Plex today officially released a new, completely revamped version of its mobile app. This popular media creation software company & streaming application keeps rolling out impressive newcomers to the user experience. Under the hood, this major update brings a reimagined user experience, with a new, streamlined navigation and a new home for its popular Watchlist. With these improvements, Plex hopes to offer a more efficient and tailor-made experience for its wide-ranging audience.
The redesign of Plex’s mobile app streamlines a previously confusing interface and puts more emphasis on user-centric content discovery. The freshly streamlined interface includes a prominent location for Plex’s Watchlist. Their most powerful tool is the watchlist feature, which allows users to save items they want to see from dozens of streaming services. This all-encompassing Watchlist is intended to make content discovery easier for users and simplify their viewing decisions.
Plex’s Commitment to Personalization
Plex has become a household name for their expanded free streaming TV and movies, paired with a new movie rental service. Don’t worry—we’ve retained all the functionality you’ve come to know and love. It significantly accelerates the discovery tools so you can more easily find content that better matches your interests. These tools are central to Plex’s mission of enabling a complete media experience.
Core users of Plex, the personal home media pros, love the control and ability to customize their viewing experience. This new capability supports their all-around fun and happiness quotient. The app allows users to favorite particular media libraries. Now, each library is at your fingertips, with its own dedicated tab. Such a degree of personalization provides the most seamless experience, with users only needing to scroll through content they enjoy.
In addition to the mobile app updates, Plex plans to align its TV and mobile apps, bringing them to parity with an upcoming update for the TV platform. This change should give users a more uniform experience, no matter what device they’re using Plex on.
What The Author Thinks
Plex’s revamped mobile app offers significant improvements, particularly with its focus on personalization and a more intuitive user interface. The Watchlist feature is an excellent tool for streamlining content discovery, and the app’s push for a consistent experience across devices should improve overall user satisfaction.
