more This is a fantastic app! It solve two problems that have plagued the Plex client since the most recent Plex Server updates. First, the Live TV function works with iOS and iPad OS. I thought this was a lost cause, since the issue has been reported by multiple people to Plex for over 8 months and there is no consistent fix. This app brings this function back! The second this is performance. The current Plex current seems slow to load content, even on a fast network and all the settings properly set. This used to work well before the most recent Plex server upgrades. In any case, the performance is excellent and the loading is very fast. Overall, the app works well and is easy to use. I took a chance buying the app hoping that it would be an improvement over the regular Plex app and, sure enough, it was. Thanks for developing this and keeping it updated. In addition to an iPad, I use this on my Apple Vision Pro. It would be nice if it was a native AVP app, but it seems to work just fine, especially when I need Live TV. For 3D movies and full AVP support I use ScreenLit.

This app is just about to be perfect. When the next iteration makes it way from github to the app store, it will be perfect. Once we get the picture in picture/minimized play to be able to do continuous play while still minimized, I never need a different Plex app again. It's already leaps and bounds better than the utterly useless official Plex app, but it literally becomes perfect in one more iteration. Every addition after that is just bonus.
Developer Response Picture-in-picture has been added in the latest update.

This is a fantastic app, i’m happy with my purchase. playback is quick and responsive and the visual design of the app is years ahead of the native plex client. But i have an issue when i open up my app sometimes it just opens to the downloads tab and i can’t get out. Rebooting my phone sometimes fixes it, uninstalling and reinstalling fixes it every time. very annoying. then the missing functionality, i want to be able to change the resolution which is currently not available. These would be my criteria to update my review. Otherwise great app and looking forward to the future of it.

I am not someone who was massively bothered by the complete redo of the official Plex app, but after giving this app a shot I will say it is immediately clear how much I was fooling myself. This is so much better and faster. It makes getting to my content actually NOT a tedious task and will make a tremendous difference in convincing my family to use our own streaming service rather than defaulting to Netflix (or whatever).
