Very nice

While this duplicates some features available in other apps, it does so in a visually pleasing manner. I find myself using this app more and more when I want to see what the server is up to and I really like the way server updates are presented. I’m a fan.

Super handy!

Been using this app to monitor my plex server on the go for a few years now. Zero issues
Great app but...

Great app but... I’d like to see an “update plex server” button that tells the update to apply server side. The Apple TV plex app does this but I’m not sure if Varys can. Perhaps a summary of watched content from users would be useful. Otherwise love it.
Must have if you run a Plex server

Lots of useful info, well maintained and I love the widgets!
Great App
thats a good name
Great monitoring app. Love that you can simultaneously use Ppex and Tautulli as data sources and add multiple servers. Some of the UI flow in regards to navigating between shows/seasons/episodes could be improved but otherwise everything is great. I love having the widget on my home sceeens
