Live tv channel missing
What happened to the Unidentified channel? Hope it comes back on.
Plex tv app is very good. Catch up with world news, listen to podcasts, tales to terrify is great for bedtime listening. So much content. Thanks Plex. But please bring the Unidentified channel back.Rosy PoolQueen
Took a turn for the worst
This app used to be good. My latest gripe has to do with the Plex team holding notifications hostage by not letting you opt out of promotional offers. Now I have to disable notifications entirely for flows I used to use so I don't get their promotions about their ad ridden TV service I couldn't care less about.Show lesschangelog
Promises so much, fails to support paid users
Been an avid user for awhile and opted for lifetime membership with promise of ongoing support and improvements.
Some things work really well, but there are some frustrating basic issues and missing features, and the Plex development team seems to be focusing on stupid features that no one wants (news/tidal/podcasts/vr) instead of getting existing promises right. Pleas for help in support forum are ignored.Show lessbeatit99
This app would be a good one, IF only....
The Plex app is pretty great, IF I only wanted to watch movies on my iPhone 11. It will NOT connect to my LG tv nor will it screen share 100% of the time. In fact, I can get it to screen share maybe once in 10 times that I try. I can open the app, start screen sharing, and if for some reason I have to close the app or stop screen sharing, it completely stops working and I get a black screen when I try to start screen sharing again. As far as casting to the tv goes, forget it. That isn’t even an option with this app from my iPhone 11.
I have tried numerous ways to fix the problem, but so far no luck. I don’t have time to figure the problem out either. For me, when I sit down to try and watch something, I want to be able to see it on my tv with ZERO issues because I almost never have time to actually sit down to watch tv. This app just does not work for me in this regard so its basically useless.Show lessdieKracken
False Advertising
Everything says it’s free. It’s not. You can’t watch your own content without paying 8$ a month or paying 7 $ to “unlock” viewing on your on server. If you don’t it’s only their content. Good thing I decided to make sure the app worked before setting up a full server for my house. Incredibly frustrating that only the online web version is free and that iOS is not free like it says almost everywhere. Not in one place in the website or description did it mention that you can’t even stream the content. I understood no downloading but this is insane.Show lesscapkirks
Disconnects constantly
Whenever I cast from iPhone to Chromecast, within 30 seconds of closing the app, the app disconnects and stops playback. The only thing that stops this is if I leave the app open for around a minute while it’s playing.
It’s an annoyance, but otherwise I have no further complaints.Ollieszn
Major problems with current release
After scrolling through movie library, the latest update started scrolling back to the first item in menu. This is super frustrating if you have more than 10 items in your menu.MadKiwiinNz
Plex Pass user
Not worth using anymore, they’ve started pushing client updates for AppleTV, Roku etc that stop it connecting to older servers. The newer versions of the software no longer work on older OSes so that old laptop/Mac mini/pc in the corner that you recycled won’t actually work after the “upgrade”..
Support is basically non existent, you have to post to the forum and the so called staff member just reply with, “you need to upgrade”... which if you are any sort of basic user you already know this and they refuse to help further with a “not out problem” reply. If you keep making an issue they close the tickets and hide them so other users cannot see them.Show lessMhix
Works and works well
Best solution to cataloging and playing media across many platforms there is. With a premium subscription and PlexCloud, one can watch videos from just about anywhere you can get a decent connection. While the interface does take some time to get used to, and the Plex folks insist on changing it all the time, it functions well and actually manages watching or listening for you in a very helpful way, including remembering what you have seen or heard, and continuing in the right places when you come back to something in progress.
And the Plex people are quick to address bugs and issues, and listen to suggestions for improvements. Just finished a trip to Italy and Germany, and had access to my media the whole time. In addition, Plex’s database of images, sounds, titles, and cover art make the interface beautiful and helpful.
The lifetime PLEX subscription was the best decision for me. And no, I do not work for the company, and they did not pay me to say this. Just very pleased with how well this software works.Show lessMajorHavoc
Use to work now trash
Use to work. It had a nice remote feature too that was removed. Now doesn’t even connect with Plex. Too buggy, you would think by now they would of figured it all out. As of today, app is completely useless. Gave 2 stars because at one point it was amazing!M1N199
