Thanks for the response, So if i have the plex pass and add users to my account they wouldn’t need to pay for unlocking the apps right?

Yes and no.  
The users you add must be from a PlexHome setup for the app to be free for them.  
[https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/sections/200641063-Plex-Home](https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/sections/200641063-Plex-Home)

# Members of a Plex Home

[https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/203868088](https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/203868088)

## If your Plex account is a member of a Plex Home, that will also allow you to unlock the Plex for Android app. To do so, simply sign in to the app using your Plex account.

If you do not create a PlexHome then your friends will have to buy the app(1 time purchase) or a PlexPass of there own.

You should do that only with people who are living with you in the same household.  
Due to this: [https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/204232453-Fast-User-Switching](https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/204232453-Fast-User-Switching)

And the number of people in a Plex Home is restricted to 15.
