Plexamp for Negative User Reviews

✓ Airplay?Great app to focus on music. Things to consider: Airplay and Cast button to use our phones as a controller and play music on our home speakers such as Sonos. I could use the Sonos app, the Plex player, desktop apps and media streaming devices but then what’s the point of using this mobile app? I personally need it to compete with the DS Audio app for starters. It currently takes a lot of work for users but we need something easier than using iTunes to create smart playlists to download, edit to add FLAC, then attempt to import/upload/sync into Plex. If done correctly, I’d like to open Plexamp and choose MY playlists the way the ‘time travel’ playlists show up. My music library is too large. Creating a ‘Plex’ playlist isn’t helpful if it’s not compatible and can’t be exported to other apps and devices. We should be able to edit ini files similar to the movie metadata files to list similar artists and genres vs using lastFM. But do we really need so many apps in order to run a true experience: PMS, PMP, Plexamp, Plex Dash? Do we want to? Thanks for giving us something to try out during Covid-19..Cheese n riceVersion: 3.0.0

✓ Probably good for smaller collections, but a buggy mess regardlessI've been looking to move away from Apple Music and the 100k song limit that comes with the iCloud Music Library, and thought this was the solution: access to my whole library with the option to download for offline listening. What I didn't realize, however, is that trying to access downloaded music on this app when internet is spotty (like commuting on the subway) was basically impossible, so the app is worthless in that regard. I thought this might improve by springing for a Plex Pass, but no dice. To make matters worse, functionality the app around my home (either on WiFi or cellular data) has cratered into unusability: search function is completely broken in that nothing I type yields any result - it may register the first letter I enter, but that's it. Trying to navigate back to my library results into a molasses-like slowdown before the app finally crashes. I started out very excited to use Plexamp, and it even worked for a couple of days before becoming mired in an impregnable swamp of frustration. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, maybe it only works on the latest phones - I wish I knew, because I really don't want to go back to Apple Music..JCVDangVersion: 3.4.1

✓ Doesnt workAn unknown error has occurred. Unable to login.Sprawlie80Version: 4.2.2

✓ CarPlay is terribleOh no, what happened guys? Plexamp used to run smooth like butter on CarPlay, however after the past couple of updates it runs terribly. Music suddenly stops playing, songs randomly skipping, menus take forever to load or don’t load at all, scrolling in menus cuts off and doesn’t let you see what’s remaining, the whole thing just stops working. This is my go to app for music in the car, I really hope you guys get on top of all these issues..PsytrixVersion: 3.8.2

✓ Still a few issuesCan’t seem to shuffle all tracks Songs still show all the stars when you tap and hold them (with that option turned off in settings) Would be great to get an album grid view also..EMissenVersion: 3.0.2

✓ Pretty good, but…Using the Tidal app on CarPlay the Artists and Albums appear in random order. Not good when you are trying to find something whilst driving! And no, it doesn’t copy the app sort order on my iPhone! I have it in alphabetical order in there, but in CarPlay it is random..The - ElfVersion: 4.1.0

✓ Hopeless taggingPlexamp is a beautiful looking app and is really great at playing music. However, it has a mind of its own when it comes to displaying your music collection. I spent a lot of time carefully tagging my mp3 collection and I have a precise way of doing it. Sadly, Plexamp ignores what I have tagged and assigns it’s own names. Some are good, some are bad. For instance, I can quite easily put up with “Dylan, Bob” being displayed as “Bob Dylan”. What is a lot harder to take is three Beethoven pieces being shown as by “Kenneth Shermerhorn”. He was the conductor on one of the pieces but had nothing to do with the other two - yet Plexamp stubbornly refuses to let me change it. Many people won’t be bothered about the inconveniences I have noted, but to me, they ruin the app - hence only two stars..JfbuckleyVersion: 3.4.0

✓ I have a lot of storage …… but this app won’t sync my entire library. Makes me sad I can’t have all my music with me pre-downloaded all the time..Eric VanDammeVersion: 4.6.3

