You either die a hero…
You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
I used to absolutely love the Plex app—it was my favorite way to enjoy all my media. When the team released the new version in 2025, I approached it with patience, giving it plenty of time for bugs to be addressed. Unfortunately, even 2 years later, in 2026, the app continues to underperform compared to the older version.
The new Plex app often freezes, particularly when switching between libraries or filtering content in the browse library view. These persistent problems make the experience both frustrating and un

Needs work!!
Plex has SO much potential and honestly could be way better! Especially because it’s not just for tracking movies/shows, it also has free in app streaming kinda like Tubi, which is a huge plus. The concept is amazing and there’s so much customization, but the app performance and syncing issues make it hard to fully enjoy.
Once you start adding a lot of movies, shows, ratings, watchlists, etc., the app becomes laggy and almost unusable. I constantly get “A connection error occurred” and then can’t use the app again for several minutes. It crashes a lot too, and this has been happening since I

Hard to recommend now
Have been a longtime user and lifetime plex pass holder. Have really enjoyed the plex experience for personal media, but ever since they tried to become a streaming service as well, things have gone downhill - offline downloads somehow now require the app to be online.. don’t know how that is supposed to work for roadtrips with kids on iPads with no connection. They had a major price hike last year, which was/is a hard pill to swallow, but now upping that same price over 3x again for lifetime plex pass.. makes it a very hard app to recommend now.

So much less than it once was
Plex has been on a mission to eliminate the primary. Customer base that made them what they are. Those of us with personal media collections that we want to access remotely, at home, and sync to our devices are no longer their target demographic. Even though I paid a steep price for a lifetime plex pass, they have slowly whittled away at one of the primary features that I paid for: downloads. The current version of the app supports this, but in the most useless and frustrating way. Individual episodes must be downloaded, watched, and deleted. For a road warrior, that’s a ton of clicking and ta

You Broke the iOS App – No “Repeat One” & No Series Sorting for Downloads
I paid for a lifetime Plex Pass specifically for download functionality, and your updates have completely destroyed that experience — and it’s been two months with no fix in sight.
⸻
1. You removed “Repeat One” on iOS.
Why? It’s still on Roku and other platforms. This wasn’t a niche feature — it was essential for looping single episodes for kids, workouts, or personal favorites. You removed it without warning, without explanation, and without any way to bring it back.
Two months later, it’s still gone.

2. Downloads are a mess.

The first time I downloaded the Plex app I was able to create a free account no problems with it whatsoever, and the cool thing about Plex, is that I can watch live TV channels, such as ElectricNow, and dark matter TV, and many others, I also have Plex on my Roku, and I also lots of movies on Plex as well, but one problem I’m visually impaired and whenever I go to look for a channel but I am I watch Plex on my iPad and on my iPod touch, whenever I swipe for channels or to listen to the name of the channels, it only says the name of the TV show or movie that’s on, so if you could fix that featu

Update fixed app breaking glitches - Works great again!
I’ve used Plex for over a decade and recommend it to anyone who will listen. Anyone who’s used Plex for a bit will know they did an update awhile back that essentially broke the app for months. Completely unusable. I was really hoping they’d be able to find a fix eventually and Plex came through. I can once again stream all my content on the mobile app with no issues at all. I’m sure the Devs put in more than a few late nights getting it fixed and I wanted to leave a quick review to show appreciation.

What I love about Plexes there’s a lot of good information. A lot of good classics plus there are some good choices for movies. They do have commercial commercials, but that’s OK if no, most people that watch TV have those anyway now including Netflix and I like the fact that you can do it like a TV guide and it’s simple to use you can watch it on your phone or you can watch it on your TV but it does have things for pretty much everybody in the family young kids, teenagers, and adults and plenty to choose from just start out.

Was great once
Their most recent overhaul of the mobile apps, including iOS and iPadOS, is terrible in many ways. A couple things that directly impacted my usage are:
1. AirPlay to Apple TV completely broke. It used to show up on the tv in full resolution and play normally. Now it plays a cropped version as if screen sharing without scaling to the output device and looks awful
2. Downloads are useless now. Even if I’m able to successfully download for offline viewing, they moved the menu of downloaded content to a dedicated downloads LIST. This is particularly horrible for tv shows which are no longer orga

Waited 6 months, changes aren’t coming
Long time user, lifetime member. The update in April removed all of the useful features, especially sorting of downloaded materials and smart playlists. I have hundreds of lectures sorted like episodes and used to be able to create smart playlist, which would automatically download the unwatched lectures and delete the lectures that I have already completed. That entire feature is now gone as the lectures are randomly sorted by title instead of season (year) and episode (week) anyone who uses Plex for television would be dealing with the same problems of sorting.

