### 4/5 — Plex design

*2026-05-21, version 2.1.1*

Love plex but they are needed for a redesign. When is Liquid Glass coming to their apps ?

### 2/5 — Used to be pretty good

*2026-05-14, version 2.1.1*

It doesn’t show active streaming or historical info anymore. Don’t know what happened but pretty useless for me without that baseline functionality

### 5/5 — Murkman

*2026-05-13, version 2.1.1*

The only reason

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-04-25, version 2.1.1*

Had a bit of an issue but just deleted them re-added the app and it’s all good now. I love this app!!!!

### 5/5 — Lifetime membership

*2026-04-19, version 2.1.1*

DO NOT PURCHASE MEMBERSHIPS THROUGH iOS or macOS platforms. They feel the need to add on an extra $70.00.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2026-04-18, version 2.1.1*

I use this constantly, perfect Plex companion. I wish it had thermals data.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-04-08, version 2.1.1*

Let’s me keep an eye on my media server from anywhere.

### 5/5 — Serves Its Purpose

*2026-04-07, version 2.1.1*

Does exactly what I need it to do, gives me access to my server and libraries from my phone for easy access and administration.

### 5/5 — Best App in this class!

*2026-04-03, version 2.1.1*

An awesome way to set up your home media lab right on your PC

### 5/5 — The best companion for Plex

*2026-04-01, version 2.1.1*

Thanks for it

### 5/5 — Handy App

*2026-03-31, version 2.1.1*

Provides a quick informative view of your Plex server. I use it almost dally to monitor use, server utilization, patch level, library size/growth patterns/runtime from anywhere and anytime. Just geeky enough to scratch that nerdy itch.

### 5/5 — Helpful tool!

*2026-03-25, version 2.1.1*

This tool has been super helpful for letting me monitor what media is actually being watched. I use the data to prioritize media quality and availability

### 2/5 — needs more features

*2026-03-22, version 2.1.1*

we need to be able to edit ALL METADATA on movies… like the title, release date, edition, logo image, EVERYTHING… what the point of having this app if you can only check posters and see streaming activity.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-03-15, version 2.1.1*

Exactly what it should be. Plex dashboard.

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2026-03-14, version 2.1.1*

Useful to control your plex server

### 4/5 — Good but could be better

*2026-03-14, version 2.1.1*

Why can’t I edit my library meta data on here? Missing a few key features from the web portal that need adding such as hardware decoding options.

### 1/5 — Just log in to Plex

*2026-08-17, version 2.1.1*

I get same info by logging into Plex.

### 1/5 — Can’t Connect Locally

*2026-07-14, version 2.1.1*

Maybe need another price hike?

### 1/5 — literally bloody useless

*2026-06-29, version 2.1.1*

yuck

### 1/5 — Always missing files

*2026-05-12, version 2.1.1*

Scans always seem to miss folders. Plex is on a downward spiral!

### 1/5 — Abandoned

*2026-01-06, version 2.1.1*

Doesn’t work any more. No updates in 2 years. Seems abandoned

### 1/5 — No login

*2025-12-25, version 2.1.1*

Won’t send verification codes so can’t login.

### 1/5 — Dream dont come true

*2025-12-17, version 2.1.1*

It would be a beautiful app, if it actually worked properly. Never once or better say only once it worked since then no all the time he actually perform his duty.

### 1/5 — It’s stopped working

*2025-11-12, version 2.1.1*

I’ve tried reporting a problem and this app does not allow that. Within the last week Dash has completely stopped working. I deleted it and redownloaded and it won’t allow me to select my server after logging back in. iPhone 16. Server is working fine. It’s a plex dash issue.

### 1/5 — Slow

*2025-10-30, version 2.1.1*

Slow

### 1/5 — Plex is dead

*2025-09-22, version 2.1.1*

This app is a companion to an app that is dead to me, so by extension this app should be considered dead and avoided.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Useful and informative

*2026-08-03, version 2.1.1*

Great

### 5/5 — Plex dash rocks!

*2026-07-11, version 2.1.1*

Free and does so much.   An update would be nice but I don’t really know what I would want added. It works and provides access to settings that the plex app does not on iOS.

### 5/5 — Almost perfect…

*2026-07-08, version 2.1.1*

Great access to most server functions and more. In many ways a better experience than the web. My only complaint… I wish I could restart the server remotely.

### 5/5 — Great Management App

*2026-06-20, version 2.1.1*

A great way to quickly check server statistics and make quick settings changes. Makes a real nice companion to PlexAmp.

### 5/5 — Plex is losing its original design and value

*2026-06-13, version 2.1.1*

1. I can’t add friends to my server from the plex dash but I can literally do almost anything else. Makes no sense. 

2. App lags and sometimes crashes. 

3. Would be cool if I could get GPU utilization

### 5/5 — Does what it says

*2026-06-09, version 2.1.1*

Which is good

### 5/5 — Works great

*2026-05-31, version 2.1.1*

App works great.

### 5/5 — Plex Dash is the best

*2026-05-29, version 2.1.1*

If you run a Plex server for your personal media (and why the heck aren’t you?!?!), you absolutely need Plex Dash.

### 5/5 — Fantastic Tool

*2026-05-18, version 2.1.1*

Can do just about anything admin related remotely with this tool

### 5/5 — Plex server and Plex Dash for Apple iPhone 14 iOS 28.??

*2026-05-14, version 2.1.1*

Very convenient, helpful user-friendly not a noob, but not a seasoned veteran
