User Reviews

The reviews show mixed sentiment: users praise Plex for solid library organization and genre variety (notably horror/classics) and the ability to binge-watch, but repeatedly complain about core reliability issues (bugs, crashes, battery drain), a disruptive UI overhaul that removes or hides features, degraded downloads, poor iPad multitasking support, and pricing changes that feel like a misstep. Overall, content variety is a plus, but stability, usability, and policy changes are the dominant negatives.

Pros

Excellent library organization that helps manage your collection.
Strong catalog for genre fans, especially horror and classic films.
Free, ad-supported movies offer solid value for casual viewing.
Ability to binge-watch content across seasons.

Cons

Persistent bugs and instability, with crashes, stuttering playback, and noticeable battery drain.
UI/UX regressions: new design hides or removes features, moves controls, and generally makes the app harder to use.
Downloads and offline features are degraded or nonfunctional.
Poor iPad multitasking support: window controls block the UI and multitasking navigation is unusable.
Pricing changes and subscription model frustration (shift from a one-time fee to a subscription).

Recent reviews

If you weren't here before the redesign, I'm sorry. At the same time you might actually enjoy the app. For those of us who have been using Plex prior, this app has become an abysmal experience. Last week I could play videos, but then I could not exit them. This week I can exit videos, but I cannot pause them. And when I say. "I cannot", I mean, the buttons do not exist on the screen. Someone in their product department clearly called the shock to release this redesigned app before it was ready and we are suffering for that decision. I don't know if they believe that they could iterate quickly and fix it before it bothered us too much but reality isn't that convenient. What's craziest is that they'll get something right but then it'll be broken again the next month or week. Like they don't have tests for what they are releasing?
