Revamped Plex App is Live on Mobile

Users of the renowned media streaming platform, Plex, will notice a reimagined app experience. Whether you’re a long-time Plex user or a newcomer thinking about making the switch, this fresh design allows you to elevate your media consumption to new heights with a levy of accessible features.​

With Plex, your personal media collection coexists with a vast array of on-demand content, including free, ad-supported shows and movies. The new interface blends the two worlds by offering a seamless and intuitive navigation experience. The redesigned navigation bar prominently features live TV and on-demand rentals, making your next binge-worthy adventure just a click away. And for those who prefer a more tailored interface, customization options allow you to disable features that don’t align with your viewing preferences. ​

In addition to the revamped look, Plex is establishing a vibrant community of media enthusiasts. With the introduction of enhanced social features, you can now make your profile publicly accessible, sharing your viewing history, watchlists, and insightful reviews with friends and fellow Plex users. Let your thoughts be heard in lively discussions by commenting on others’ reviews and transforming your solitary viewing sessions into interactive experiences reminiscent of platforms like Letterboxd, Goodreads, and others. ​

The revamped Plex app is currently live on mobile but is still in the preview phase for TV platforms. Since its initial mobile launch in November 2024 and its expansion to Apple TV (tvOS) in January 2025, users have given Plex feedback for updates during rollouts. With previews, Plex enthusiasts get to test-drive the new design while retaining access to the existing app version.

As Plex continues to evolve, so do its subscription models. Effective April 29, 2025, the Plex Pass subscription will see a price increase, and remote playback will transition to a subscription-based feature. The new Remote Watch Pass offers an alternative solution for enabling remote streaming capabilities for those without a Plex Pass. ​
