Could you please revert to all-in-one?

I suppose that’s unlikely at this point.  
There’s clear benefits of having the dedicated apps for the different media types. Plexamp should give you a far superior experience, focusing on music/audio.  
… and the new experience apps focusing on videos will hopefully also overcome their early-stage hiccups and make a better experience compared to the earlier “one size fits all” approach.

I used PLEX because it was all-in-one!  
And I thought Apple had taught us the value of simplicity…

yep. I couldn’t agree more. Not sure what Plex intends on doing over the course of the next few months, but I’ll definitely be the first to say, as a long time subscriber, I’m not feeling the love.

Between devices constantly being dropped from support to servers no longer being accessible to the “owner” but still accessible to managed users to crap like these absolutely garbage apps allllllllllll the way to the constant breaking of things during every server update, wheres the LOVE PLEX? HUH?

Obviously, this isn’t a company who values their long time users/subscribers. Nope, they’re looking to the future, likely on how they can bump up revenue by renting out garbage movies for a garbage price! I truly do hope it backfires on them tbh!

Yes, please revert. I’ve uninstalled the iOS app and won’t be reinstalling it unless I hear it’s all in one again.

Has there been a customer sounding board? Did I miss something?

The worse thing is that they removed the Photos management too from the main app, but the Plex Photo in the store doesn’t work.  
I’ve all my lifetime library on Plex. ☹
