a sense of hierarchy. I can’t seem to be able to create or edit playlists. Pinching the screen no longer zooms in on a video so I can cut off […]
The ad said this was a free streaming app and that there was no subscription required to watch your favorite movies and TV shows. Yeah, they were telling the truth, but if you don’t have a current subscription with Disney+ or other services, you can’t watch anything on this app. This app is pretty much […]
New app has outright broken functionality and is a massive step down in reliability and features from the old one. No ability to automatically download latest X number of unwatched shows. No details when looking at anything in the “what’s on later” for live TV. No ability to filter media by rating. The progress bar […]
For a platform as mature as Plex, you’d expect them to at least put out something that performs better than an early alpha build. Sure, the new refresh LOOKS good. but what’s the point if it’s not even usable? INCREDIBLY slow, can’t play anything without constant stuttering and freezing, features removed. This was not ready […]
