Following months of testing, Plex has started to roll out its redesigned mobile app to Android and iOS devices, and it will arrive to everyone within the next week. The new app comes with an updated navigation system that should make it easier to access different parts of the app and find content to watch, along with a dedicated tab for centralized media libraries.
It also has a button in the top-right corner of the screen for your Watchlist and more artwork across detail pages for shows and movies, as well as cast and crew profiles. In a post on the Plex forum, the company outlines a ton of improvements it has made to the app since the preview, including faster load times and scrolling, the addition of a sleep timer, and picture-in-picture support.
Wow, this can only be a disaster. People on the Plex experience preview forum are pissed. The android build hasn’t been updated in a month, I didn’t think it would be rolled out for another 3-6 months.
So many features are missing, the only way to remove Plex rentals/free is by going into your account settings, performance is shit even just scrolling your media.
I haven’t looked at the beta client in a while and was wondering how they could’ve gotten it ready this fast. Guess I’ll pin my app version real quick.
Damn it, I don’t want to switch to Jellyfin
