On the mobile apps (phone, tablet) I would like to see a screen lock option so you can hand the phone to a young child and not have them exit the application.

iOS 6 devices have this already as a global OS feature. It is called “Guided Access”, you enable it under the accessibility options then it is just a triple tap of the home button to activate.

I’ve tried the Plex Pass but will discontinue before the month is up. I have to download videos to the device and use MX Player with Kid Lock for my daughter to be able to watch videos without stopping playback every few seconds. I will buy a lifetime membership if this feature is added.
