I really really love using Plex
Still my one favorite media app
Cannot play half of my movies
Continuous sync error till' 1
Since the last update the app does not sync content to my tablet
Cannot find my home theater to cast my content from android phone
Bad for downloading content on the client device to watch offline
Recent update causes crash loop on Google pixel 7
Brutal battery drain long after I stop using the app
Which is not something I face when using the iOS version of the app
Complete junk ripoff
No real audiobook support
