Plex, a popular media player and streaming service, has started rolling out its highly anticipated app redesign to Android and iOS devices. The new app, which has been in testing for months, promises to provide a more seamless user experience with improved navigation and a dedicated tab for centralized media libraries.

The redesigned app features a revamped navigation system, making it easier for users to access different parts of the app and discover new content to watch. Additionally, the app now includes a dedicated tab for centralized media libraries, allowing users to easily manage and access their media collections. Other notable features include a button in the top-right corner of the screen for quick access to the Watchlist, 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 outlined a range of improvements made to the app since the preview, including faster load times and scrolling, the addition of a sleep timer, and picture-in-picture support. Furthermore, Plex plans to introduce several new features in the coming weeks, including the ability to download an entire season at once, cast to more devices, and UI improvements for ratings and reviews.

The app redesign is not the only significant change Plex has made this month. The company recently announced that it will be 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. This move is likely to impact users who rely on Plex for streaming content on-the-go.

In addition to the app redesign, Plex is also working on a revamp of its TV app, which it started testing earlier this year. The company has not provided a specific timeline for the TV app's release, but it is expected to feature similar improvements and enhancements as the mobile app.

The redesigned app is set to reach all users within the next week, and Plex has promised to continue iterating and improving the app based on user feedback. With its new features and improved navigation, the redesigned app is likely to enhance the overall user experience and provide a more competitive offering in the streaming market.

As the streaming landscape continues to evolve, Plex's app redesign is a significant move to stay ahead of the competition. With its focus on centralized media libraries and improved navigation, Plex is positioning itself as a go-to destination for users looking for a seamless and intuitive streaming experience.
