Just installed PlexAmp v4.50.3 (Beta).

First thing I noticed was that my existing Android PlexAmp Widget got removed from my home screen.

I figured it was some upgrade/moving from Release → Beta pain so I went to go re-add the PlexAmp Widget and…now there’s no PlexAmp Widget available to choose 🥲

Not the end of the world but hope it comes back soon.

Thanks!

I hope it comes back, soon. I used it as my daily music streamer on my phone, and the widget is key to that.

I’m debating whether the new features are worth losing the widget or not. I’m gonna try to live without the widget for a while to see…

Adding my +1 requesting the return of the widget. It’s my main, and preferred, way to quickly interact with the app.
