Bug fixes include fixing a crash when sharing with “Add to Plex”, the sign in screen has been adjusted to stop the refresh button from appearing cropped, and there’s a tweak to prevent background artwork from flickering just before playback.
As for the new app purchasing model, Plex allows users to either sign in with a Plex Pass enabled account to access all of the playback features or users can access the app through a one-time purchase. This revamped model only applies to new Android users. The free version of the app is still available, so you can test out the features before you buy.
You can grab the latest version of Plex directly from Google Play.
