Airiplay woes
There’s a lot to like about Plexamp but it gets a major failure for not working reliably with airplay on some networks.
If you have a network with multiple wifi access points then you may experience dropouts (and perhaps total audio loss) as your mobile device moves from one access point to another). You can fix this if your access points allow you to turn on fast roaming but some devices may not work with this setting (and if you don’t have admin control of the network then you are out of luck).
Other apps have no airplay troubles when fast roaming is off (such as Overcast,Prism Music and Apple Music) which is why I’m giving Plexamp a ding on its rating. If it weren’t for this it might be the closes thing to a perfect music app that I’ve used.Show lessAC4LT
Five star app
We could not be happier with this app. It does everything it says and does it extremely well. It works much better for music than the iOS Plex app and is one of the most reliable apps I use.
It’s got a nice interface, easy to find settings and is just overall a well made app.
The developer(s) deserve a considerable amount of praise for their work and if you stream your music library from your Plex server like we do, it’s a must have.Show lessPLA or ABS
Overall very good
It’s a strong streaming platform.
Possibly a bit over focused on outside subscription sources, but very solid. Use it everyday. I can’t stream to my devices outside of Wi-Fi because my internet provider doesn’t allow bridging. So I need to download content to my device. It will work for a while then something will cause it to not be able to read the downloaded content and it requires me to resync all content again. Doesn’t seem to get resolved so I assume it’s not a priority for PlexAmp team. Why can’t downloads be better integrated into the app? Why does it require its own tab with only list mode? All questions that can’t be answered. Still good. Just irritatingly so.Show lessadventure_tense
Almost perfect.
A few little details are annoying me. 1) When I select a track from a list, it focuses on the track. I want the option to keep the whole playlist in focus.
2) It seems I can only choose one source at a time. I have two network shares on my server, each with a different kind of library. I can’t browse them both at the same time.
My use is quite niche. I record a ton a music and need to hear it on the go. I use Plex server to access my work on remote server. PlexAmp gives me a key feature I need for writing songs to short loops…gapless audio. Thanks so much!Show lessJBlongzX
Needs improvement
4 stars for being able to real-time covert FLAC to Opus. However the UI really needs some work. Having two columns for “back to” and “up next” is really cumbersome. There should just be one scrollable list for the current playlist. There also needs to be a way to integrate downloads into the normal interface instead of just being its own tab. I should be able to browse by artist and album for downloads only. The reason I rely on downloads so much is that there’s not good service during my commute so I need to select only downloaded music for listening. Having to scroll all my albums and playlists in a non-sortable manner is not helpful. When I synced music to my phone using iTunes I could do this but not with Plexamp.Show lessdontpokethebear3893
Solid App
I'm a big fan of Plex Amp, especially the ios version. It's great for streaming my library of game music and works really well.
The only thing I dock it for is there's a limit on downloads maxing out at 24 hrs, so if you have an album or playlist it only downloads the first 24 hours. This isn't inherently app breaking but I wish the app had at least warned me instead of just only queuing up half my music. I have a 36 hour driving playlist I shuffle and I'll likely need to look into breaking that up somehow.Show lessPikcube
Solved my music listening issues
I used the Plex app to play my music. It has a lot of issues where it would crash the app, or skipping to the next track, it would have a ghost song playing in the background when playing the next track. It was also slow in loading the track. The plexamp app solves all those issues and my music listening experience is seemless. Thank you Plex for creating an exclusive music only app.Show lessChadman360
Good. Not great
Library requires pull down refresh to load. Seems like a bug. The “Playlist” view is ridiculously stupid. If you’re listening to a long playlist, and you want to see what’s in that playlist, get ready for stupidity. Instead of the app just showing the whole list, where your current song is, and what is next in order all on one screen, you have to get all this information from various tabs. The “Back To” tab show what just played, but in reverse order with the most recent song at the top. The “Up Next” tab shows the coming songs in the list in the opposite, descending, order, but not all of them. So you can never see all the songs in your playlist in the order in which they are played. Please fix this silliness.Show lessmildgenius
Great but needs improvement
It’s great to have access to your cloud music anywhere. AND the app gets album art and info pretty much on it’s own. I love that.
But there are a few problems. For one, the app allows for album downloads, but not downloads of single songs. Also, a downloaded library search would be welcomed. Finally, on occasion the app leaked forever to play downloaded songs.
Bottom line is Plex is amazing. Overall my complaints are more for minor tweaks than anything else. Anyway, I’m happy to be able to enjoy my music collection, free of the Apple Music app and other services.Show lessta0paipai
Really great personal cloud style music
I’ve been a fan of Plex for years, but it’s never been good at music, until PlexAMP. Now it’s a great music app. And I prefer to use local files, rather than relying on company servers. Here, the music runs off of what you have stored on your computer. You can use your computer as a server so you can stream to your your phone anywhere, or you can download the music to your phone through your app so you don’t have to use data when on the go. The only complaints I have are that the downloads and streaming from your library are treated as such separate entities (it’s hard to explain).Show lessblueSpiKe