Plex updates information
I have a lifetime Plex Pass (have had for more than a decade) and it is by far the best piece of software I’ve ever used. I’ve run it on multiple servers in multiple households on three continents as we’ve moved, and it’s never let me down. I run all the Plex family of software and use it constantly.
I wanted to let the developers know that one of the things I REALLY appreciate is the fact that when you release an update you *actually* say what bug fixes and updates are included, not just “bug fixes and improvements”. I stop and read it every time I update. Thank you for treating us as capab

Absolute Trash
As someone who purchased a lifetime pass, this is borderline criminal. This app is trash. Instead, i’m opening a browser on my ipad to watch something instead. The home screen is useless content that has nothing to do with my plex server. The only interface to my local content is the libraries themselves as far as I can tell, which means if you want to pick where you left off on something, you have to go find it, rather than having it immediately available. Plex should be ashamed of themselves. As an actual paying customer, I should be able to adjust the settings to get rid of all the st

Worse over time
I am a lifetime member and have been disappointed. The main issues are: (1) plex does not automatically play downloaded versions of videos if one is downloaded AND you have an internet connection. If the WiFi or cellular connection is weak, it will try to stream instead of just play the version downloaded on the device. I need to turn off cellular and WiFi if I want to play downloaded versions. (2) plex does not auto play the next video in the downloaded list. It should. (3) when streaming and auto play is on, 50% of the time, the audio from the previous video plays OVER the audio from the cur

Update has issues
The current update has bugs. Sometimes when it goes to the next episode of a tv show it starts at the end or it starts playing the new episode and the previous episode at the same time. Also, the new interface makes it harder to find things. I liked the previous version better.
This version also crashes a lot. It randomly decides to restart while I am watching something and when it comes back up it isn’t where I left off it’s at the beginning again. I have had to fast forward multiple times because it cut off multiple times with something I was watching. It seems to happen when it loses inte

For the love of the people
My family has been using Plex as our MAIN streaming app for over 12 years. I even got rid of Netflix due to our ability to add our own library of shows and movies. A couple months ago a major update happened and from that point forward, it has been nothing but a nightmare. The app crashes constantly, whatever you are watching will all of a sudden start over then start to reload then start, reload then start. 95% of the time I get error coded “oops! looks like the server is down”.

Not very functional
I think as a free app it’s fine, but it’s very much a pain to use. It doesn’t support picture-in-picture, so every time you tab out, it will pause the video. There’s then a 50/50 chance it will throw you into 2 minutes worth of ads once you tab back in even if you weren’t at an ad break when you tabbed out. Also it doesn’t seem like the setting for captions saves globally so I have to turn them on for every episode. Finally, it doesn’t seem like it matters how much time to fast forward, there will always be a chance it will start playing ads. This happens even if you skip just 1 minute sometim

Awful since the redesign!
Not sure what happened to my previous review, but the new version is so awful I’m making sure to write it again. I am genuinely flabbergasted by this update. I can’t comprehend the decisions that that led to replacing a perfectly functional app with this buggy and unfinished mess!
The old app worked fine. This new version is a regression, failing at a basic function of a modern streaming app: network switches. The previous version did this flawlessly. Now, if my connection flickers for even a moment when switching from Wi-Fi to cellular, the app doesn’t just pause…it completely loses my place

Plex use to be good
Plex use to be good, it was straight forward, easy to use but the most recent update has changed that to both the home app and especially the mobile app. The home app use to be able to setup to see all your categories of your library and what you were watching as soon as you opened it. Now the first thing you see is the available programming for plex and you have to go round and round to get to your library. The mobile app constantly fails while you are trying to enjoy some content. And it is only getting worse. I can’t even get 5 minutes through a show before it crashes. Let alone the waiting

Spread the word this app is terrible. Class-Action discovery impending
Please spread the word. This app is a disaster and a self-inflicted failure. The company has taken money from lifetime passholders and disappeared. It's a potential class-action lawsuit target.
I'm looking for members willing to join a class action against them. If you have logs from before and after the update, especially if you’re facing playback and navigation issues, those would be very helpful.
I believe the company has knowingly encouraged pirating of media from it customer and is shifting playback and navigation of its app to show an act of good-faith to move away from that.

