Plex Customer Insights

1. It often restarts playback when pausing and playing, which is a nightmare for audiobooks, and the playback speed resets with every track, so good luck listening to slow audiobooks with short chapters.

2. I so like the selection of movies and series that I haven't uninstalled the app, in hopes yall will fix the problem.Okay so it turns out playback is limited, however for a one time purchase of 5$ you no longer experience that playback suddenly stopping.

3. After getting through that nightmare scenario, the show plays flawlessly until the next ad break.At first I thought this was a great app.

4. Lord help! Such a great opportunity, but I have never in my lonely, over streaming life experienced the amount of buffering during the playing.

5. I can make it through the first eight or so songs in an album before it continually says "An error has occured playing this item", which is infuriating.

6. Anyway, glad it works.Plex is a good streaming service, but the app is iffy at best.

7. Really? You have an ad break that shows "100 seconds to go." It gets to 43 and jumps back to 110.

8. I thought the app was buggy, until I did a lot of forum reading and found out what the problem was haha... That being said, the in app message explaining this (in my opinion) felt misleading.

9. I typically use it to listen to music and it does that fine... For the first few songs.

10. Hoping these features will be fixed—looking forward to updating my review to 5 stars!The actual app is great with 1 giant exception.

11. Stops playback after a few minutes when watching things on mobile.
