Great experience, needs more error checking. Nfs mount dropped out after initially installing leading me to believe the app was just broken, whereas it seems the media was cached in the main plex app. Would be good if the app checked to make sure the file exists and display an error message if the file fails to play.

The app works great for the most part. I love the build your own mix feature to make queues of a particular vibe without having to make a playlist. But casting with this app SUCKS. It looks ugly up on a big screen and the music inexplicably pauses every three to four songs. I have to use Symfonium to cast my Plex music library to the TV to play through my stereo system instead of using Plexamp which is great in every other situation. Please fix!

The app is functional, but not exceptional. I recently swapped over from having all my music on my phone with VLC, because it kept deleting the multi-thousand song playlists I spent hours on (reasons, regarding me, sleep and people) I enjoy not having to worry about saving to my phone, but there are just a couple of small downgrades that make the experience more annoying and clunky. Such as android auto playback functionality, lack of queue count, and limited sorting. (More but 500 chars)
