Leave a Review Plex Photos
  • Impressive beginning

    I just downloaded the beta, which used my account to find the libraries held on my local server. The response was quick! I like the organization! This is a big leap from the Photos tab within the Plex app! Thank you!!!
  • What’s the point?

    What’s the point of this app if doesn’t let you download the pics to the device?
  • Thank you

    This is a great add, I work in the industry and know how much it takes to launch something new - keep up the good work!
  • A good start

    It’s a good start I just wish they could give the ability to move photos from the mobile device directly to the plex library. It was possible before.
  • Plex is dying

    This app is 100% useless. I figured it may actually be a camera app that communicates directly back to my server. Nope, it does the exact same thing as the normal plex app. Don’t waste your time. Plex, get your life together. You’ve released nothing new of any use in years. Plex arcade was kind of fun (dead), plex podcasts was very cool (dead), plex webcasts was cool (dead), plugins was extremely useful (dead).

  • Too barebones

    A little too light on the features. As far as I can tell, there’s no real reason to separate this from the main app. Nothing new is offered here. No mobile sync, no editing features standard with other photo apps, no slideshows like on other photo apps, no way to link with iCloud, Google Photos or other cloud services. I want to use Plex for photos, but it’s just too basic in its current state.

  • Hopeful

    Would love to eventually see photos upload for Plex Pass users.
  • Freezes

    The App often freezes and I need to quit it and reopen to start viewing again. I have only loaded a handful of images to test it out, so this is concerning going forward.

    I have high hopes for Plex Photos. Currently PetaPixel is the standard for self-hosting image galleries, and Plex Photos is very lacking when compared. I would love to one day see it actually become a little bit more featured rich app like PetaPixel, iCloud, or even Amazon Photos. As is, Plex Photos seems more like a distant afterthought to the Plex and Plexamp apps. Looking forward to future updates.

  • Hopeful

    I’m excited that Plex is working on a photos
    app. Please bring back the feature to upload pictures from your mobile device. we used to have that in the main app where we could sync with the server, I would love to see that come back.
  • Beginnings

    It will be nice to have a standalone app. Right now it’s pretty basic. Not sure what can be done to improve the library page but it’s pretty stark. Also I’d like to see a way of adding or displaying captions and await other improvements.
