Review summary

The reviews show a mixed experience: many users report the app works well and can deliver local streaming for free, with strong, positive overall sentiment when functioning. However, the recurring issues are: intrusive ads interrupting playback; reliability problems (crashes, server connection drops, Dex-related UI issues); weak library management and search capabilities (and lack of robust local file playback/playlist support); and pricing concerns around Plex Pass and changes to remote streaming. Overall, performance is inconsistent and depends on setup.

Pros

Local streaming without Plex Pass (no ongoing subscription)
Ability to run a Plex server on a personal device (e.g., laptop) to stream to other devices
Overall positive sentiment when functioning (reviews describe moments of Very good/Excellent/Great performance)

Cons

Excessive or intrusive ads during playback
Reliability issues: frequent crashes and server connectivity problems (especially on Android/Nvidia Shield)
Weak library management and search quality; difficulties finding local NAS content and limited local file playback/playlist support
Pricing concerns: Plex Pass and changes to remote streaming being not free anymore

2026-07-22	Wi*****	update: the app is still broken and plex is not fixing anything. everyone should disable updates and use a 10.x version. update: now it's completely broken thanks to their new garbage update. It just keeps getting worse with each update. Corporate sell outs have ruined this product. Very buggy and annoying to use. Confusing interface and annoyingly difficult set up. and the new app will not let you change the audio of the movie you are casting. I'm dumbfounded by Plex's idiocy.
