Best client for Jellyfin or Plex

I was a long time Infuse user until recent issues with Trakt, I moved my scrobbling to Simkl and needed an app that worked with that service. Found Plezy and it is the best app going, can use with plex or Jellyfin, sync history with whatever service you want, ui is beautiful and it’s got loads of customisation. Haven’t had any issues streaming remotely or at home. Use this now on all my apple devices and it keeps progress sync perfectly if I swap devices

Extremely thoughtful functionality

Hey mate; you’ve done an absolutely fantastic job here. Really well done. Ive had a pretty thorough click around and tried out a range of different features. I found the UI decisioning to be pretty thoughtful and had zero issues finding everything I wanted to find based on changes I wanted to make. Basic stuff like landscrape orientation on navigation, ability to edit metadata within the app, VERY complex filtering (including a huge variety of stuff not available in the official app).

Im a long term power user and will continue testing over the next few days. But if notjing severe rears up, im probably going to switch my entire setup across and will probably recommend my users do the same.

Perfect Plex Replacement on AppleTV

Took a chance and bought this after the recent update to the Plex app on AppleTv. All the features and options are there,Adding my Plex servers was easy, I’ve has ZERO issues with videos loading or stuttering.

It. Just. Works.

If you’re searching for a Plex App replacement after the recent AppleTV app update Go ahead and buy it this. You won’t be disappointed.

Feel like I was tricked

Edit: the developers response is incorrect and completely dismisses my issues. I absolutely regret buying this app twice. Would rather use the other alternatives after that response than have given them money.


The app had the nav bar on the bottom for both iOS and iPadOS while in landscape view. For some reason it was updated and moved the nav bar to the left hand side. Being right handed this is inconvenient and I really dislike the look. I prefer it on the bottom. Why can’t it have been a toggle and let me decide? I will change my review if this gets reverted or a toggle, but looking at the GitHub it looks like they make changes like this at times without offering a toggle and you are SOL if you hate the forced change.

I’d gladly take a refund if it’s going to be this way going forward, I feel tricked. I’ll go back to infuse.

Response from developer

The "issue" you're describing can be fixed by turning off auto-rotate.

Great alternative to the official client

Plezy is smooth in appearance and function. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for an alternative to the Plex client on any platform.

My only request would be to increate the UI font size in the Mac App Store version.

A new contender

Fantastic Plex frontend with nearly all of the same features from the main app. Much cleaner, snappier, lightweight. It has a companion TV app, remote control, music playback, connects to various watchlist services. It's all there.

It has everything but Chromecast support, which I would like to see eventually.

Totally worth the price. No subscription. It's just doing everything right.

Amazing

Everything I wished the Plex app was and more. Added bonus of extremely active development. Keep it up guys!

Author hates Plex

One thing to be aware of is that the author refuses to accept or implement any features that require or benefit from Plex Pass. He states that this is because he does not like Plex the company, and so does not want to support them. If you buy this, you’ll never be able to use any features like offline downloading of transcribed shows, etc because he won’t implement them or accept contributions that implement them.

Totally Worth It

I was sideloading this app but decided to install through the AppStore and pay to support the app. It’s great. If you play media from a Plex server, this is the app that unlocks the full experience.

Great Media Client

Plezy is a great media server client and is more robust than the standard Plex client at the moment. The UI layout is slick and the library loads smoothly with any artwork that’s thrown at it. The built in media player is top notch and full of features, couldn’t be happier.

Love this app

though picture in picture is not working on OSX

Response from developer

Do you only see one library in the library dropdown (top right on the library screen)? If so, that sounds like a bug and you should open an issue on GitHub.

Better than the stock Plex app

Less bugs and lag, mostly just works

The best playback app

I have been using the app for the better part of a year and hands down this is the best media player for content on Plex. It by far more consistent and responsive than the native app. If you use Plex consistently it’s 100% worth the minimal cost.

Way better than Plex default app

This app is fast and lean. Doesn’t have any bloat. Works on both phones and computers. And finally I can tap and hold to increase speed without 10 different steps.

appletv4k, ipados 18.7.9

auf appletv kann man nicht die vollständige Beschreibung der Filme ansehen, bei Serien wird die Episodenbeschreibung nicht angezeigt.
Auf dem ipad gelingt keine Verbindung zum jellyfin server. Folderanzeige fehlt.

Auf Empfehlung eines anderen Users nochmal alles neu installiert. Verbindungen funktionieren jetzt.

Was bei mir nicht geht: Auf der Startseiten werden die Mediatheken nicht angezeigt trotz Einstellung
Start—Mediatheken.

Response from developer

Regarding the connection issue, it would be good if you could either email contact@plezy.app or create an issue on GitHub with as much detail as possible so we can solve the issue.

Superior to Plex App

If Plex had any sense, they would acquire this app as a wholesale replacement of the mediocre app they currently sell. This app might just make the new lifetime subscription worth it.

Plex as it should be and I am happy to pay for it.

This is what Plex was like before it became all about jamming in features nobody asked for and when the UI wasn’t a laggy, over-complicated mess.

Plezy has integrated the actual good features that Plex added, like intro and credit skipping, but it’s so much quicker to do things like enable subtitles, change quality. etc.

Plezy is 5 stars out of 5.

Close to perfection

This app just works, and it looks great while doing it. Would rate 11 stars if I could.

Amazing

I don’t write many reviews unless the experience is great or really bad. Plezy has been great, I read about it in Reddit and gave it a chance and it just fixed a lot of the issues I had with the plex client app.
It is a well done , nice UI and just works as expected app.

Great work dear devs, cheers
