*If your downloading videos to watch offline, I highly suggest you do so over wifi as it will likely be
very slow on cellular for videos. If your in a bind you can flip it on as needed

You’ll see ads suggesting you upgrade to Premium or sign up for “Plex Pass” (same thing). The choice is yours and depends on how often you use Plex.

Currently, it’s $39.99 for the year, (just note this is just for additiaonl features and nothing goes to me). While they list a whole slew of features these are really the only relevant ones,

Plex Pass Features

Sonic Analysis – Works with PlexAmp and build libraries/Mixes based on your like, listening preferances and moods

Offline Downloads – Allows you to download content for offline watching on the app (like for flights or scenarios with no connection)

Skip Intro/Credits – Adds the funcition to auto skip intros and credits (when bingeing shows for example)

In my opinion its worth it but the choice is yours
