Plex has unveiled a preview of an app redesign that is slared for a full release in early 2025.
The redesign is currently available as a beta on mobile and will shortly be released on TV platforms.
Plex says that its “newly reimagined Plex experience” has been in development for almost two years and is “designed to bring everything you love into one seamless interface.” The organisation admits that the current beta version is missing some features, but says it will close the gaps in the duration of the preview.
Navigation is a key element of the new look, which Plex says makes it easier to navigate through content. “Through extensive testing, we found that this new structure not only helps existing users navigate more intuitively but also gives new users a much clearer sense of what Plex is all about. We’ve brought our core features to the forefront, saying goodbye to the days of hidden hamburger menus and making it easier to explore with one hand on your phone.”
Rather than just a facelift, Plex says it made the “significant decision” to rewrite its apps and unify its codebase to create a consistent experience across platforms. The unified approach, says Plex, has made the app faster to navigate.
