Bug filled, my main issue is every time I try to play an episode of anything it errors, and then I have to press play again, but once that happens the ability to continue watching the next episode after the first finishes goes away, making it so I have to go back the the shows season and press the next episode, which then errors again and the process restarts. If this bug was fixed it would be an easy 5 stars but it ruins the app for me.

It used to work with my Chromecast and now it just crashes every time. I have the latest version of Plex and my Chromecast is updated but it still won't work. I used to watch every day I tried for a week to find a way to contact customer service but there's nothing on their app

Navigation the app is inconsistent. Use of the back button is inconsistent. Sync/Downloads rarely works enough to be used. Transfers just never start. Artwork sometimes never loads, even after trying serveral times. Items will sometimes take a whole minute to begin playing with no obvious reason for the delay, even for fully compatible files that get played directly.
