Leave a Review Plex
Limited content
Just got this but seems to have a very limited array of content. Not sure if this is a regional issue but there appears to be a lot of old movies, B/C rated content and double ups from other streams I already have. Be selective when purchasing you might want to short term commit and see if it suits your expectations. For the price you pay for lifetime subscription it definitely doesn’t meet mine.Show lessLeadhead30
Mess the old open source version
I used plex since the day when it was free and open source, now lately the plex software is going down hill making everything not work right or having to be force to pay to get ads and other features. Plex removed the plugins witch was amazing features but now you have to pay. I’ve already switch to another free open source software that does what plex does but better. There are developers who cares and plex only cares about money.Show lessAdamTheMan23
Plex is the best
The first time I downloaded the Plex app I was able to create a free account no problems with it whatsoever, and the cool thing about Plex, is that I can watch live TV channels, such as ElectricNow, and dark matter TV, and many others, I also have Plex on my Roku, and I also lots of movies on Plex as well, but one problem I’m visually impaired and whenever I go to look for a channel but I am I watch Plex on my iPad and on my iPod touch, whenever I swipe for channels or to listen to the name of the channels, it only says the name of the TV show or movie that’s on, so if you could fix that feature that would be great, and another thing too, I would love to cast plugs to my Roku express, and my Roku premier, and whenever I go to choose a device to airplay or cast to for some reason it won’t let me cast so please fix that in and that would be great, love Plex I get Plex five stars, so to the developer of Plex love the app keep bringing new features and new updates, and keep expandingShow lessJoedejong.mister horror?
Love Plex, App needs Polish.
This app constantly crashes and the new downloads are a nightmare. If it downloads, which is a big if. The media might still not work when you go to use it.Feychjbgu
Plex is on the edge of perfection
With the inception of direct play from Network. I have been able to retire all my other media players. The interface is fantastic. Plex plays smoothly and it is easy to use. The one thing I am waiting for, and it’s holding me back from giving five stars, is the inability to transcode Dolby Atmos, DTS-X, or Dolby True HD, audio to Apple TV. We love our Apple TV, but at this time we are not holding our breath for Apple to give us lossless audio streaming from third-party application. Please figure out how to transcode it to what Apple TV can play. At this time if I try to play any files that include any of these audio codecs, Plex fails to play the file on Apple TV. We are also hoping for Dolby Vision support soon. thank you for your hard work and fantastic application.Show lessXkwwwx
Time to say THANK YOU
Continues to just get better and better, had PlexPass in the very early days and best move ever…. Seamless and just works.
Only occasionally I use it on my Phone…. The way it lays out the PIN page is not that flash (iPhone 14 Pro), not a priority but worth some thought …
Keep up the updates and great overall experience … A+++Show less30JulyRemember
Used to be great, but now…?
When I first started with Plex 5 years or more ago, it was a great system. You stored your files on a local server and streamed them to a TV. Simple, brilliant.
However as the years have gone by they keep on tinkering with it. More features, more content, at the sacrifice of reliability.
The new download system is simply rubbish. It can’t hold a Harry Potter book any more. The app won’t last the night if you want to listen overnight. You are logged out frequently and need to rescan everything. The default settings are for any other content except for your own. This list goes on and I’m paying for this! Plex, please, stop adding new features for five minutes and get a grip on the bugs. Fix the download issues properly and start offering some sensible support. You’ve made it so complex now that beginners can’t cope and forums don’t work if you have a problem due to a bug.Show lessGerynant24
Uselss on MacOS
I'm not sure why this is available in the MacOS App store. It kind of works, but there is no way to control the app once a video has started aside from pause / skip forward and backward using the keyboard.
There's no way to go back to the video selection, or skip to the next episode.
There is a preferences window, but it doesn't show anything useful.Show lessOdd reviewer
You need to do better on your app
The update to the new logo in august of 2022 deleted ALL my offline content! 😡 How is this acceptable? How come you didn’t test it? Why is the app constantly crashing in the background with the new update? You’re support forums are a joke, I want to report an issue to you directly and can’t. And the the last time I used your forums I was told to repost it because it wasn’t in the correct folder. That’s your job not mine! 😳 If you don’t like where it’s at then you move it. I’m not your IT support or paid by you to redo anything. I reach out for support and need support not to be told I’m posting on the wrong page. So why isn’t there support in the app? I wrote this review for Plex to see and show users what a frustrating support system they have. I love versatility of Plex but not their support.
No support for this app their forums are a joke and keep taking away features like “pause downloading” and won’t implement a directory based playlist creator. I’ve been on their site to complain about these things and always met with “you need to move this thread”, that’s not my job! It’s yours I go there for support not to be talked down to and patronized when I have an issue!Show lessClark of hope
