In November, Plex unveiled a redesigned iPhone app with improved navigation, larger artwork, a dedicated section for media libraries, and more. The redesigned app is still in beta, and as of today it can also be tested on the Apple TV.
Plex shared some screenshots of the redesigned Apple TV app, as seen below.
Plex previously said the redesigned app would be available in early 2025, following beta testing, but it has yet to provide a more specific timeframe.
Plex is a popular video player that lets you stream your own media library on a variety of devices, and it also offers ad-supported TV shows and movies.

As a long time Plex user, I truly wish they would stop messing around with the app. Over time it's become so bloated and full of 'their' junk. I don't want all the on demand stuff. I want it for my local content only.
If my TV had a native JellyFin client I'd jump immediately over to it.
Recommendation for owned collections: use the orange icon "Computers" app. No ads. No vod. Simple (Apple designed and works with Apple DRM'd content too) UI that harkens back to the original AppleTV UI created by the Lord Jobs...
Home sharing ('https://support.apple.com/en-us/108958') still "just works" and Computers brings all of the owned media together in one simple app.
In my household, Computers is the second most used app of all AppleTV apps... right behind the incredible Channels app ('https://getchannels.com') for live & DVR television. All of the streamer options- including the AppleTV app are all well down "most popular" lists here.

Requires a Mac be up and running all the time, doesn't work outside the household, and only works on the Apple TV. The only Mac in my home is my MacBook, and it leaves with me.
Plex and my Synology is much easier. Plex is on every platform.
The bottom screenshot looks the most different - it has stuff across the top now rather than down the side.
Ahhhh yes, I see that now, thank you. They do tend to push their Plex stuff, but its easy enough to hide it all. I really don't blame them for trying to make a little $, for what a great product I personally think it is...I'm okay with it.