✓ Fantastic start!Update: latest update added a section for you to go through all your artist, tracks, albums, etc, and gave alphabetical side scrolling!!! As I’ve used the app I’ve noticed when trying to not use any data, the app can act real weird. For instance if you turn of cellular data access to the app, and if you go off WiFi, you cannot scroll through any of your music. You can only shuffle the playlists you have downloaded, and you cannot scroll through those song’s, only play them. Please let us scroll through our music offline if we have downloaded the music. Also please let us download our library easier. Had to make 4 playlists and download them separately in order to get whole library downloaded. Not ideal. It would also be nice to set the new library page as your default when opening the app. Love it’s functionality and ability to adjust eq on an iOS device. Though I would really enjoy being able to adjust shuffle and repeat on the fly, just like every music app does. This on its own is why I can’t give it 5 stars. Also would be nice for the “All Music” option at the top to be a little bigger for easier selection..PieceofbenVersion: 3.1.1

✓ New Home layout is a step backwardsI don’t have any interest in Mixes or Stations and I’m rather disappointed you can’t disable these from appearing on the Home layout. I typically gravitate to a specific album from Recently Played or Recently Added and go from there. The fact that Mixes and Stations take up so much real estate and clutter what used to fit on my screen without swiping is really a step backwards. I appreciate the additional capability as everyone has their own preferences for interacting with their music library but please add an option to disable or rearrange them..Aeros88Version: 4.2.2

✓ Always have trouble connecting to servers,This app is good when it works, most of the time it cannot connect to servers, and I get a message saying it makes me sad. Very frustrating to use as I have paid lifetime membership yet cannot access my music when I want too. This needs fixing.Jfycycjc jobVersion: 4.6.3

✓ Almost great, but not quite.Why is it so hard to switch libraries? Would make a lot more sense if it was similar to the Plex app. Switching between podcasts, and several music libraries shouldn’t be a game of hide and go seek in settings. Aside from that this is a great app..MaximusprimateVersion: 4.1.0

✓ Doesn’t workCan’t get anything to load. Big thumbs down.Mark.delbiondiVersion: 3.9.1

✓ Not casting on iPhone 12Currently this app will not cast from my iPhone 12. I can cast from the Plex app but not PlexAmp. So frustrating..FB-aholicVersion: 3.7.1

✓ Good app but a major issueIs an amazing app! But the app look like reduce volume sound for any reason … The max sound volume is not what Apple Music is ! I have the same file on both plateforme and on Apple Music the volume sound is much better. I Chek the setting of plexamp and everything is in the max, no restrictions…. Possibly to fix that issue ? Thanks for your work.MisterFrazzVersion: 3.8.2

✓ UnusableYou’re really not doing yourself any favours by releasing this early. This app is unintuitive to the point of being pointless. The smart playlist features never work, and expected behaviour which is present in EVERY other player in existence isn’t there. Behaviour isn’t consistent with the regular plex app. That is the worst. At least have that familiarity, so people moving from regular plex can control it without being frustrated. There are awesome UX designers out there, you should use them..DisGuyVersion: 3.1.0

✓ Almost perfectMissing a cast feature and CarPlay. I could do airplay, but that doesn’t work so well with a Chromecast Audio..Noja_11Version: 3.0.0

✓ Playback positionExcellent app Only issue (major) Plex amp does not save last playback position. Somehow it stuck to a point and even if you play beyond that point, next time it start to that point. Very disappointed life time Plex pass user Download function also not working..Magicpana13Version: 3.9.1

✓ Okay but missing streaming optionsI can’t imagine why adding support for DLNA is not possible..NiagaraPeteVersion: 4.6.3

✓ IPhone 8 / iOS16 search makes it crashCan’t use the search function. As soon as I try to select the searched tune, the app crashed. Barely usable. I tried uninstalling / reinstalling but the issue remains..XnOuXVersion: 4.4.0

✓ Local Files app storage and Cloud StoragePlease add the option to load music files directly via wired or wireless into the app without being Plex Server dependent as it takes a long time to download a full library playlist. Would also be nice to fetch or link music from the Files app. Better yet if a Plex Amp folder was in the Files app and it could just direct play from there or a Music folder in the Files app would be perfect. Plex Amp is far superior to the default Music app by Apple but having to download only playlists is hampering it’s full ability. Would also be nice to load cloud servers into this app..Tom's ViewVersion: 4.6.1

