Worst Viewing Experience Ever!

Reviewed on 2021-04-20T02:53:47

OMG this is the worst viewing experience I have ever had. Ads break in in mid-sentence. One ad interrupts another.If I was paying for ads I would be quite upset. The screen blanks out and you have to restart the movie. To top it off it was working ok and with. 3 minutes left in the movie it blanked out. They must have all the engineers that flunked out of school working for them. I don’t mind watching ads for a movie that isn’t on one of the services I pay for, but Plex is sheer torture. Delete. (I have a newer Sony Android TV.)

Awful experience. Fails to stream from latest Android phone to Chromecast. Support is nonexistent,basically a discussion forum. As a paying customer I expected better. I won't be renewing.

Early days

Reviewed on 2021-04-02T10:07:11

Early days, still working on setting up my libraries and only sharing with 2 family members,but so far it looks to be an awesome app, does everything I ask of it, just gotta do some fiddling to ensure transcoding happens as little as possible. The reason it loses a star is because there doesn't appear to be a way to hide Rotten Tomatoes critics reviews from the content screens. I don't want some pretentious, biased left-wingers pumping their opinions into my home library thank you. Remove that, or allow me to hide it, and it's 5/5!

A great experience until it goes wrong, good for n00bs but any one technical needs more options.Random transcoding errors make this the poor mans apple of media consolidation.

Plex is a rip off and don't work so…

Reviewed on 2021-03-27T19:25:25

Plex is a rip off and don't work so well, i share with about 20 family members and about 6 friends and i also paid for plex pass,well they disabled my account saying i am selling for access, i ask them where did you guys get this idea from they would not tell me and i wasted money on plex pass, i tried again with a new account and it was working fine but once i paid for plex pass few days later the account got disabled again. Plex is all about money and the support is very bad to the point where the support started to not act professional at all. I am using emby and over 3 years never had problems with it.

Every New Update Breaks Something

Reviewed on 2021-03-07T09:21:00

Developers are obsessed with changing the interface. They constantly change it radically.I already lost count how many times they did this. And problem here is that nothing was wrong with the previous interface, but they still change it over and over... And every time they release new update, they break something. Stop fixing things that aren't broken! Horrible company.
