Plex says it rewrote the entire app from scratch, as it has recently done for some other platforms such as Roku (http://www.techhive.com/article/2888020/plex-for-rokus-major-update-improves-navigation-and-music-playback-features.html). (Plex’s Android app received its own major update (https://blog.plex.tv/2015/07/16/plex-for-android-material-design-makeover/) last month.)</p><p>With Plex, users can store their media on a computer or network-attached hard drive, and stream it other devices.
