Published my first android app (Plex Remote)

Been working on a remote control for Plex Home Theater these last few months, finally finished testing yesterday and it's published! Figured I'd post up here in case there are any Plex users that might find it useful.

But Plex already has a remote built in to its app?

Yeah I've got their app too but the remote is pretty lacking. I've been a Plex user for a long time and couldn't find a remote that I liked, so I wrote one myself with all the features I wanted.

Also, their app is $5.

Right, I guess I assumed you would have the app if you were a longtime Plex user. The mobile app is one of the greatest parts of Plex imo.

But anyway, looks neat.

Cheers man! Yeah the functionality of the Plex Android app is nice but for some reason they stripped a lot of the remote control functionality out of it about a year back. Go figure.
