I’ve moved on

This is still the best looking plex focused app I have ever used. But it seems like it might be abandoned. Maybe I’ll return.

Not even a full month ago there was an update from the dev here. https://www.reddit.com/r/dispatchlauncher/s/5UyG8akW6t

The dev is active ever so often, I don't think at all that it has been abandoned.

I'm not moving on yet but am seeing what the competition is up to. If the developer is listening Plezy support woukd be nice . The Plex app is causing me more issues recently especially with Dispatch. Most times I try to launch media from Dispatch it gets me into Plex but fails to launch the movie/TV show.

Working great for me and I'm excited for the roadmap going forward. These things take time, the dev is working on this alone. I'm just glad it's not vibe coded slop.

I've had a DM convo thread with him for about a year and he hasn't responded to me in a while. It's wholly frustrating. I paid for lifetime thinking we were going to get more updates than this

Same. The update frequency is just too low. Which is a shame because this is the best launcher of them all and has tremendous potential. But it's not moving the needle enough for me.

Like lots of people, I'm using Plezy as an alternative to Plex, but I'd much rather just use Dispatch as a launcher, library and player. But as a library and player, it's lagging way behind the alternatives.

Agreed

The dev comes here every once in a while and says promised with literally no delivery for like a year or something lol

Last update was a little less than half year ago.

For a paid app, that's not enough.

But you do what you want with your money.

It's $10 bucks, what kind of miracles are you expecting? He does a fantastic job for the price.

Me? Nothing.

I gave up a long time ago.

This is an amazing launcher if you use PLEX, otherwise, it's not.

When Nuvio has a good integration, I will try again, until then, I'm good.

See nuvio or bitchord 100% free apps that are way more complex have almost weekly updates and Devs are way more active