✓ No ShuffleNice enough app, but without Shuffle Play it’s pointless. Plus it’s frustrating not being able to have a song play when you click it from the “all tracks” view, instead you have to click into the track and then click play, and then go back to the all tracks view. Can’t this be done from the “all tracks view”? I’d like to be able to browse through my tracks and instantly play one that I see. Anyway, thanks for the effort. I’ll re-download once the app has basic functionality..JohnvonahlenVersion: 3.0.3

✓ Can’t download full playlistsCan’t download full playlists. What is this? 1999? Even the main Plex application allows this!.RawlinsongVersion: 3.4.0

✓ Nearly there for Apple iTunes users but…..Nearly there for Apple iTunes users but….. Needs some more TLC and care taken to iron out the bugs. Very unfriendly for editing and making collections or albums near and tidy. Dear pure many albums and artists displaying correctly in iTunes, the interface is PlexAmp fractures many in to my little albums with one or two tracks in them instead of maintains the filly album group. The ability to sedition and reorganise the metadata within PlexAmp is seriously lacking.SciFiMacmanVersion: 3.9.0

✓ VariableSeems like a load of different applications. I’m using the windows app, mobile app and Apple CarPlay. There is no similarity between the applications and the use is far from intuitive. I’m mainly using the CarPlay app to stream from my NAS because the native Synology app (ds audio) is so dreadful but I’m wondering if this is much better. Needs more work. Why is the “radio channels” not available on all platforms?.RogerWillyVersion: 4.2.2

✓ Great but needs improvementIt’s great to have access to your cloud music anywhere. AND the app gets album art and info pretty much on it’s own. I love that. But there are a few problems. For one, the app allows for album downloads, but not downloads of single songs. Also, a downloaded library search would be welcomed. Finally, on occasion the app leaked forever to play downloaded songs. Bottom line is Plex is amazing. Overall my complaints are more for minor tweaks than anything else. Anyway, I’m happy to be able to enjoy my music collection, free of the Apple Music app and other services..Ta0paipaiVersion: 4.5.3

✓ Lots of potential, keep it up!This app has some great potential. I love how users can customize many aspects to suit their needs. Including an equalizer which I haven’t played with yet. A couple downsides are downloads seem to be an issue - very slow even if you set the quality to the lowest setting, it won’t download in the background which is very annoying since it’s so slow, and the one album I downloaded won’t open a track list in the “downloads” tab, it just starts playing. Downloads definitely need some work. On the positive side I love the CarPlay connectivity, only thing I would love to see added is a way to easily navigate back to whatever you’re currently playing in Plexamp when you turn the car back on, right now I have to navigate back there in the phone app. Overall though it’s a great concept and if they keep working on it I think it could be amazing..Floppity DooVersion: 3.1.1

✓ Needs a lot of work but a good first releaseThis is a strange app. It looks pretty and has lots of nice gimmicks, and plays music nicely and with hapless playback, but lacks basic browse functionality. You can search for music that you definitely want to listen to, but if you want to flick through your music collection to find something to listen to your far better off using google music until this app is updated. Until then... uninstall....David brentVersion: 3.0.0

✓ Only one thing keeping me…There is only one thing keeping me from using this app instead of prism music. That is filter/sort when looking under the genre. If they would implement the ability to pick a genre and then show the artists that have something in the genre so you could pick the artist then allow you to pick the album then the song. Right now when you pick genre it shows you all albums that have that genre. Sometimes there is a lot. But if instead of showing all albums it showed the artists that had an album first, then you could pick the artist to just see the albums of that artist. I love most everything else about Plexamp other than that. It is the only thing that keeps me using prism music instead. Hence 3 stars. And no airplay. Common Plex get airplay support.CarltonnobleVersion: 4.4.0

Plexamp works most of the time. If it is not working for you, we recommend you excersise some patience and retry later or contact Plexamp.
