Plex is rolling out its big app redesign

Following months of testing, Plex has started to roll out its redesigned mobile app to Android and iOS devices, and it will arrive to everyone within the next week. The new app comes with an updated navigation system that should make it easier to access different parts of the app and find content to watch, along with a dedicated tab for centralized media libraries.

It also has a button in the top-right corner of the screen for your Watchlist and more artwork across detail pages for shows and movies, as well as cast and crew profiles. In a post on the Plex forum, the company outlines a ton of improvements it has made to the app since the preview, including faster load times and scrolling, the addition of a sleep timer, and picture-in-picture support.

Plex plans on rolling out a way to download a whole season at once, the ability to cast to more devices, UI improvements for ratings and reviews, and more. It’s also working on a revamp of its TV app, which it started testing earlier this year.

The new app isn’t the only big change Plex has made this month. The company announced that it’s raising the price of its Plex Pass to $6.99 a month on April 29th and will also start requiring a subscription to stream content while away from home.
