Plex folks - first, thanks for all you do. With the imminent rate changes I was preparing to finally buy my Plex Pass…and then I downloaded the new version of the iOS app. There’s nothing I’d like more than having a Plex Pass, but there’s no way I’m making that commitment unless the new app gets sorted.
I think it would be fair to say the rollout was premature. There are myriad issues, and some organizational changes that I will simply have to accept. But two issues in particular stood out.
The first is around the ability to choose which version of an item to play. Thought listed as improvements made since the preview, this simply doesn’t work. The selected version only plays back on the phone. There is no way to select a version and have playback on the TV. You can go to the item and hit play, but it is effectively dealer’s choice. This cannot be how this feature was intended to function.
The second is the folder view in each library, which is all but unreadable. The lefthand side menu of the previous version wasn’t necessarily pretty but it was legible, and I think we can all agree legibility should be a priority.
So, fixes in these areas would be greatly appreciated. And hopefully, with some other improvements, I’ll have my Plex Pass soon. Thanks.