Such A Disappointment
Plex was something we used all the time to watch our tv and movie collection. It was easy to navigate and was so great to have quick access to our personal library. Then they decided to Cracker Barrel the whole app with the stupidest update. Now we can’t even access our library without the entire app crashing. From reading other reviews of the “new and improved” app, I guess our library crashing is about as good as others have been experiencing with it now being a jumbled mess to access previously easy to navigate content.

Developers PLEASE listen to these latest Reviews!! We are desperate.
Update: now the problem goes beyond the app being separated. I can't even watch my own personal media on my iphone and move around my house without it stopping that episode or movie, buffering, and restarting it, either at the beginning or at the same time stamp every time. At worst, it would stop the media, send an error message and take me out of the video totally and I have to restart it. Please please, either update the app so these problems are fixed and it runs smoothly or "downgrade" it to what it was before. When my phone is in one spot it runs okay but that first movement renders it u

I love Plex but hate the new apps
I’ve had a Plex Pass for nearly 10 years and love Plex for many reasons…but the most recent updates to the apps (both iPhone and iPad- thank goodness Apple TV hasn’t been updated yet) make using them frustrating. Every time I launch the app, my libraries have been removed from the Home Screen. They used to pull in Recently Added, Recently Released, Top Unwatched, etc for each Library. Now the Home Screen is just streaming options. I’ll add the Libraries back, which is great until the app is closed (not even force closed). Also, when you tap on a Person to see what other films/shows they we

Quit forcing your content on plex pass holders
I'm a lifetime plex pass holder, and the latest iOS update forces me to see recommendations from plex instead of going straight into my library like it used to. Less options for the UI and forced landscape mode when playing media are both annoying (found this was a setting). One more drop in the "I should migrate to Jellyfin" bucket... if the product manager for the iOS app is actually reading recent reviews - seems like the latest update was a bit of a blunder.. might want to consider the paid users before changing something to drive %2 more engagement with your content.
August 2025 update:

Very n uggy and constantly crashes
The app worked great until the new version, you lost most of the features I liked and even when I make sure to update the app on time for patches that was supposed to fix the crashes it gets worse. I cannot do anything on my phone while trying to watch anything at all without having a problem with the player. Whether it’s on the full screen player or the window player it freezes and crashes and I’m tired of it, I even paid for a subscription to hopefully fix the freezing and crashing 2 months ago and I think that made the problem worse, even with the latest update where they were supposed to f

Ruined a perfectly good ad
Plex updated this app a few months ago and ruined the app. Want to use the app offline, not any more. Want to watch downloaded content without having to first sign in online… nope not any more. Want to watch a downloaded series without having to select the next episode and hit play? Nope. All of this and more worked perfectly, until they updated to a version of the app that is in every way inferior with less features. I’m seriously considering jumping ship after paying a lifetime membership fee to another platform. Just go back to your old version until this is ready for prime time. Oh

Download Mistake
I used to love using the Plex app. I would download my shows to watch offline and it was great. But a few updates ago Plex decided to change how shows and episodes are displayed which ruined everything. Instead of each show being displayed separately and having the episodes in order by episode 1, 2, 3 etc it lists them by name. Not only is it annoying that episodes from shows are mixed together but even for one show the episodes aren’t in order that you would watch them in. At least let people decide how they want it to be. I would rather go to my downloads and see each show/movie. Then click

Plex Has Lost Its Way
Every time I return to the app using iOS multitasking — you know, one of the platform’s core features for years now — Plex makes me reselect the Home user. Every. Single. Time.
Now it won’t even stream from my own server. It crawls so slowly just trying to load the standard buckets on the Home Screen, I often think it has locked up. Hot links like embedded shortcuts to an episode’s season or homepage for the show has gotten so small and impossible to invoke, I end up frustrated having to march to my desk for a simple impromptu random playlist. What was once a solid, user-focused media platfor
