Superior to Plex Dash in every way that matters

I’ve used both Plex Dash and Varys for a little while now, and Varys just outperforms Plex Dash entirely. It loads quicker, the history page is *actually* consistent and accurate (by far my biggest frustration with the Plex Dash app), and the server statistics are more readily accessible and easy to read, with more metadata available to you in comparison. If you’re an avid Plex server manager, the Pro price of $4 (at time of writing) should be an easy decision. A no brainer, superior alternative to the stock Dash app.

Promising but ultimately disappointing

The developer is certainly a homelab user. Feature rich and would likely be better than the plex app if it worked. I get repeated error messages and I haven’t heard back from the support team/developer. App is useless with most basic functions dysfunctional.

Great!

It’s got all the features of a service like Tautulli but without having to set up a third party service! Well done I can’t believe this isn’t built into the official plex app

Good

Its a very good app, keeps track of does everything Plex Dash does, why I wanted it is to be able to add users and remove users on the fly and that does not work.

Great app!

I decided to get Varys because I crave all the information I can get about how my Plex Media Center is performing!

Edit: 05-06-22. This app is awesome!❤️

Best way to monitor server!!

I love to be able to see cpu usage and recently added. Great app!!

Junk

I tried the 7 day trial. It’s junk. tautulli is free and way better.

Perfect Plex Companion App

It allows me to manage my server while on the go without laptop access and does it much better than Plex Dash.

Very good

Very good

Amazing App, Completely Worth Cost

Worth it.

Great app

This little app works perfectly with my Plex server

Very good App but only recognises DD+ 7.1 as 5.1

This is a really useful app to use with Plex media Server, particularly if you are sharing content friends to actually check how it is serving content and at what quality.

However, it consistently identifies Dolby Digital plus (EAC3) 7.1 channel content as 5.1 even though Sonos connected to my TV correctly decodes & identifies it as 7.1.

Doesn’t work

This use to be great but now it doesn’t work for new tv shows on plex and there is no way to get support. It says go to his website but nothing there.

Great App

Love the app, I use it everyday! Is there going to be an update for this app for iOS 26?

Varys is amazing

This is my single most used Plex app beyond when viewing my content. It does everything I need and more.

One bit of developer feedback: I’d love to see my GPU load as well as CPU load. Please and thank you.

Does its job

Tells me info when media is played from plex. Can’t beat it

Great App but please update

This is a great app for Plex but currently the app is broken. The restore purchase window keeps on coming up every time you open up the program . The App still works great but the developer, who is MIA and doesn’t reply to email requests, just needs to update the app to fix the purchase issue. We are in desperate need of an update.

It’s great

Works well and I’ve never had a problem.

Great app

Love the data this app provides

Doesn’t do much

The app doesn’t do much different from the native Plex Dash app for me. Also, every time I open it I have to restore my Pro purchase. This happens across devices and is very annoying.
